Glasgow Life Comic Commission
We have been working on a very exciting project over the past few months: Glasgow Life commissioned us to create a short comic story.
The Photographs is an artistic response to a series of graphic novel workshops we carried out in Glasgow during 2010.
Some of these workshops were with senior groups in day care centres, others were with a group of teenagers in a drop in center in the east end.
As part of the project, we also did a short talk about The Photographs at the Growing Bolder Intergenerational Art Festival for Glasgow's Active Ageing Week 2011. The event took place at the CCA in Glasgow on June 7th. The Photographs is being launched at the Growing Bolder's Arty Party on June 10th.
The Photographs is a full colour A6 booklet.
