His enthusiastic subjects were quickly coming up with some imaginative ideas and by the end of the sessions, the boys had managed to produce their own piece of work which was compiled into a comic for the school.

Students said the workshop ‘was funny and Kev taught us how to draw characters’. They all found it ‘amazing and absolutely fantastic!’
