This week Quick Draw Stories visited a local Primary School. Year 3 had been studying the ancient Egyptians and so the workshop involved mummies, pharaohs and one giant pyramid! Quick Draw Stories is a small project run by me and Mark Pembrey, we bring comic, picture-book and storytelling sessions to schools around South London. #school #primaryschool #artists #illustrators #artistsinschools #storytelling #london #surrey #drawing #draw #art #comics

This week me and Mark Pembrey led a comic making workshop at Chillout Zone holiday club in Twickenham. We started by discussing the storytelling tricks used in comics (such as character, captions and layout) before creating a few of our own. The workshop concluded with groups making a some amazing giant comics, featuring lovesick unicorns and sulky turtles! Mark Pembrey works for the Alligators Mouth Children's Bookshop where he runs a wonderful monthly comicbook club for kid
