Week-Long Intensive With John Porcellino $300 - Sold Out Dreams, Visions and Inspiration: A Week-Long Intensive with John Porcellino John Porcellino will guide students in this 5-day workshop from blank page to completing their own mini-comic. Porcellino is one of the most appreciated artists of his generation. His personal stories are often called "deceptively simple." His drawing style is pure comics, and communicates both instantly and deeply. His storytelling is heartfelt and expressionistic, nuanced and deeply human. In this week-long workshop, students will work with John from morning to evening, creating small works that they will then publish on Friday. Students will learn how John works, plans, looks to his sketches and notes for ideas and his vast stores of culture, art and nature for inspiration.
