The Center for Cartoon Studies will offer two special workshops for kids at the Maine Comics Arts Festival
One Sheet Comics Workshop
& Monster Alert!
The Fizzmont Institute of Rad Science is looking for young, excited cartoonists that can draw ferocious monsters and deadly dwellers of the deep! Our famed scientist, Leo Geo, has gone missing on his experiment to the center of the earth, and we need help drawing the monsters that might have taken him! Join Jon Chad, from The Center for Cartoon Studies, as he leads a monster drawing session and an interactive reading from his new book, Leo Geo.
Also, CCS student Sophie Goldstein will be joining the Web Comics Panel!
