SAWgust Challenge Comics Reading
Want
to know what it's like to create a comic in 24 Hours? Start with these
readings of comics created as part of the First Annual SAWgust
Challenge!
The SAWgust challenge is a NaNoWriMo-style
event for comics creators, put together by our friends at the Sequential
Artists Workshop in Gainesville, Florida. Creators had one month to
complete a comics goal of their own choosing. Coupling the discipline
of 24 Hour Comics Day with the sensibleness of regular sleeping habits,
come find out what happens.

It's a new type of comic once you let the letters in.
Guest Instructor Bram Meehan will lead participants through technical and conceptual approaches to the use of text in comics. This will come in handy when you're struggling to finish the lettering on Hour 19 of your 24 Hour Comic.

We have a new friend helping to sponsor us this year. A Print Friend. Based in Santa Fe, Hello, Print Friend is a podcast dedicated to the celebration and amplification of contemporary printmaking and its culture.
