I had a recent contract for the National Literacy Trust where I was asked to give art seminars are Lawrence Jackson school in Guisborough, teaching about graphic novels and illustration, with Dungeons and Dragons as the theme. (Client request)

The children’s abilities were pretty limited for the most part, so instead of trying to get them to create something entirely on their own, I had them rough out a short story for a comic in groups, after which I would take their drawings and suggestions and turn them into short comics.

Each comic features the kids’ originally drawings on the front. It took a silly amount of time and turned a very well paid job into a very poorly paid one, but I wanted to make the kid’s day, so it was worth it…. kind of.
