Beano comics illustrator Nigel Parkinson will be displaying his legendary drawing skills at the Eden Project in Cornwall later this month.
Nigel Parkinson will be visiting the Eden Project over the Bank Holiday weekend.
With a career spanning more than 42 years, Nigel has drawn Dennis, Gnasher, and many other Beano characters for the weekly comic. He also illustrated the summer and winter annuals, as well as the Royal Mail's 2021 Beano stamps.
Nigel is also known for drawing other classic comics, including The Dandy, Thunderbirds, Stingray and Grange Hill.
It's all about Beano at the Eden Project this summer.
The comic artist will be at the Eden Project over the Bank Holiday weekend, Saturday, August 27, and Sunday, August 28 where he will be hosting a series of illustration workshops. Talking about his upcoming trip to Eden, Nigel said: “Amidst the exotic, fascinating flora of the Eden Project I shall be helping this summer's Beano mania reach both new and old friends. Come and see how I draw for Beano and maybe learn a few tricks of the trade yourself!"
Kate Francis, Eden’s Live Programme Producer, said: “We are over the moon to be welcoming Nigel to Eden this August bank holiday weekend – it really is the cherry on top of what has been a brilliant summer of Beano antics. Our Tipis have hosted some fantastic illustration workshops already and will also be welcoming South West-based illustrator Jack Teagle on August 24 and 31.”
Nigel has illustrated Beano for many years.
This summer, the site of the famous Biomes has been abuzz with Beano mania, with visitors invited to embark on the mission of saving the planet from the dreaded CO₂-Zilla.
Nigel’s illustration workshops will take place at 11:00am, 1pm, 2pm, and 3pm on the weekend of August 27 and 28.
Pre-booking a place for the workshops is essential, at no extra cost – this can be done at the entrance to the Tipis on site.
