The Daily Misfortune 228

This is certainly the case whenever I change purses!

Yesterday my cartooning workshop for Make It On Myrtle went well.  Had a good turn out in the morning, and they asked me to do the second session in the afternoon as well.  But it was SO freaking HOT!  At least I didn't get sunburned though, because there were tents.  Overall, a good experience.  It's always great to see kids (and adults!) learning and being creative in their own unique ways while having fun too :)  If you know of a need for a comics teacher anywhere, let me know.

The Daily Misfortune 227

Update:  Make It On Myrtle classes are all FREE!  Come learn how to draw comics for my class this Sunday July 7th from 11am-1pm.  In Brooklyn at the CitiBank parking lot on the corner of Myrtle & Clinton Ave.  Looks like we'll have good weather for it too :)

Make It On Myrtle: Cartooning Workshop

I'm teaching a cartooning workshop THIS SUNDAY JULY 7th at 11AM!  (Goes until 1pm).  You'll learn the basics of cartooning, from creating your own unique character from basic shapes, to putting that character in your own comic strip!  Go to www.myrtleavenue.org for more info to register, or just drop by.  It's $10 per participant.

It's fine in small amounts though, like any other sweets.  Yep, taken right from the label.

The Daily Sunburn 213

Eternal Con was a success!  Except that I got turned around on the Long Island bus system and got there a half hour after show hours started.  But I've traveled enough to remain calm and knew I'd get there eventually, and figured not many people would be there right in the morning.  Wrong!  There were so many people!  I give credit to the people who organized this convention - they had a phenomenal turnout for it being the first show of its kind.  I did well and was sketching a lot.  I want to post pics, but I have a feeling I'm getting too busy with other work nowadays to spend so much time on recapping.

Oh yes, and the Aviation Museum seemed cool, even though I only saw like a corner of it.  But the skylight windows were burning up me and my table.  Luckily, I had a mini bottle of sunblock with me (or I'd get burned within 20 minutes).  I was saved that day, but not on the next for Make It On Myrtle, where got burned while outside all day talking to people about the work shops.  It was bound to happen eventually.

Make It On Myrtle

I designed this flyer and banner (below) for an awesome outdoor summer workshop:  Make it on Myrtle!  Workshops range from fixing your bike to brewing your own beer to making comics!  My teaching session on comics will be July 7th from 2 to 4pm.

We hung the banners today at the location in Brooklyn.  Found out there was random construction in the lot... hope it doesn't get in the way of the workshops.  Anyway, classes are 2 hours each from 11am to 1pm, then from 2pm to 4pm.  Register for a spot at www.myrtleavenue.org!

If you're in the Long Island area this Saturday June 15th, check out Eternal Con!  I'll be there all day.  Cheers!
