___________________________________________________________________________________________________

1pm-2pm: No Rules, No Budget, All Fun! How and why you should make comics! – 60 Minutes

There are as many ways to make comics as there are comics out there! Whether you write or draw, make your own photocopied books or publish professionally, or you’re totally new to the medium but with a story to tell, you can make comics! Our speakers will each outline the process that they take to create comics and how you can do it too. Plus, following the panel each of our speakers will be available for one-on-one consultation and to answer your questions about creating comics. Speakers include:

- Georgia Webber, discussing the comics collective and peer-support group gangLion.

- Ruth Tait, an illustrator/cartoonist who will discuss her digital comics creating process

- stef lenk, a visual artist who has just completed a do-it-yourself comics creation guide and primer and will share her tips and advice on self-publishing.
