Background

About John Brinkley

I'm a comic creator, graphic designer and video editor with 6 years of experience in design and storytelling. The latter is my passion and I love to tell stories, regardless of medium.But while I am designing and editing in the day at iconsys, I am teaching others to create comics at night and on the weekends?I am a storyteller, artist and mentor to those who want to tell stories in the form of comics and graphic novels. I've been making videos on YouTube for over 2 years, helping both artists and writers understand the often confusing and sometimes lonely world of making your own comics?I create evergreen and varied video tutorials on the comic making process, from basic art fundamentals such as perspective to turning a screenplay into a comic script. My aim is to make things as easy and straightforward as possible so that you can focus on the fun stuff - your creativity!I also offer mentoring services, including a group cohort that lasts 10 weeks and features live lessons, 1-2-1 tutoring, Q & As, tasks and more?I have a BA in Illustration, specialising in Comics from the University of Wrexham as well as a Masters in Design. I've been creating comics for almost a decade and, since being at university, have fallen in love with teaching?I spend my off days wrestling my daughter (she's undefeated), watching SpongeBob with her or gaming with my wife. Since the pandemic, I somehow got into cooking and long walks, which we've kept up ever since!If you want to connect with me or chat more about what I can do for you, I'd love to hear from you.
