The Mid-South Cartoonists Association will be holding a comics creation panel and portfolio review for those interested in promoting cartoon as art.
Join the Mid-South Cartoonists Association on June 7th for a rare opportunity to listen to a panel discussion about creating comics followed by a portfolio review of your work at A. Schwab’s on Beale Street. Come for both, or one or the other – the event is free as we continue our mission to promote cartoon as art. This event is open to all artists, regardless of age, education, or experience. (Please note, an adult must stay with you if you aren’t old enough to drive yourself.) Panel discussion will begin promptly at 3pm, with the portfolio review starting at 4pm with creators breaking out into groups.
In attendance will be creators Greg Cravens, Antonio Johnson, Katie Jones, Lin Workman, and MSCA President Kevin Williams. The reviews will be to share feedback, areas for improvement and guidance/advice on next steps. Bring your questions about process, tools, and techniques!
Please bring original art for review; but if you plan to leave any work behind, make sure to leave copies. Be sure to have examples of your best work (maximum 6 pages). It is suggested that art for review is at least in a sketchbook though art portfolios are preferred, with art showing sequential story telling (we will be looking at art only for this review, not story or scripts). This review is to help your art growth, not for hire. All types of illustration will be considered, including digital art, comics, graphic narrative, animation and other creative uses of time-based media. Unpublished and personal work is welcome. We will NOT review A.I. generated images. Continue reading
