End of Year 1

Year 1

Cartoon and Comic Arts finally made it through is first year as award and I must say that over all we are flying high. To celebrate the end of the year along with Graphic Design and Illustration students we had a little bit of an award ceremony.

The Cartoon and Comic Arts students met for a quick wine before proceddings atarted in teh Flaxman Foyer. Ther Main Event was in the Film Theatre along College Road.

There was quiet a good turn out all in all and the Masters of the ceremonies enjoy a drink and a little banter with the students gathered.

In fact one could say they enjoyed the refreshments a little too much.

By now the C&CA students were well lubricated and had found one of their favourite pass times. Sitting on the Sofa.

First up for award was the best excuse for not handing in work, Jamielea Jones, who was making a pasty for her project and when returened to the kitchen found "The Dog had eaten it Sir!" A likely story!!

Cartoon and Comic Arts Trips

Manchester 2012

Recently the Cartoon and Comic Cohort along with Illustration and Graphic Design students headed off into the depths of Manchester to see the delights of the rain drenched town.

Above is the Gang on their own getting lost around Piccadilly, below the gang with Graphics and Illustration Students from Staffordshire University.

Needless to say, you let cartoonist out of the studio and they act.....like cartoonists!

Our first aim was to discover all the comic shops we could, John Hudson had recommended Magma Books, if only he knew what was around the corner and across the way from this shop.

£100 lighter I finally emerged from the depths of the vast comic libraries load with books and comics and headed off to Media City

While there we discovered Daleks, who apprehended me.....

But I managed to escape in the Tardis!
