I'm very lucky to be working with the brilliant Kids Company charity up in London on several projects in the near future - I'll be running comic art workshops in schools across the capital, as well as developing illustration / animation work for the revamp of their website, and working with arts psychotherapists to create a Getting To Know Yourself activity book. www.kidsco.org.uk

I'm also very excited about working with the children's charity NCH running workshops in August and September across the UK with their clients - young adults and children, on comic artwork for an amazing exhibition. www.nch.org.uk

latest news

The Crazy Comic Club is featured in an interview with Brighton Rocks green newspaper this month.

I've been asked to curate a second one day project culminating in a multimedia perforance at Falmer High School in July involving large scale illustration, oral narration, printed comics, animation and drama. These projects are very ambitious and unique - working within a tight time-frame to a brief which requires maximum creative input from the students.

Anyone between 11 - 18 is welcome to come to East Grinstead library 9th April. I'll be holding some groovy workshops all day which will focus on manga style comic art.

I'm starting to finalise the Summer 'tour' for The Crazy Comic Club. Full list of dates and events coming soon...

Welcome to the diary! Crazy Comic Club is very busy at the moment - my after school clubs in Brighton are full to bursting - please email me if you're interested in finding out about times and places - info@crazycomicclub.co.uk

I'm currently working very closely with Falmer High School. At Mac's Place, their young persons advice centre, I've been facilitating workshops that cover issues such as domestic violence, drug and alcohol abuse, and healthy eating. In a few weeks I'm coordinating a large one day project involving cartoonists, illustrators, animators, drama and storytellers. We'll be working with all the year 7 students to create a narrated performance for the parents with illustrations and animation based around the theme of stories and storytelling.

Also coming up soon, I'm visiting Charing Primary School in Kent to create comics with the pupils based around acts of kindness. I'm looking forward to visiting as its just up the road from where I was born!

Half term was busy too - I ran successful workshops at Burgess Hill and Southwick library, and The Pottery Cafe in Portslade.

I'm also planning another packed Summer touring arts and music festivals.
