About this Event
Local comic writer and artist, Colin Maxwell, offers some tips on telling stories visually. You’ll get some hands-on practise drawing characters and short comic strips, and an opportunity to pick Colin’s brain about his work on comics such as Commando and The Dunfermline Story. Open to everyone over the age of 12.
Colin Maxwell has recently been announced as a Scots Language Publication Awardee and for Outwith leads a workshop in which he shares his top tips for creating comic strips. Colin's project, The Dunfermline Story, is a comic book in Scots language celebrating Dunfermline's new status as a City (2022) and commemorating the 400th anniversary of the great fire of Dunfermline (2024). Featuring the artwork of many artists, the book will start at the time of King Malcom III and Queen Margaret, and cover significant people and events in the city, including the linen industry, Andrew Carnegie, Robert the Bruce, Dunfermline Athletic Football Club, the Great Fire of 1624, and modern day celebrities such as Barbara Dickson, Ncuti Gatwa and Big Country.
Colin's imprint Maximized Comics has been an independent publisher of comics since 2014, creating comics in multiple genres, but specialising in historical stories and characters.
