Team work colouring our graphic novel: John is flatting in Clip Studio Paint, then we export files to Photoshop, convert them to CMYK (with no K in the colour mix except for the line art), before I colour and shade.

Thanks @AlnessLanguages for inviting us. Had a great time!
A massive thank you to Sandra and John @metaphrog for their session on Comic writing with our S2 pupils and for being a part of our first P7 Transition event. Looking forward to all the comic writing next week.

This is very sad. Wondering how much of this has been exacerbated by the pandemic, with kids not being in school and taking the habit of using screens a lot more at a critical point in their life. Thankfully comics are here ti help: more and more kids are reading them.

This is awful news. If I might suggest from the comics side of things, however, you do see that when you show children how to create their own comics, and they then ✨realise all the stories of their own that they can tell✨ it really empowers them and ignites a thirst for more.

Can 100% throw my hat behind this & categorically state that these collaborations really do reach new readers, create more excited fan bases and produce reoccurring stock purchases. It’s one of the most wonderful partnerships in the library space! ✨🖤✨

Exciting!
Huge congratulations to @merrowchild and @sarahmaxwellart on the publication of PHANTOM HEARTS, the spooky, sapphic graphic novel of your dreams 💜 When a school bus crashes, killing the students on board, Malia and Keezy must work together to discover the truth...

Something amazing happened! Monday morning we posted on Insta about our struggle to find Staedtler blue lead nibs in the UK. We had managed to get a few online, but it looked like after that there were none left anywhere online in the UK

(amazon EU still seem to sell the 2mm ones, but for how long ?). Staedtler UK actually DMed us straight away, apologising they had discontinued the line, but said they had some left kicking about in their office if we wanted them. Two days later (so just now) a box arrived

through the mail, first class signed for, full of Staedtler Mars Lumochrom 2mm blue lead nibs and also some 0.5 ones, PLUS two complimentary pen holders! This made our day! What an amazing thing to do. There is still kindness left in this world. Thank you so much Staedtler UK!
