What does finished look like to you? Try to create and FINISH something, a panel, a page, a full-mini comic. When does it look FINISHED? How do you know? What does "finished" look like?

Did you know SAW is the NEW HOST of Believer Magazine's Friday Night Comics Workshops? Our first workshop is kicking off this Friday, October 22, with Cara Bean! This is a FREE event happening EVERY FRIDAY!

Check it out! We have a sign! You can now easily spot us whenever you're travelling along south Main Street here in Gainesville, Florida.

I was thinking more about this card duo. There are some more lovely interpretations. This is perhaps how we court our relationship with comics in general.

So, I'm doing a memoir comic. Yeah, it's got an anthropomorphic bear and a Gumby-looking guy and the stories aren't 100% "true" but it's a memoir nonetheless..

That is part of the reason I decided to fly home to New Hampshire for a weekend this fall…

October has arrived in all its sunny glory here in Gainesville. With the close of September I thought I’d take a chance to do a quick recap of the last month here at SAW and give a little insight into what’s been happening behind the scenes.

Work LIVE with Cartoonist and Adventure Time and The Midnight Gospel Storyboard Artist Derek Ballard to challenge your imagination and skills to develop new ideas and stories.

Sooner or later something comes along that fractures our timeline. Upends our sense of simplicity, cohesion, or maybe our whole sense of self. That's when we start grasping for story. This Graphic Memoir Anthology brings together the work of 17 unique storytellers currently developing ambitious personal stories in comics form with The Sequential Artists Workshop.

Weeklong workshop: October 18-22, 2021 with Emma Jensen!

Come to SAW's weeklong workshop to get creative focus! Jumpstart a new comics project, or get a wayward project back on track.

Socially Distant represents some of the ambitious works developed during the Pandemic by students of the Sequential Artists Workshop (SAW) from September 2020 to July 2021. Inside, you’ll find words, lines, pictures, and the like mixed to tell stories, whether fictional or not, of masks; of new habits; of loneliness; of comfort; of boredom; of rumors; of relief; of survival; of keeping on. It brings together the far reaching work of 27 different artists from around the United States and beyond.
