Where do you live?: Furness Vale, Derbyshire

What comics do you create?: TeenWitch

Which comic creators do you admire?: Guess lots of kids creators - Leo Baxendale, David Law, then Richard Scarry, John Ryan and Janet Ahlberg who are childrens book illustrators.
More Grown-up stuff - Johnny Ryan, Chris Ware, Herge, Crumb, Clowes, Satrapi and all the obvious quality stuff.

Which comics do you read?: I try to make sure I read 'proper books' every now and then, but loving all the classic reissues (Popeye, Dick Tracy etc), and enjoying the immense Milton Caniff biography by Robert C Harvey.

About Me:: Run comics workshops with kids, teenagers and adults, in schools and galleries. Would be interested in finding out if anyone else does any comics teaching.

Glad you like the comic,... I'm hoping to get chapter 2 done this year, but i might get side tracked... sometimes the live commisions come first... anyway- it's thumbnailed out at the very least... >_< haha

Yeah, I'd love to, thought I'd missed the deadline so didn't send you anything in the end. Will be able to send you something in a couple of weeks though - is this finished copies?

At 7:51pm on 16th May 2008, naniiebim said…: Hi Jim, Yeah, would be nice to help out during your workshop- I'd like as few surprises as possible!! [although workshops are always surprises... sigh]

At 8:21pm on 14th May 2008, naniiebim said…: Ummm, Yes, I have done the occasional workshop for various reasons lol. I had a few drawing ones [supposedly for manga, but really just for basic drawing] last year with a museum in places in south yorkshire. and another in Rugby- both times I was backing up an archeologist lol [he'd talk in great detail, and I'd try and draw things at the speed he was talking at...] Sally asked me to do a manga drawing/kids book workshop in July at the Whitworth and I was just going through the members here, and your name and the description clicked ;) so i thought I say hi, and ask- are workshops scary?? lol

At 12:43pm on 14th May 2008, naniiebim said…: Hmm, just talked to someone today who just mentioned your name, are you doing some workshops at the thewhitworth in a few months time? ;)

At 12:59am on 24th April 2008, Toby Rushton said…: Hey, great meeting you at the drink and draw! Had a good night!
