ISH Comics Club Comics Jam: Squid's Evil Plan, Part 1

Here is a spectacular Comics Jam by the Intermediate group of the International School Hamburg's Comics Club which I run each Wednesday.

Each artist had to fill in the next panel. We brainstormed the first panel together. The focus wasn't on the art but rather the story and seeing how crazy it would get collaborating together.

We rolled a dice to see who went in what order we would go in. There were special panels, if artists landed on that panel they would roll a disc and have to work a numbered prop into the story.

Click on the first image to go through the Story and follow the adventures of Timmy (The ISH mascot) Squid, Ear Space Ear and Pirate Batman.

The props were:
A fake Ear
A toy Car
A pirate Batman Figure

This story continues in an incredible fashion the following week. Will post it up next week. Stay tuned!

Book Week: International School Hamburg

This week I had a blast running illustration workshops for the International School Hamburg as part of their book week. 

Kids from grade 3 to grade 7 took part in a total of 12 sessions of 3 days! (over 200 kids!)

All the kids and I had a blast. A huge thanks to all the teachers and people who made it all possible. And of course a big shout out to all the kids who created some fantastic characters!

Here are some photos taken by the Junior School principal Suzan Weisolf, more photos coming soon.

Having a chat about illustration

After a few years of teaching you learn to draw upside down ;)

The kids all pitch in their ideas.

The character the kids came up with is complete! BEAUTIFUL!

We all draw together step by step
