Indepentent living Event

On the 15th October 2015 I will be Graphic Reporting at this important event run by Equal lives. The event will showcase service, organisations and companies for people in independent living. Shelly Telly from the Shelly Telly Crew will be helping me. Runs from 10am to 3pm in The Willow Centre in Cringleford Norwich.

Graphic Reporting on dementia

 

Last week I went along to a big meeting about Dementia with all the people that have something to do with the care side from across the County. 

The next day I drew up the notes and Sabrina came along to help me colour in the reporting. This was the biggest event yet with 50 people at the meeting. This time I did the actual reporting without Sabrina and Shelly. But I wont be doing that again. I am going to only do the Graphic reporting with a team.  

 This was the biggest event yet with 50 people at the meeting. This time I did the actual reporting without Sabrina and Shelly. But I wont be doing that again. I am going to only do the Graphic reporting with a team. As its very intense listening and converting ideas into pictures and it really helps having friends there to help me. 

One of the comments that someone had said was that 'All carers need a wage' because most carers are family members and its not fair that they are doing a tough job with no money coming in.

Ten metres of drawing for this event and here is a tiny section. 

Ghaphic Reporter

My new job as a Graphic reporter!! I was hired by Shelly Telly and part of her Action crew on a ABCD project in South Norfolk. About bringing communities together and having and figuring out how to support people with mental health.

I use felt tip pens and a really long roll of paper and draw what people are saying in image form. People in the meeting can draw to if they want and help colour in parts of the big picture. All good fun and I been asked to more Graphic reporting with another group so its trending. Get in touch if you would like me to help with your meetings.Here is a link to the website which has just been made about the project.
