Jamie Smart: Bunny vs Monkey takeover
Jamie Smart, creator of the best-selling phenomenon Bunny vs Monkey, joins us for a comics explosion on Authors Live! Jamie talks us through the creation of his two most iconic characters, Bunny and Monkey, and shows us step by step how to bring them to life. We get an exciting insight into his process and how illustration, writing, and design can come together to create an absolute sensation. Jamie also treats us to a live drawing of a brand new Bunny vs Monkey three panel comic, and leave us inspired to try our hand at creating our own – so, get your pens, pencils, paper and a good amount of silliness at the ready, and enjoy this special episode of Authors Live.
