We have the pleasure of having cartoonists Josh Bayer and Hyena Hell doing another SLIDING-SCALE virtual punk comics workshop!

in this workshop, we go over drawing techniques, inking, some comics history, what makes YOU punk, and getting INK on that page!

Draw the critic. Have a dialogue with it. Talk to it. Pick it with pins. Visualizing the internal struggles we have usually helps (a little). You just gotta transfer your understanding and competence with finishing something you can typically finish to comics. Not your competence with the medium, just your competence with finishing.

Do You Ever Worry That You Won't Get it Right? Here are some thoughts from NY Bestselling Graphic Novelist and SAW Founder, Tom Hart.

It’s been a long year full of unexpected changes and challenges. Here at SAW the health and safety of our staff, students and community members has been our biggest priority. That’s why in March last year we closed our studio doors and we’ve kept them shut, moving all of our offerings online.

Now that things are looking like they’re changing once again, SAW is looking towards the future of in person programming.

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.

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!
