  Oxford Doodle ClubIn August 2019, I launched a new art group called Oxford Doodle Club, following on from Geo Law's Doodle Club which was based in Sheffield for two years. The Oxford Doodle Club was set up by Mat Roff (an Oxford-based illustrator), Laura Hope (an Oxford-based illustrator) and Alex Moore (a London-based illustrator) to encourage artists and enthusiasts, both young and old to meet up once a month and discover the city of Oxford together. As freelancers, we tend to find it difficult to meet people
