Kev F Sutherland writes and draws for Beano, Doctor Who and Marvel comics, and makes graphic novels adapted from Shakespeare, and now he'll teach you how easy it is. After the end of a Comic Art Masterclass, everyone goes away with a comic containing a strip by everyone in the class plus an individual caricature by Kev F.
Who is Kev F Sutherland?
Kev F Sutherland has written and drawn comic strips for everyone from The Beano to Marvel Comics, from Doctor Who to Viz magazine, and most points inbetween.
His debut graphic novels adapt Shakespeare with a twist: Findlay Macbeth is a salesman in 1970s Scotland, Hamlet Prince Of Denmark Street is in a punk rock band, and The Midsummer Night’s Dream Team takes Shakespeare’s comedy and turns it into a heist movie. Since 2021 he has published a series of Pop Star Colouring Books, with illustrations and articles on everything from Eurovision and Punk to David Bowie and Rom Coms.
He also teaches his legendary Comic Art Masterclass to school pupils. In a little over two hours he sends every child home with a comic containing a comic strip by everyone in the class, and an individual caricature, showing them how easy comics can be, so they can leave school and steal his job.
This is a Parent and Child event and a Parent or Guardian must stay with the child for the duration of the activity.
