Workshop Testimonials

“The online Graphic Memoir workshop was a transformative experience for me. It was the perfect combination of in-depth theory, intense drawing and priceless tips about all phases of the creative process. I left with a much better sense of what making comics is and can be, and the potential for my work in that context. I highly recommend it to anyone who is serious about embracing or including comics in their practice.”

— Cris, Milwaukee, WI
