Andrew Bell - Signings & Spotlight @ STGCC 2011
To say Andrew Bell was a 'busy man' at Singapore Toy, Games & Comic Convention 2011 [www / TAGGED] is not hyperbole nor romanticizing his appearance. Met him at the venue earlier in the morning, where he was being whisked away for a press interview, and subsequently saw him again at his scheduled Autograph Session - half and hour pass it's programmed time!
A point to note for fans - Andrew has a small stack of printed blank cards (with a frame) at his side, and it is to be a 'collaborative' sketch - where you doodle something on it first, and he will add on to your doodle, completing an image! Hey, I WANT OOOOOOONE!
Immediately after his Autograph Session, was his on-stage "Spotlight on Andrew Bell" panel - moderated by yours truly - which turned out to be a couple of lounge seats (well, I thought I could hide my shivering knees behind a table top, you know? LOL) in plain view of the audience! To which I ambled on for an hour, with Andrew graciously sharing with everyone (and kudos with his patience for my inanity) as well a swell Q&A with the audience members. (There's even a POV of us on stage, of the folks seated below heehee).
I even asked the audience to tweet Andrew's session @deadzebra for the session - of course I doubt it would trend on Twitter - but interactivity is fun, isn't it? One day when I sort out my technical facilities, I will post a video recording of the entire time on stage.
Panel on stage done, and after a short break, Andrew was spotted signing at his booth in Artist Alley G26 (where Androids Summer Editions and his O-No-Sashimi Singapore-editions were made available. I did not stay long later to find out of anything was left at the booth, but hey, I highly recommend you pick up a O-No-Sashimi at the Con! LOL
Mind you, the above-right image saw a stack of boxed Sashimis earlier in the morning, so cross your fingers if you can score any today! And sorry, that's Andrew back above-left, hunched over signing/doodling on a poster for a fan LOL
More snaps on my Facebook album!
Of Note: Andrew Bell has another scheduled Autograph Session at the Walk Of Fame area from 1pm to 2pm. And yes, there is a end-of-queue indication (aka a sole staff holding a placard-sign that literally says "End Of Line" - somebody get them a drink or a snack tho, so poor thing!). Go queue up and get yourself a signature. I will attempt to as well, if my poor body pities my plea and stops asking for mercy for overworking it LOL
Thank you for having such a nice photo of my wife. The girl in yellow shirt from first photo.
ReplyDeleteI am the guy who his back is facing the camera and packing on the ground from the bottom right in the second photo.
I would like to have some word with you, but I'm too busy having photo with Andrew.
Hope you don't mind I borrow your photo.
Thank you.
