An SCC Review

noreply@blogger.com (Super-Mark) — Fri, 13 Jan 2012 16:17:00 +0000

This was sent to me by Ricky some time ago, he found it a couple of days after Heroes and Legends Margam Park. i only recently re-discovered it on my harddrive.

Its part of a Video Blog by a woman going by the name 'Little Miss Goggles'. she reviews the convention as a whole, but also gives the SCC a special mention. i hope she doesnt mind that i extracted the SCC part an left out all the rest. i would post a link to the full video, but she seems to have taken the video down and deleted her account :/

Now before you watch it, let me just say it is an incredible "Ego-tug" for the SCC. (i say tug, because it seems more all round age appropriate than Ego-W*nk)

HAPPY THIRD ANNIVERSARY SCC

Swansea Comics Collective - 3 years old!

noreply@blogger.com (MWPete) — Fri, 16 Sep 2011 13:31:00 +0000

Monday 28th September will be our third anniversary. I just re-read my first post and the four main goals we had:

• To create original comics, in all its forms and genres
• To encourage and support its members in creating comics
• To meet & socialise with people who share these goals
• To share resources & publish the group's comics

I think we have put a big tick next to each of them. We've self-funded and self-published two comics and are hard at work on our third. We've built up relationships with community groups and comic event organisers and run comic workshops in Cardiff and Swansea.

Thanks to Kevin Rahman-Daultry and the staff at Port Tennant Communities First, Simon at the Comix Shoppe for all his support, Noah and all the staff of Noah's Yard in Uplands for putting us up every fortnight and everyone else who has helped us along the way.

Cheers
Pete

Margam Park Wall Comic

noreply@blogger.com (Super-Mark) — Fri, 12 Aug 2011 16:22:00 +0000

Wall Comic from Margam Park
yes i know its late (ish) again, so what.

Thanks to everyone who stopped by and added to this 'Pow-tastic' piece of awesome... except Manhunter.

Heroes and Legends Margam Park

noreply@blogger.com (Super-Mark) — Thu, 04 Aug 2011 13:51:00 +0000

This are the Photo Escapades of the SCC at Heroes and Lengends-Margam Park last weekend. it was cool, and fun, and... cool-fun, with hammers and shields and pencils and goggles... be jealous.

Thank you to everyone who came along, everyone who added to the Wall-Comic (which will be up tomorrow or the day after) and again i feel i must apoligize if Adam harrassed you in any way (he has a problem, were trying to get it seen to, but in the meantime it really helps his progress if he's allowed out every now and again)

oh and also a HUGE Thank you to the guys that broke my Thor Hammer, Good job. :P

Swansea Comics Collective begin 'Copperopolis' project

noreply@blogger.com (MWPete) — Fri, 29 Jul 2011 13:06:00 +0000

A vast towering city, Copperopolis, is the domain of dreams, fuelled by imagination and a sleeping dragon...

Copperopolis is the latest project from the Swansea Comics Collective. An idea space where members create characters and stories in the same shared world. The core components of the city and it's history are being put together by Adam Wilmot and Ricky Webber, and other members of the SCC are developing their own heroes and villains. Below are some of the first designs:

Lava Bredd by Ryan James

Red Kite design by Lee Philips

Freefall by Ricky Webber & Mark Hughes

Copperopolis concepts by Lizzie Richards

Copperopolis designs by John 'Manhunter' Jones

Soul Miner by Pete Taylor

Check out Steve Lockley's blog for even more character designs.

Copperopolis has developed from a desire within the group to work on something collectively and through our contact with Swansea Museum and the interest in local history that our visits there have generated. Copperopolis was the name given to Swansea, in the 18th and 19th century because of it's importance to the trade and production of copper at the time. Anyone interested in this period of the city's history is encouraged to visit Swansea Museums current exhibition on this subject.
