The rewarding thing about cartooning is that it’s completely yours… you can express your ideas any time you like! I started creating comics the moment I discovered they existed, and I still create with the same childhood joy. I’ll take you through my cartooning journey, and show some of the techniques that help me produce the comics strips and graphic novels I make today. Plus I’ll reveal a sneak peek at the upcoming Pluto Rocket book 2!
