Friday Night Mashup, Titanic Belfast

02:30 Brian John Spencer 0 Comments

On Friday 29 I had the opportunity to do live drawing at Belfast's inaugural Friday Night Mashup, held at the Titanic Pump House in Belfast. Clair Weir covered the event in the Telegraph here. She said:
"It's a networking event with a difference and there isn't a pinstripe in sight. Northern Ireland's bright new tech start-ups and potential funders now have a new way in which to meet, mingle and hopefully, make money. 
The Friday Night Mash-up is run by entrepreneurs for entrepreneurs and provides a great opportunity to meet with other big thinkers, tech enthusiasts, investors and media."

I meet the two characters above in the John Hewitt in person. They're both musicians in an traditional Irish band, The Buck Mad Bhoys. Above and below are some promotional cartoons I did for them in my Live Drawing style. You can also see my individual caricatures each of the two below.
