Had a great time yesterday traveling to the lovely town of Ashburton in Devon.
I find long train journies great to work on, and had time to finish a script Paul Shinn will be drawing for the upcoming Tempo Lush Tales, plus some work on a project for Titan Comics and then a blog about the making of Lucy the Octopus. All coming soon!
Anyway, the real reason for the trip was to run a couple of comics workshops at Gnash Comics, an absolutely fantastic shop with a great set up and mix of goodies.
Pleased to say that Tempo Lush comics are now on sale there too!
The first workshop saw a wonderful bunch of local kids developing fabulous story ideas, like this…
The second workshop saw the turn of the grown-ups! Some of them pictured below – Maybe there are signs I worked them too hard.
We did some fun work on story development and thumb-nailing towards finished comic pages. There was a lot of talent on show…
One of the most satisfying parts of the trip was the fact that adult workshoppers made plans to meet regularly and talk comic making. Hope big things grow from that!
