Do you love comic books, but were always too intimidated to make one? Do you have a great graphic novel idea but aren't sure how to start putting it down on paper? Do you long to draw a comic strip, but need some motivation to get your characters out of your head and onto the page? Then this workshop is designed for you!

Comic books are an incredibly complex medium, but also a DIY art that requires nothing but a pen, paper, a stapler, and a healthy imagination. This relatively young art form, one of the few that is distinctly American, is just beginning to flex its muscles and show what it's capable of. In this workshop we explore the remarkable storytelling possibilities of comics, first by reviewing the nuts and bolts of the medium and then by hands-on exercises that will show you how to make your own mini-comic.

Justin Hall is an award-winning cartoonist best known for his series True Travel Tales, Hard To Swallow, and Glamazonia the Uncanny Super Tranny. His work has also appeared in the Houghton Miflin Best American Comics, The Book of Boy Trouble, and the S.F. Bay Guardian, among others, and he has been profiled in publications such as the S.F. Chronicle, Out Magazine, and Strip. He has had shows at the S.F. Cartoon Art Museum, and has lectured on comic art at the California College of Art, S.F. State, U.C. Santa Cruz, and the Oakland School of the Arts.
