Last Saturday, my wife and me attended the Sci-Fi & Fantasy Festival that was held at Cineleisure in Mutiara Damansara (just next to The Curve). We are invited to join the Comics Zone that is organized by Cedko together with Mypartners Comm. When we arrived there, we really feel happy to meet our cartoonists and artist friends such as Cedric, Wong, Alifstyle, Adzakael, Azhar, Gen, Wanzu, Icesoul and others.

On that day, we are very proud because we are given booth in Cartoonist Alley that is on the same row as famous artist such as Gayour, Aie, Slaium and Michael. On that day, we sold SERRAM Episode 1, 2 and 3. Besides that, we also give away 30 pieces of 16-pages of SERRAM that we produced this year to visitors for free. Unfortunately, there is no merchandise of SERRAM to be sold that day. Maybe next time..

Two talks that I manage to watch are from Steve Bristow and Azhar. Steve Bristow, a famous figure in animation industry and also one of the key person in Saladin project,  gave us talk about the Career In Animation. He shows us a lot of the wonderful images, sketches and drawings from Saladin. It really looks awesome with first-class standard and on par with Disney. Azhar, the guy behind Urban Comics, gave a talk on PeKOMIK, a new association for cartoonists and comic artists. He explained about the benefit of joining it and what are the exciting things for the members. Me also signed up instantly on that day at Azhar’s booth.

There’s also the 24 Hour Comic Challenge, first in Malaysia, where the toughest among the toughest cartoonists will spend 24 hours from Saturday, 3pm till Sunday 3pm to create 24 pages of comic. Altogether there are 20 participants which are the mixture of professional, amateur and beginner. Hmm..since my stamina is below average right now (ehem..ehem..), I can’t join it this year. If I join, maybe I’ll fallen asleep during the competition

Kudos to the Pergh members that joining it such as Azhar, Alifstyle, Invictus, Icesoul and others. You all pass the endurance test and you’re all the winners (as quoted from Cedko)  But the most important is, during this event that you can strengthen your relationship with other people in this comic industry. Just like the Summer Camp or Motivation Camp. What a fun night to have…Hopefully, next time I can also participate. Better practise now, vrempire…

The things that we were really regret is because we don’t bring the camera. There’s a lot of characters walking around such as Darth Vader, Predator, Freddy Krueger and Jason that I desperately want to take picture with them. Darn!!

Congratz for the Cedko team for successfully organize this event. You’re really great guys!! Hopefully, this event can be held again next year. And I really looking forward to add more items to be sell that day.
