Join us for this supercool, family-friendly presentation on the world of comic bookmaking with Jon Chad—writer, illustrator, and author of multiple comic books.
Jon will start by overviewing what his cartooning process looks like, the common workflow of a graphic novel, and what sort of relationship exists between artist and editor in the modern comics publishing landscape. An open discussion will follow where Jon can speak to questions regarding comics, illustration, or applied cartooning. Children are encouraged to attend!
