A smashing week of Comic Art Masterclasses in Northern Irish art centres, as has become a bit of an annual tradition for me. As before, the costs of travel and accommodation get out of control and I always say I should charge more, and as before I don’t bring enough books to sell. Though this year I sold more than ever before (see this blog) so I must be doing something right
Ards Arts in Newtownards has a statue outside of Paddy Mayne from SAS Rogue Heroes, which I hadn’t known in my previous visits. Two grand sellout classes, at I think 8 quid a ticket.
Ardhowen in Enniskillen feels like the one I’ve been to most. Two great classes, two of my favourite covers of the week.
Strule Omagh sadly fared worst on ticket sales, with 15 in the morning class but only three turning up for the afternoon. But what great comics, eh?
The celebrities these eight groups chose to appear in my demonstration strips were Taylor Swift (twice), Mr Beast (three times), Jack Black (twice), and Cristiano Ronaldo.
