Seen @ Secret Walls x Kidrobot for #NYCC (Day One)
- 90 minutes on the battle clock
- Only black SW special markers and
black acrylic paint can be used as battle weapons
- No pencils / sketches should be on stage or used as reference
- Each artist has to stay within the allocated space,
if they creep over then there will be a 1 point deduction
- Battles are judged by 2 nominated and neutral guest judges
+ crowd vote (3 point system) (using a decibel reader)
- Hosted on giant white walls.
The first day of New York Comic Con saw (above) Galen McKamy x Jerkface "versus" Frank Kozik (below) painting/drawing "live" at the event, and here are various images (culled thru the www via @kidrobot @FrankKozik @GalenMcKamy @incarceratedjerkfaces). Daily performances subsequently thru to Sunday will include @ronenglish @huckgee @mrscotttolleson @madtoydesign @lamoursupreme @buffmonster and @gregmishka.
"Secret Walls (formerly Secret Wars) is the World’s premier live illustration battle. Working in a similar way to Fight Club, Secret Walls battles are set up and promoted through word of mouth & social media. Battles take place between 2 individuals, or 2 teams of artists." (via)
