Ingi will be at the Canny Comic Con in Newcastle 10th December

The Canny Comic Con is a little festival of comics and sequential art. It will be held at Newcastle City Library all day on Saturday 10th December 2011.

Comics, comic strips, comic books, graphic novels, manga, sequential art – however you want to refer to it, the CCC wants to celebrate everything about telling stories in pictures. Whilst it won’t be on the same scale as some of the bigger UK comic conventions, we’re going to have a full range of activities, including: talks and panel discussions, workshops, and a hall of stalls where you can meet some of the finest comic-creating talent from the region and beyond.

Whatever your age or experience, whether you read comics, make comics, or are just interested to know a little more, we hope to have something to interest you.
Entry to the CCC will be FREE. That’s right, no charge. You don’t need to book tickets, you don’t need to pay us anything. Come along and support the biggest comic event to be held in the North East for over fifteen years.

After School Club with the Main Project kids at Grangetown Youth Centre

Our Monsters were on the menu for the younger ones and the older drew Manga characters. That bloke with the cap and orange t-shirt is a brilliant illustration of Ingi by Lucas.

Mr Miraculous at California Youth Centre

Mr Miraculous is going to work with the kids at the California Youth Centre this coming weekend.

Evening with the local Round Table lads.

A local branch of the Round Table asked us to come to one of their meetings to introduce TeesToons and give them a crash-course in cartooning.

Needless to say the boys did well and though we’re more accustomed to working with younger lads, the age difference wasn’t showing in their enthusiasm, concentration and finished drawings. Good work all!

Everyone can make a mini comic, and it only needs one piece of paper! So come along, all ages & drawing styles welcome – no formal charge but a small donation is appreciated for the use of the building and the photocopier.

Everyone’s finished mini comics will be photocopied and shared around, so all you have to do is draw one, and you might end up going home with 50!

April 9th, 2011 is the date for the first annual Mini-Comics Day, celebrating the art of cartooning and creating hand-made comic books.

On Mini-Comics Day, participating cartoonists from around the world will write, draw, and print copies of a mini-comic, completing the entire process from start to finish in a day or less. Anyone in the world can participate.

Mini-comics have been democratizing the art of making comic books since the 70′s or earlier… with the popularization of photocopiers, it became apparent that anyone with an inclination and some spare change could print a little comic book. Wildly varying in both form and content, mini-comics are a wonderful synthesis of cartooning and hand-made art objects.

Main Project at California Youth Centre

Ingi spent Saturday at the California Youth Center is Eston, via Club Creative, teaching two groups from the Main Project how to draw monsters and come up with their own cartoon characters.

The kids were very creative and great fun to work with!

Doc.Ewill and Frankfurter’s Monster Maze!!

Click on Image, download and print out!

Please feel free to download and print this Monster Maze and help Frankfurter the CatDog find Doc Ewill’s brainjar.

Doc lost it as he was wandering this horrible monster maze so he sent Frankfurter to fetch it for him …because he’s too scared to do it himself, not that he’ll admit it.

Doc Ewill and Frankfurter are characters from TeesToons Monster drawing course.

Manga at Hemlington Hall Primary

The kids at Hemlington Hall Primary are very lucky pupils, or so we think here at TeesToons. Not just because WE are doing a Manga drawing course at their school, but because they’ve got brilliant teachers that are bringing comic making into the classroom in relation to their exploration of Japanese culture. It makes us want to be young again and join in.
