It all began with a harmless online sideswipe on Twitter relating to the sticky topic of chewing gum which
Red Dot Island is internationally notorious for. And that was how
Red Dot Diva had her first brush with well-known graphic novels writer/ editor,
Ivan Brandon. Digital-style.
Ivan Brandon made his name as one of the creators for the robotic-"
NYC Mech" world. So,
Red Dot Diva thought that was rather apt.
She sure did not expect to bump into him and his pretty wife at
GnB Comic's pre-convention event.
Ivan happened to be there together with a host of other STGCC guests. They were also there at the shop for David Lloyd's special appearance. Towards the back of the crowded shop,
Ivan had settled himself on a cream-coloured sofa; his dark observant eyes quietly surveying the crowd.
Their eyes met and
Red Dot Diva promptly introduced herself. Shaking hands,
Ivan insisted that he does not chew gum, but pointed out that his wife had a pack of gum hidden in her bag.
Red Dot Diva impishly noted that this was most unfortunate, for as a responsible citizen of this island, she now had to call and report the matter to the authorities immediately.
There wasn't much of an opportunity to chat more as some fans swooped in eagerly upon
Ivan with comics for him to sign - which he gladly obliged.
