Upfest 2012

I attended Upfest for the first time today, and there are some incredible artists that attend this festival. It was really interesting seeing them at work. I really had a great time.

I was recognised when I got to the Tobacco Factory, and was asked if I would make a contribution to a collaborative work that was being created. It did not seem to matter when I explained I was a cartoonist and not  graffiti artist, so I had a go. Since I did not know that I would be drawing, and I have never really had much experience with the Posca pens, I did not think I did too badly. Two people asked me to sign my autograph, and do a small illustration in their book. That was very sweet of them to ask. Fame at last!:)
