I’m running a Comics Workshop at the brilliant Gnash Comics in Ashburton on Monday 24 October. Come along and create your own spooky Halloween character to star in your own comic story! Click here to book your place!

Back to one of my favourite venues this month 🙂 Here’s what we got up to this time!

Thank you to Shawn Harris and Mac Barnett for the uncopyrighted background music! The First Cat in Space Ate Pizza is available from all good book shops now!!!

Hi! Has been a long time of quiet! Apologies for radio silence, I was hoping to get time to put up some more creative tutorials but in between making an animation and putting together my first kids’ picture book it just hasnt happened 😦

BUT here’s a great activity for kids and grownups alike! A free downloadable app that helps you create your own zine (short for magazine, have a look here if you want more info)

And here’s a blog post for teachers by Scholastic about making zines and improving literacy

I’m definitely going to have a go at this myself, and with an online group I run. Here are a few pics to inspire you!

I hope everyone’s getting their making mojo on for Halloween??!!

I love this animation we made at Acorns Children’s Hospice in Selly Oak Birmingham. All conceived and made by life-limited and profoundly disabled kids and their carers. I think my favourite is the very bonkers-looking cat…

Have a look and then why not make your own 3D animation to spook your friends and family? See the free download at the end of this post!
