Comic Mayhem

I was invited to participate in 'Comic Mayhem' last Saturday afternoon. It was organised by inTheMatchbox by NAC.

It was quite an experience for me because I initially thought that I was it was a small scale event where like minded artists would gather, mingle around and talk about our works. But when I got there I was told that I would need to speak to a mic in front of some 60-70 people.

Obviously I freaked out a little. Didn't freak out so much because I've had experience reading out speeches for formal events back during ITE days. Its all about confidence and projecting your voice.
What I freaked out about was the lack of planning. I got no idea what to say to them!
Furthermore, those attending Comics Mayhem that afternoon were mostly experienced artists.
Compared to them, my work is shit and I wondered why the hell would they want to pay attention to this crappy student and her noob work.

*SO MUCH NEGATIVE THOUGHTS*

Then I suddenly remember what my psychologist told me, 'Tune down the negativity, what is the worst that could happen?'

So I manage to calm myself down and just be myself in front of them. "Pretend you are presenting to alot of penguins."

Yay! 

I also met new friends at the event, Gene & Wayne whom I found out later that day; would be my partners in crime for a super secret / super big / super super / super yet to be planned / super happening event coming soon this super September. :x
