The Flyaway Pants - comics by kids

More travels with my art, this time from Bristol to London to Ellesmere Port. Quite the variety of groups and students, all with impressive end results.

Zion Arts Centre in Bristol is fun, cos it's not far too travel so I was able to take a gamble on doing the event on a doorsplit. It worked out fine, and had a good two groups of grateful artists having a fun time in their Easter hols. Even without a photocopier, so no comic to take away in their hands, the kids were happy. They get these coloured versions of the cover emailed to them after the event.

Arts Depot in Finchley's Book Buzz event only had enough time for me to run one class, but what a good one it was. I've done classes with Arts Depot before, but only on Zoom, so it was quite a revelation to see this vast four-storey arts centre in the middle of busy Finchley. I drove down from Newcastle the night before, where the Socks had been playing.

Another long drive took me up to Cheshire College in Ellesmere Port, where I was working with older students with a variety of educational needs. As always, some excllenet ideas and impressive results from them.

The celebrities these five groups chose to appear in my demonstration strips were King Charles, Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson, Barack Obama, Ryan Reynolds, and Mike Myers (though the person the student actually wanted was Michael Myers from the Halloween films).
