screen print & etching workshop

A catch-up comic on the Screen Print and Etching workshops the interns received from londonprintstudio's print maestro Paul, with help from Marco! Merlin is now working on etching her comic pages for her anthology submission! Thanks very much to Paul and Marco...we are looking forward to making more screen print & etching work in the studio with them soon in the new year.

Here's how my screenprints and etchings came out...the other interns may add their prints later...:

The interns are back from Brussels, and working hard once again today on getting ready for exciting workshops and, of course, preparing our Parallel Lives anthology. A blog entry on our trip will be coming soon!

In the meantime, check it out, Jade's guest blog on the Laydeez Do Comics site is now online for your viewing pleasure. This here is the short version, you can read the extended version on the LDC blog.

Strip Turnhout

Just a quick post to let everyone know that the interns are nipping out of the country this weekend to attend Strip Turnhout! Karrie Fransman is a guest of the event, and the interns will be at a table with an activity you can take part in if you come along: The never ending comic!
Want to know more? You better come to Strip Turnhout then! (Or if you can't make it, don't worry, we'll be doing a writeup after the weekend.)
We'll be in Brussels for the weekend to visit various places (TINTIN MUSEUM GAH I'M RATHER EXCITED) thanks to the project funders, so we hope to get a lot of great inspiration there and come back to make some awesome comics for the anthology!

Look forward to our report next week!

Also I recently attended December's Laydeez Do Comics meeting and, like Shamisa last month, was asked to do the blog report on that, so I'll upload that here once the lovely ladies over at the LDC blog have posted it there. Look forward to that too!

Another post about the awesome Shamisa!!! 

This time round she did a sweet comic about her visit to Laydees Do Comics meeting...! Here's her sincere comment from her blog entry:

"Laydees Do Comics, has helped me a lot since I have been here in London. Yes, it has to be said, the Brits are kind and lovely people. Many thanks to Nicola and Sarah, Karrie Fransman, Paul Gravett and Ellen Lindner, for welcoming me to the UK comic world in this way."
