Opportunities for Young Cartoonists

I’ve recently been made aware of a couple of oppor­tun­it­ies for young car­toon­ists that look exciting.

Firstly, there is the Graphic Novel course run by the Arvon Found­a­tion. The course tutors are Bryan Tal­bot, Han­nah Berry and Katie Green. This is a res­id­en­tial course, so it can get kinda pricy, so they encour­age people to apply for a grant to help lighten the load. The course is run in rural shrop­shire and runs from the 17th until the 22nd Octo­ber. Cer­tainly worth apply­ing for.

The second is that the Lon­don Print Stu­dio is offer­ing internships;

• Receive ment­or­ing from top pro­fes­sional comic artists, antho­logy makers, screen­writers, comic pub­lish­ers, print makers and art educators.
• Run comic work­shops for 16–20 year olds.
• Develop your own artistic comic pro­jects with super­vi­sion from ment­ors and feed­back from your fel­low interns.
• Be intro­duced to the Lon­don comic scene, attend events, give present­a­tions, net­work and meet pub­lish­ers, edit­ors and cre­at­ors in the comic industry.
• Take part in edit­ing, plan­ning and cre­at­ing work for a comic antho­logy pub­lic­a­tion and a comic exhib­i­tion at lon­donprintstu­dio
