TeesToons ARC comic course.

ARC_TeesToonsA whole week of comic making at ARC in Stockton is now behind us and it was a great week indeed for all involved!

The participants gave it their very best and were overflowing with interest and enthusiasm for the ‘comic’ – and I do hope that they keep it up for years to come!

Many thanks to all for a very inspiring week, Ingi.

Junction Farm Primary School

We’ve just finished a very pleasant 6 weeks course at Junction Farm Primary School in Eaglescliffe, organized by Club Creative.  The kids were extremely enthusiastic about creating cartoons and comics and did some most excellent work.

You keep it up guys!

Parmo Sam, do you know the man?

Check out ‘your’ local Teesside hero, Parmo Sam!
Created by TeesToons scriptwriter, Dean Wilkinson and illustrated by the talented cartoonist, Nik Holmes.
These two Barwickians care that much about ‘our’ local delicacy that they have decided to dedicate their life to it and not eat anything else until they’ve managed to make Parmo Sam a household name in Teesside and the rest of the world…
Now that’s commitment!

Wacky Westlands #2 in the making!

The boys at Westlands school in Thornaby are giving it their comic-best and returning with a new Wacky Westlands in a couple of weeks.
There are 2 more sittings to go, and by the looks of it we’re going to be blown away, yet again, by their humour and creativity.
Keep up the good work, lads!

Wacky time at Westlands!

Wacky Westlands Annual

Q: What has 4 wheels and flies? (answer below)

Last Wednesday we finish our first course of two at Westlands in Thornaby. The boys did extremely well and surprised us with their talent and commitment. Making a comic is no easy task, but they stuck it out and showed us that the boys at Westlands can make a comic if they just put their mind to it – excellent work lads!

We’ve put all their hard work in a Comic-magazine, to be distributed within the school, which they voted to call; Wacky Westlands Annual – and as the name implies, the boys have committed themselves, so we can look forward to annual annuals at Westlands ;-)
