fall semester is almost here

Students at this summer's Comics Seminar

The new school year is about to start. I'll be at SVA teaching my undergrad ink drawing class and co-teaching a sophomore Storytelling class with Jessica. I'll also, as usual, be teaching my two continuing education classes: Comics Storytelling and, with Tom Hart, Independent Projects Seminar: Comics. Tom and I will be at an open house THIS Thursday evening, Sept 2 if you want to learn more.

On Tuesday nights I'll be offering my Comics Storytelling Class. It's really a catch-all class, not really for rank beginners but a little experience is all you  need. We do some short comics that are a little experimental and then spend the second half of the 12-week course working on short comics. 

Three Saturdays during the semester (9/25, 10/23, 12/04), Tom Hart and I will be offering our Seminar class, a chance to work independently on comics and bring in work for periodic feedback. (Note that the October date has been changed from 10/16 to 10/23 since I have been invited to France that former weekend. More on that here soon.)
There are lots of other great classes on offer including a few new ones I've never heard of. I would particularly point you to Tom's comics class, Sequential Art: Expanding Your Vision and also Lauren Weinstein's new class, Design & Build Comics, which deals with making comics for specific formats like broadsheets, cubes, and so on.

There will be an Open House Thursday night

Dear Matt,
Thanks for the link to the StoryCubes. In case you didn't know we've created a free web-based platform which allows users to create their own StoryCubes (and our Diffusion eBooks too) : http://bookleteer.com
We'd love to see more people create comics & zines with it,
best wishes, Giles
