I'm glad I have a lot of Romeo and Juliet pages to show for September, cos it's not been a busy month for Comic Art Masterclasses. Just three days of classes, but by golly what good ones.
Talk about September being quiet, these two comics made by kids at two sellout classes in Shoreham were actually from August. It was one of those days where anything that could go wrong did go wrong. First we'd got the timings wrong. The classes were advertised as one hour long, but of course they're two hours long. Luckily I spotted this and all punters were given a day's notice. The fault had come when, it being a return booking, I'd told Ropetackle Arts Centre to just repeat last year's detail. The trouble with that? We'd got it wrong last year too. Oops. Then the photocopier didn't work so the morning group didn't get a comic. Finally I'd quoted them the wrong amount so short changed myself despite both classes selling out. Well done me.
Another return booking, and a very prestigious one, I got invited back to Chiswick Book Festival. Two excellent classes, after which the parents bought lots of books. Smashing.
Winding up September's brief pair of classes, I did two libraries in one day in Rotherham. Nice.
The celebrities these 6 groups chose to star in my demonstration strips were Paul McCartney, Michael Jackson, Jack Black, Taylor Swift, Ronaldo and Beyonce.
