Obstacle Course Workshop with Matt Madden
We recently hosted Matt Madden for SAW’s WE BELIEVE IN COMICS Friday Night Workshop. We had a great time with Matt Madden, where we played a game of making nine panel comics from three words in a very specific, poetic order. We had a lot of fun and really flowed with this exercise!
