A few weeks ago Laura of SisterSpooky, Kerrie from ReadandRepeat and I were invited by Stripes Publishers to interview author Andy Robb on his houseboat near Taplow.
Laura has a brilliant write up of what went on during the filming here: On the Boat with Andy Robb.
While we chatted we were painting Dark Angels Space Marines.
Andy is an excellent host and all-round geek and nice guy. We chatted for ages between filming; about comics (He showed off his Spiderman signed by Stan Lee) I drooled over his Batman/Joker Animated Adventures, Doctor Who and the literary merits of Terry Pratchett versus J.R.R. Tolkien (Andy is a die-hard Middle Earther while I tend more towards the Discworldian view). He played the voice of Kring the magic sword in The Colour of Magic.
The video was made to promote and celebrate the release of

Both of whom were written by:

They were actually written by BatmAndy Robb.
The last few photos were taken at the book launch, which was held at the Waterstones on Kensington High Street. The launch was fantastic with a number of people dressing up as comics characters (my favourites being Walter ‘Rorschach’ Kovacs and The Big Figure from Watchmen), I was too busy enjoying myself to take photos.
This is Andy and Cristina of Crisckracker Films who filmed the interview.
Important Note: Each of the bloggers has a unique coda at the end of their videos so be sure to watch them all!
