I am really excited to announce this. The Savannah College of Art & Design has invited Dave Kellett and I to come visit and speak. On Monday, October 13th, we’ll be visiting various art classes to give spot lectures, critiques, and some hands-on instruction on the creation of sequential art and comics.

Then, on Tuesday, October 14th at 8 PM, we’ll be giving a free public talk at SCAD’s 1,100-seat Trustees Theater on the art and business of Webcomics (…and more broadly, how all visual artists can build their career online).

This will be one of many “firsts” for me. For one, it’s my first trip to Georgia. I hear Savannah is beautiful so I’m really looking forward to seeing the area. The second is that I don’t think I’ve ever spoken to a group as large as this before in my life. Thank god I got Dave there with me on stage. The Trustee’s theatre holds over 1000 people. Yikes. We hope to fill all the seats so please make plans to attend. We want to see you there.

After the talk, we’ll of course be signing and sketching in copies of “How to Make Webcomics”, as well as PvP books and Sheldon books.

Here’s a poster we made to promote the event. It was a lot of fun trying to draw the Forsythe Fountain. Click to see a bigger version.
