For anyone working on what feels like (or is) a "big idea" and not knowing how to start. OFTEN, a creator will make a small piece, either to get moving, or not realizing it is about to become a bigger thing. This is great, and it's encouraged! See more.

Do you struggle making a plan for yourself? Try making your OUTLINE. It can be as basic and rough as you’d like, just as long as you START IT!

An insight on the Artistic Process from Student and Graphic Novelist, Layne Glasgow.

See how Instructor Beth Trembley uses cards to brainstorm!

Who will read my comic? The question of why am I doing this? Who am I making this for? How do I get in? How do I reach people? Does anyone care?

We’ve got lots of projects underway in our Graphic Memoir Intensive group. A few recent works feature “road trips” from the past. These trips might be special journeys of the “once in a lifetime” sort, of a road trip made annually for a family vacation. The different routes of our roots give comics artists plenty to reflect on in the present!

Wise words by Mentor, Elise Dietrich, in our Year-Long Intensive Program about the importance of making your work physical!

Like all of us, I need to get through the resistance some times. I over-think everything. I don't know my own voice. I'm adhering to someone else's standards. And I'm afraid of what everyone will think if I fail, and I know I will fail.

One way out of this is to produce work, lots of work, and to damn the torpedoes as far as the critical voice goes. (We can use our critical voice later, when we need a dialogue about who we are, what our style is, what we want to say...)

Even though 2020 has been a whirlpool; landslide; and train wreck all at once, we’re still trying our best to make online learning as interactive as possible.

Once a month, we try to get a guest speaker in to talk comics, publishing, and whatever other professional insight they have about the comic world.

The last few months, students in our exclusive Mighty Network groups had access to Pro-Calls via Zoom with some awesome guest speakers. This year, we were fortunate enough to get these guest speakers!
