About this Event
If there’s one thing more fun than making comics, it’s making comics TOGETHER - sharing ideas and jokes with friends and family and drawing fun stuff to make each other laugh. This workshop explores the joy of collaboration in comics, with Neill Cameron (creator of Mega Robo Bros and Donut Squad) and Logan Cameron (writer of The Villinoos in the Phoenix). WARNING, may contain robots, aliens, donuts and / or bagels.
Neill Cameron is a cartoonist and writer, creator of the graphic novel series Mega Robo Bros, the Freddy VS School illustrated novels, and frequent contributor to weekly children’s comic The Phoenix. In 2016 Mega Robo Bros and Tamsin and the Deep were both shortlisted for the British Comics Awards. In 2017, Mega Robo Bros won the Excelsior Award Jr, a national comic award voted for by school and library reading groups across the UK. In 2018 Mega Robo Bros was chosen as one of the best children's comics of the year by both the New York Public Library and the Schools Library Journal.
Neill is a former artist-in-residence at The Story Museum in Oxford, where he contributed several large-scale comic strip installations and continues to be involved in comics-based education and activities, including curating the exhibition KABOOM: The Art of Creating Comics in 2023, and running a monthly Comics Club group for young cartoonists.
Neill frequently travels the country giving workshops in schools, libraries and at festivals, and is a passionate advocate for the role comics can play in developing literacy skills and encouraging children’s creativity.
The workshop will last for approx. 45 minutes, from 3-3:45pm.
This event is for children aged 7-14 years old. Children can be left at the workshop, but carers must stay in the building during the workshop.
