24 Hours Comics Day 2013 in Singapore at Lasalle

This year's 24 Hour Comics Day in Singapore was held at Lasalle College of the Arts. It was a blast. I didn't join but I was there to meet friends who do, and the sponsor some prizes.

I've always wanted to check out what it's like to be at the campus of Lasalle. Usually I would just walk through its airy cavernous atrium for a shortcut to where I want to go. This time, I managed to go up into the classrooms and explore, and even saw the office of a friend Hillary Yeo that I didn't know was working there. It's a fun place to be at, and the students are lucky to study there.

Here's what went on during the two days.

The drawing took place at the fifth floor of block F. The clear windows from the ceiling to the ground is nice.

There's no walking tour, but spectators are welcome. I think the students must be wondering at times who those weird people are looking over their shoulders.

This year, there were more than 150 participants. Around a hundred are students from Lasalle. Even participants from the public has grown in size. So every year, they reach out to the same people, and by word of mouth, news gets around that there's this fun event that's going on. Here's a full resolution download (right-click save as).

Check out the 24 Hours Comics Day Singapore facebook page. And join next year if you can. I overheard Chris Shaw saying that they might host this event here again next year.
