Introducing Fringe Festival – For You, By You!

20/07/2015 by

Fringe festival is something coined by MCM London Comic Con – it’s a totally free collection of outdoor meet-ups and activities organized by no one more important and powerful (in the over 9000 sense) than you yourself!

At this year’s Cyprus Comic Con we have a lovely outdoor space – we got things started by adding geeky music, yummy food, ice cold drinks, a second hand and a handicraft bazaar! We know it’s going to be hot so we’re doing our best to keep things cool by providing fans and plenty of shade – just make sure you’re dressed for the beach!

So on to the meat of it – do you want to organize a fan meetup for your favourite game, movie, anime, manga, comic or character? Fancy organizing a flash mob or some graffiti? Are you really good at free running and going to be dressed as Ezio Auditore? Are you the only furry or brony in Cyprus? Sign-up below and we’ll publish and promote your Naruto meet-up or Caramelldansen flash mob making sure like-minded people find and join you!

It’s a great way to meet new people, break the ice and socialize at comic con!

George likes creating logo and poster designs, taking photos and drawing. His drawings mostly consist of his favourite comic book heroes, as well as videogame, cartoon and movie characters.

Primarily, George likes to draw traditionally on paper but he sometimes uses digital software such as Photoshop and Illustrator, for his graphic design work as well as enhancing his drawings. He first started drawing when he was only 6 years old by trying to recreate his favourite cartoon and video game characters. He always had a good eye for details and he would pay close attention to the way a character was drawn.

George believes that Cyprus Comic Con will be a great opportunity for him and all the other artists to showcase their creations and he is very excited to be part of it!

Thanks George, we are also very pleased to have you and we can’t wait to see what you have prepared for us!
