\u00a0My name is Jenny Drew and I\u00a0completed the Cartooning Diploma Course<\/a> with John Byrne<\/a>. I developed enough confidence to begin cartooning stories of the young people I work with, in my job as a Youth Offending Preventions Keyworker.<\/p>\n

<\/span>At first I started drawing the story of a young man who has ADHD, as I needed to find new ways to engage him. The comic approach worked so well, I started to try using comics and cartoons in different ways with other young people I worked with.<\/p>\n

<\/span>Other professionals started to find out about what I was doing, and they encouraged me to approach a publisher. I sent the proposal and some comics to a few, and to my surprise I had more than one offer of a book contract. After the initial shock-induced writers block, I signed a contract with Jessica Kingsley Publishers and spent the rest of the year completing a book.<\/p>\n

<\/span>During this time I also signed up to the Digital Illustration Diploma<\/a>\u00a0with Spencer Hill<\/a>. To be honest, I wish I’d done that before I wrote the book, it would have made life easier and saved a lot of screwed up paper and rubbing out! I did use digital methods for some of the stories, and now I’ve got the hang of it, I plan to write my next project completely using digital techniques. First I need to take some time out to finish the course!<\/p>\n

<\/span>My book was released in January, you can find ‘Cartooning Teen Stories’ at www.jkp.com<\/a>, and my blogwww.jennydrewsomething.com<\/a> (I’m also on Facebook and Twitter as jennydrewsomething)<\/p>\n

<\/span>I would love to hear from anyone reading this, please get in touch and let me know how you use your artwork to communicate with others \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
