Arts Council funding

In October 2023, I received a National Lottery Project Grant from Arts Council England, the national development agency for creativity and culture, to produce an original 110-page graphic novel and deliver free comic-making workshops for 8-11s in Gloucester.

In addition to providing children with free comics and storytelling resources to help develop their skills and creativity, this project is a major step forward for me as a creator. Thanks to this grant, Afterlife Inc. Volume 7 will finally be a reality. This is a fantastic opportunity to push myself creatively while supporting both artists and young people at the start of their creative journey.

Throughout 2024, I will be working hard to deliver this project, supported by Gloucester Culture Trust, Jolt Studios, participating schools and my amazing team of artists. This page will be updated regularly to track progress and provide useful resources for comic creators (and other creatives) considering an application for Arts Council funding. More news coming soon!
