WORKSHOPS
My courses are specially shaped to nurture and develop your personal ideas, and comic skills and to help you create the foundations of a brilliant comic or graphic novel.
I have been teaching workshops in making visual narratives, for over 7 years at the Quentin Blake Centre of Illustration, The Arvon, Anglia Ruskin, City Lit, the Art Academy, The Cartoon Museum, UCL and at LDC Residencies.
I was also a Subject Leader and art teacher in secondary school for 16 years. All of these combined with over 30 years experience as an established and acclaimed cartoonist puts me in a unique position to be able to help my students realise their best potential.
