24 Hour Comics Day 2010 – The Aftermath |
It’s our second year in Cambodia as an official participant in International 24 Hour Drawing Day! Below are some selections of participating artists. The art is currently on display at Java Café, Phnom Penh, through the end of October.
It was a good mixed group this time, with local Cambodian participants as well as artists from the USA, Philippines and Vietnam. No one cracked the 24 page mark this year, closest was VJ Joson at 11 pages with ‘Magic Marker‘. As per prior years, we offered the ‘Cambodian variation’ of one hour/artist/page, as shown by Try Samphos and Chuob Borin (below).
