Excelsior!

Have you been inspired by recent library lessons? Are you a DC devotee or a Marvel maniac?

If so you might want to pop in to the library very soon to participate in this year’s Excelsior awards.
There are 8 great titles in the Senior Category and 5 in the Junior section.
How many you choose to read is up to you.

How do I get involved?

    All you have to do is read one of the books or two of the books or all of the books – how many is purely up to you. And with choices from Darth Vader to Dr Who to Oddly Normal and Ant Man there really is something for everyone (even a wee bitty o Manga for the back to front gang).

    So whether you only read comics or have never read comics – come in and take part.

Comic Clinic with Metaphrog

Leave a reply

As part of our Unmasked project we met up with our counterparts from Woodfarm and our experts Glasgow graphic artists Metaphrog.

The lecture theatre was awash with creativity as our groups moulded and developed their stories guided by our knowledgable guests.

Questions on storyboarding, drawing, setting scenes and creating effective dialogue were all answered with a flourish.

I am sorry to say that this is the last time we will be meeting with John and Sandra; AKA Metaphrog but they have promised to keep in touch and answer any questions we might have. In return I have promised them a copy of our finished work.

A great day and thanks to everyone who put in so much effort… keep up the great work and many thanks to the Scottish Book Trust for helping us fund this brilliant event.
