Description
Ian Williams is a comics artist, physician and writer, now living in Brighton. He has studied Medicine, Medical Humanities and Fine Art and founded the website GraphicMedicine.org, coining the term that has been applied to the interaction between the medium of comics and the discourse of healthcare.
Daniel Locke is an artist and graphic novelist based in Brighton. Since 2013 much of his work has been informed and shaped by the discoveries of contemporary science. He's worked with Nobrow, Arts Council England, The Wellcome Trust and The National Trust.
We will begin with a talk by the artists about their work and how they address the challenges of communicating their ideas. Later Ian and Dan will lead a fun comic-book workshop where they will walk you through some of the skills and strategies they use in their books.
