Ray

Press Club Facilitator

As a teenager…

I spent an awful lot of time ‘getting it wrong’ and learning that what I really wanted to do was draw all the time and lie in fields… I got there eventually!

 

 

After School…

I boomeranged to Manchester, to Edinburgh, back to Manchester and then back to Lancaster! I went on a little adventure to study art and illustration, making comics, friends and finding my confidence 🙂

 

 

And Now…

I’m a full time comic book creator and artist facilitator, I spend most of my time in the same cafe drinking coffee and drawing, and going on walks with by dog Lebowski! I should spend more time lying in fields…

5 bits of advice to my teenage self…

  • What makes you cool is not what you do with your hair, it's being kind, allowing yourself to be excited about things and being completely and wholly you.
  • Go hang out with the people who love you for being yourself
  • Get off your phone. Go to sleep
  • Take the pressure off yourself, you're still growing, you have your whole life to figure out the rest
  • Go lie in a field
