7 July – CARTOONS AND COMICS WORKSHOP (for kids)
Dive into the exciting world of comics and cartooning with illustrator James Foley as you learn how to bring your ideas to life on the page!

James will guide aspiring artists through facial expressions, speech bubbles, sound effects, comic layout techniques, and all the essential skills needed to start creating their very own comics.
Whether you dream of drawing superheroes, hilarious adventures, or imaginative graphic novels filled with the kind of humour and creativity found in James’s award-winning books, this workshop is the perfect place to spark your imagination and start telling stories through art.

James Foley 
i really think that james has really inspired many young writers and readers to strive at their best!
Cheers Bob!
Looking forward to meeting you this Saturday at the MRRWF, James :o).
See you then, Jodie 🙂
We attended a workshop for homeschoolers today and it was awesome!! My 5 year old loves to create his own storybooks and now he wants to make a book and give it to his new hero – James Foley!! Thanks for your inspiration!
Also in addition to my comment above, my 5 year old has now told me instead of being Iron Man or Spiderman when he grows up, he now wants to “work at the library and make books – like James Foley.” How amazing is that!
That’s so nice to hear! Maybe he doesn’t have to give up being Iron Man or Spider-man though (maybe he could be a writer/illustrator as well as a superhero??)
Thanks for the feedback Hayley!
I’ll be meeting you soon James! I’m one the Curating Kids from Perth Festival! Can’t wait to meet you! 😀
Hi Anna, see you at the Festival soon! Speaking of which, I’d better add the details to this page …
Dear James Foley,
I’d love to read your new book on stellarphant!
Hi Charisse! I can’t wait to have it out in the world. It’s available from Nov 2nd. Cheers!
HI again Charisse! Just letting you know that Stellarphant is now available in bookshops! https://jamesfoley.com.au/books/stellarphant/
Im a teacher educator as well as the director of a company that provides writing retreats and literacy support for writers of all ages and backgrounds. I loved finding out more about James’ work by attending the Kids Book Fest Illustrator Extravaganza! Looking forward to finding ways to inspire struggling students using James’ wonderful books as well as his amazing approach to being an author and illustrator. Thanks for the session. It was awesome!
No worries, Sue! Thanks for being part of it.
My pleasure!
You are so inspiring to young readers
Thanks Scarlett!
