[Jonas_J]

YES! This is awesome

[Emil_J.]

Woohoo awesome Manley! i am so going, can't wait!

[NyeAlexandaFrayne]

!SICK!

[francois_k]

I. AM. SPEECHLESS.

I am SO going.

[Eva K]

sweet!

[Stoat]

Oh, wow. Within striking distance. I don't really follow TAD things, so...how much, and for how long?

[emrahelmasli]

Looking forward to it!

[Jason Manley]

For clarity, this is a very special ConceptArt.Org event.. TAD has workshops, but they are in the summer and winter in the US and last for three weeks and are for students. The CA workshops are for everyone, and end up being a good mix of professionals, industry leaders, students, hobbyists and even beginners. I think our youngest last time was nine. He was super talented too..we set him up with an internship at a game company since he was a really special kid. The workshops are normally 4 days. We will have some announcements soon. Thanks for asking too.

[Mr.Pryminista]

This looks killer!!! Too bad I wont be able to make it Next time its in the US, I'll be there!

[PhilHolland]

It's going to be crazy Can't wait to see you all.

[Choob]

Can't wait to meet all you guys and steal your magic pencils. Discussing this with people on other sites and the main concern with London is price for accomodation. I think as long as you book a room as soon as the dates are announced you should be alright, it'll be expensive, but if you wait until nearer the time it'll double or triple the price. Any Londoners with tips on best hotels would be great, although knowing the venue will help which one to pick.

[Jason Manley]

We will try to do some negotiating with the hotels. Hang in there. We can sometimes get pretty deep discounts. We will try our best. 400 people showing up is a good chunk of cash and the hotels may bend if we get enough rooms blocked out.


We have not done one of these in almost 3 years (which is incredible to me that it has been so long...), so I have no clue when we will do another in the future. We are going to party like it is our last, and with the instructors whom are still confirming, coming on board, it is going to be the best one to date. I'm stoked!

[antoniou]

This Sounds great, please keep us all posted and I too will see in the new year if I can make it.

Yeay!

[Marian Rowling]

I really hope I can attend and afford it. I know it sounds like a once in a lifetime opportunity for someone like me. Also hope some of the other TAD faculty can come like Marshall Vandruff, George Pratt, John English, Jon Foster and Sterling Hundley as it would be brilliant to see them talk in person. I'm really excited.

[Serpian]

Hah! When you finally come over to Europe again, I'm off to SFAL2 in KC!! There's no way I can afford both.. I will have to catch it next time!

[Kambei Shimada]

F*ck Yes!! This is looking great! - really good selection of artists.
I most certainly will be coming to this one.


Jason Manley - will be good to finally meet you as well after our numerous Facebook conversations.

[AvP]

Count me in, will be great to finally meet you guys!

[francois_k]

*Squeals like a little girl* AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH

It's like a dream come true ;____________;

[Animare]

Yay can't wait! What an amazing line up! Got some friends in London that can hopefully put up with me for a week!

[Ken S]

When will tickets be available for purchase, roughly speaking? I don't wan't them selling out on me

[Platinguard]

Exciting stuff! Look forward too it

[MIKETAYLOR]

I hoppe I could be there with you all!!!!

[dges]

I'm in also ! Can't wait

[Aly Fell]

Have you confirmed the city yet?

[NyeAlexandaFrayne]

i have no money and have no job, looks like i'm going to have to sell some s**t! I HAVE TO GO TO THIS!

[Rynox]

I haven't been to one since the Montreal workshop, (and that was a blast) so I can only imagine the awesomeness that this one will be.

[francois_k]

So how is this gonna work? Are there gonna be multiple artists doing things at the same time at multiple places? How much are the tickets gonna be? Is there gonna be a schedule? Is there gonna be a meet-the-artist sort of thing? I've never been to a workshop before , ever.

[cesmls]

Will there be any scholarships available? Or lower prices who are verified students?

And remember - it says UK, not England. So it could be in one of a variety of countries.
