What a week! 🤩 The "60 Miles presents: Community Comics" exhibition was launched 🥳 The book appeared on @itvnews and @BBCNews! 📺 But the best thing was seeing so many different people in the same room, looking at their comic and reading the stories of the others🥰 #comics

The last step in creating the @60MilesNN comic book anthology was to design the #cover, in collaboration with our Graphic Designer, Sophie Dutton 🎨 It shows the participants “building” a page by bringing their stories into the panels: exactly what happened during the sessions😉

Another lovely aspect of working on the @60MilesNN comic book anthology was my role as Editor which meant reading the #storyboards of the other 5 artists and offering some advice to make everyone’s already great #comics even better! 💬🧡 This project is funded by @HeritageFundUK
