It’s SAWTOBER!

Join us for a month of daily drawing prompts!

Welcome to #SAWtober!

Every day this October, we’ll be drawing together with fresh prompts to spark your creativity. Whether you sketch daily or just want to dip in when you can, this is all about having fun, making art, and sharing it with others.

We’ve got three unique prompt lists this year—so you can follow one, mix and match, or create your own rhythm.

The Friday Night Comics workshops were started by the Believer Magazine in the fear and isolation of 2020, and were taken over by The Sequential Artists Workshop in 2021. In the beginning, Zoom was new to most of us, and we watched these heroically brave comic artists as they learned in front of a very large online audience how to share their screen, how to spotlight someone, how to mute and unmute - and we all learned too. These early workshops are full of a very sweet awkwardness. They are full of all of us scared, all of us living through circumstances we never expected to live through.

Make buttons at the SEQUENTIAL ARTISTS WORKSHOP! Participants will learn how to make their own buttons using Frankie’s button press—perfect for tabling, trading, or just showing off your style. All are welcome, and no experience is needed!

We were thrilled to partner with the Graphic Medicine International Collective (GMIC) for a 3 day online Graphic Medicine Summit between July 18-20, 2025. This summit featured comic readings, workshops and panel discussions, as well as the GMIC Graphic Medicine Awards. Artists, publishers and attendees joined from all around the world. It was an amazing experience and for anyone who missed it, the recordings can be enjoyed right here.
