Last night was Press night. We arrived early to get everything set up and ready for the arrival of the official photographers.
An outdoor broadcast unit from BBC Look North parked up alongside our tent and by the time it was dark they were joined by several other groups of photographers, cameramen and interviewers all wanting to film, take photos and find out about the Tagtool. This photo shows Jörg Steffke who is documenting the whole of the Wall of Light projections for O.M.A. International.
Everyone was captivated by Luca’s beautiful (and apparently effortless) calligraphy!
The photo above shows the introductory drawing for the festival press night that he created with Maki and Iink.
At times there were so many people gathered round them that they could hardly see the Multangular Tower and what they were drawing.
Once the press people had gone we did some more drawing together, just for fun and some of the people who had come to find out what was happening also ‘had a go’.
I think that the expressions on the faces of these three lads conveys much better than words what fun it is to draw with the Tagtool!
