Next weekend's Singapore Toy Game and Comic Convention will please many comic book fans as a talented group of guests from the industry are set to converge at the Marina Sands Expo to appear on panels, or do signings and sketches.
To provide an appetizer for the island's pop-culture event, there is going to be a pop-up comic art exhibition launching a few days before. The "Superfriends" in Singapore comic art show will be held from 4th to 11th September at the Visual Arts Centre near Dhoby Ghaut, 11 AM to 8 PM daily. (Note: The gallery is closed to the public on 7th September.) .
Fan favourite artists Adi Granov, Mark Brooks and Agnes Garbowksa will have their original art featured at the exhibition. These include illustrations of comic book and pop-culture characters like the Avengers, Spider-man, Batman, Teen Titans and My Little Pony, as well as art pieces specially conceived and drawn for the show.
Visiting the exhibition will give fans an opportunity to admire these beautiful artwork up close. Or, if you can afford it, you could be the proud owner of original artwork by the featured artists. These are some samples:
There will be merchandise based on the art pieces created just for the show, and you will be donating to a worthy cause when you purchase an item. All profits from the sale of the merchandise (excluding original artwork) at the gallery will be donated to the Children's Charities Association - the coordinating body that organizes fund-raising projects for their six member charities - Association for Persons with Special Needs, MINDS, St Andrew's Mission Hospital, The Singapore Association for the Deaf, Singapore Children's Society, and Cerebral Palsy Alliance Singapore.
Don't miss this special exhibition. It is only open for a week!
