POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

🎉 We’re thrilled to announce our next guest for Barrow Does Comics on Saturday 18th April, where comic artists from around the world will be taking over town centre venues with workshops, signings, panels and more!

@sarahjdocker is a proud Barrovian, as well as a talented book illustrator and writer. She’s also the artist behind last year’s @barrowfull Festival of Colours mural. This year, the Festival of Colours will be taking place alongside Barrow Does Comics on the very same day - bringing even more colour and creativity to the town!

🎨 Sarah will be hosting a hands on workshop at @thederbybarrow, in The Lounge. This beautiful space, available for private hire for everything from parties and christenings to work meetings and conferences (or comic events!), is the perfect cosy setting to learn from Sarah as she shares her process of creating storyboards and turning text into illustration.

👀 We’ve left a signed copy of one of Sarah’s books at The Derby, and one lucky customer will be chosen to receive it today! Head down to The Derby to see if it’ll be you.

A massive thank you to The Derby for being one of our incredible event sponsors.

@barrowdoescomics is brought to you by Barrow BID, @lakesinternationalcomics and @aceagrams.

This little story has been in my mind for quite a while and I’m excited to tell you it’ll be coming out in September 📖🍁. So here’s a sneak peak at the title art and the actual tree that inspired the idea!
