Making Comics

I’ve always said that I’m not an artist, but after reading cartoonist (and Matt Groening contemporary) Lynda Barry’s defense of anyone as able to foster a daily drawing habit, I’ve started reconsidering. It’s a great way to connect to the wild, childlike essence of creativity we mostly grew out of at some point. Comics, in particular, are a fantastic entry point back into unfettered artistic expression. Local illustrator and independent comic creator Adam Kobetich is offering a free workshop teaching the basics of storytelling and panel layout with comic creation. What goes on those panels? Utterly up to you. – Cat McCarrey
