It’s been a busy but fun time lately running loads of comic workshops.
I’ve started a project through Apples and Snakes. Poet and writer Inua Ellams and I are working with pupils of City of London Academy and Highbury Fields School, both in Islington. We’re developing a poem and a story that will be visualised and turned into a printed booklet.
We’ve got a few sessions to go and so far the children’s work looks extremely promising…
Here’s some great characters designed as a warm up for the City of London Academy kids..
Next up was last Tuesday’s half term holiday workshop at Walthamstow Library. Here’s some more character designs from them…
That last one also includes a happy cat character I asked the kids to create, alongside some other possibilities…
Next up, was a fabulous visit to the lovely Higham Hill Library…
These children learnt how to craft comics and told some fantastic stories…
Finally I made a return visit to the fantastic Cartoon Museum, which has this wonderful space to teach…
Visiting the museum on the day were the Crystal Palace Community Development Trust (Art Group). The teenagers had lots of emerging talent which they used in my Manga workshop…
Phew! Lots more workshops to come soon…
