I had such a great day on Saturday taking part in a comic making workshop as part of the Secret Agent Themed Season at Discover Children’s Story Centre in Stratford, East London on Saturday.
Sunday would see the skills of Sarah McIntyre, Gary Northfield and Alex Milway assisting any kids up to the mission of making fantastic comics and characters. Saturday however, the crack team of agents consisted of (left – right) myself, David O’Connell (who organised the day perfectly and created some brilliant worksheets), Laura Ellen Anderson and Jamie Littler.
David (above) drew a fantastically evil scientist (below). My secret agent was called upon to sort him out! 
Here’s Laura wowing kids with her drawing talents…
This was definitely a highlight of the day for me – Laura and David having an improptu Tadpole Attack Squad draw off. It was a fierce battle!
When I heard that Laura had an octopus character in her Phoenix comic strip Evil Emperor Penguin, we had to have an Octopus draw off too! Was amazed at Laura’s unplanned linework – so good!
Some more Secret Agent themed art by Laura, myself and visitors to Discover…
Jamie did a mind-blowingly good take on the evil inventor including a Laser Shark!
Hmmm… Well, you try drawing Scooby-Doo without any reference then! I had to explain to the girl who asked for this who Scrappy-Doo is. Kids today, eh?!
Finally here’s a secret message, written using David O’Connell’s secret code!
So good to work with David, Laura and Jamie and especially at such a special place as Discover!
