Mr Miraculous is going to work with the kids at the California Youth Centre this coming weekend.
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! 
  
Ingi will be taking part in the Mini Comics Day at the The Star And Shadow Cinema in Newcastle this coming Saturday – 9th of April.
The event is open to all who love comics – in any shape or form – so if you want to show up and do your first comic ever – there will be many helping hands around! – See you there!

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.
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!

 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.
 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.

Since we’re all about Monsters lately we would like to point our followers to Aidan’s Monster drawings.
Aidan’s story: On September 13, 2010 he was diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL). He was strong and pulled through his first round of chemo all while teasing his nurses and vistors. Although this was a small victory Aidan, unfortunately, must go through 2 to 3 more years of chemo treatments and everything that goes along with that.
To help with financing his treatment, Aidan and his folks have set up a store with his Monster drawings – please go and check them out!
The creative kids at St Mary’s in Long Newton have been helping Doctor Ewill come up with some great monsters. We’ve seen monsters that shoot slime and horrible creepy crawlies that would scare Frankenstein himself! After half term we will continue our Monster Madness and see what Doctor Ewill will come up with next!!
