Summer Intensive: MoCCA Art Festival

MoCCA Art Festival was this weekend and the six students who finished the class all showed up with completed—and highly polished-looking—minicomics (I should add that the two who had to drop the class are still planning on finishing theirs, too):

Jessica and I were in and out both days but it seemed like the SVA table had a pretty steady flow of visitors and the book sales were solid, not to mention lots of trading. A few of you mentioned you had been following my reports on the blog so a special thanks to all of you for reading and for taking the time to go see the the results. I hope we'll be seeing some reviews of these comics in post-MoCCA coverage. Let me know if you see any mentions.

Charles Hatfield and Gene Kannenberg stepping up to be the first customers of the weekend.

I'll try and do more posts like this about classes in the future if I can make the time. I'm taking a break from teaching until the fall, then I'll play it by ear. And incidentally Jessica and I are working on a relaunch of the DWWP website which will eventually feature more content like this from us and other educators.

Finally, we will definitely be offering Summer Intensive 2010 so stay tuned...
