Dan’s too busy to write up his visit to the
Glasgow con so I, in my role as Best Girlfriend Ever, am doing it for him.
It’s a fairly small con but the guest list
was excellent – Rufus Dayglo, Alan Grant, Jon Haward, Grant Morrison, Frank
Quitely, Jim Starlin, John Wagner, as well as various small press publishers.

| Dan before the crowds |
Loads of
people came for sketches and poor old Dan didn’t stop all day – 40 sketches by
3pm! Suffice to say, he was knackered by the end of it, but still a happy bunny.
We sold out of sketchbooks and met some very nice people - including Twitterfriends Mark Toner and Colin Bell. Here are some of Dan's sketches from that day:

| Request of the day goes to Colin Bell for asking for Dan’s own character- Sky-Knight (watch this space!) |
 |

| Last sketch of the day – Spider-Man/Peter Parker |
Thanks to everyone who came along to chat
and who bought a sketchbook. Also to Sha Nazir for organising the event and
inviting us.

Dan, you seriously need to come do a US Convention (NYCC!).
Jackie, if I don't make it to NYCC 2013 I'm seriously going to hand in my comics pro card. Which means... see you there, I guess!
NYCC 2013 = Announcement of Dan McDaid's next project from Oni Press?
Wonderful sketches! I would say I love your Man-Thing... but you might get the wrong impression ;-)
I'll have to catch up with you at a con sometime... and maybe get a follow-up sketch to the Spidey/Sandman art I bought off you
:-)
All the best,

Yay!!! Dan is amazing!
I'm surprised no one asked for Majenta!
My daughter loves that Matt Smith that you are drawing here. It has pride of place on her wall, all beautifully framed and everything.
Thanks, Dan.
