Comics and Fantasy Art

Calum with Lord of the Rings fantasy artist, John Howe

Calum spent yesterday in London. He went to see fantasy artist John Howe who worked on the Lords of the Rings films. He attended the book signing at Forbidden Planet of his latest fantasy art book. Calum said he was extremely friendly and that they chatted about drawing anatomy.

Afterwards Calum treated himself to lunch at Pret a Manger and then hit the comic shops, as usual. He found a new comic shop in Charing Cross Road called Orbital Comics which had the best selection he's seen at the most reasonable prices.

Calum managed to spend £58 on books and comics during the day, but he felt it was money well spent as he is building up a really impressive collection.

I think it's brilliant that Calum was able to go down on his own and do his own thing.

It's another sign of how much he's growing up.
