My week of Comic Art Masterclasses in Ireland, which began in Finglas and Tallaght, continued in County Kerry (a three and a half hour drive each way, which you needn't bother yourself about), then back to Dublin for two more days.
St Pauls CBS in Dublin is one that's not had me back for a few years, and it was great to be back there too. The kids came up with some of the most inspiring ideas for their comic titles, which gave me some fun drawing to do.
The final day of the five day tour was James St CBS, which I was visiting for the first time. This was a perfect end to the week as, as well as having time to draw a nice flipchart for them (below), and them being a couple of lovely primary school classes for a change (the rest of the week all being First and Second Years, who are fine, but a different and sometimes more difficult audience), this was also the school where the librarian said "I'll take ten books" and I only had nine left. Result. (As documented here, I brought 20 copies of Richard The Third over with me, and didn't know whether I'd sell them all. I did.)
The celebrities these six groups chose to appear in my demonstration strip were Michael Jackson, LeBron James, Albert Einstein, Adam Sandler, Cristiano Ronaldo and Emma Watson.
