Examples of “Nick Draws Neighbours” by Nick Sayers, and extracts from “This Might Surprise You: A Cancer Memoir” by Hayley Gullen

Life Drawing: In a pair of interviews recorded at Cartoon County, Brighton, Alex Fitch talks to a pair of artists whose work is drawn from life. Nick Sayers discusses his projects Nick Draws Neighbours, and Nick Draws Nationals which see the artist pencil likenesses of people met locally and on zoom to compile vignettes of life during lockdown and beyond. Also, Hayley Gullen chats about her graphic memoir in process – This Might Surprise You – which chronicles her diagnosis of, and recovery from cancer, which was shortlisted for the 2023 Caliburn Prize for Comics.
