The End of the 2020-2021 Year Long Program!
Our latest Year-Long Intensive Program session has ended! Our students who finished all of their final assignments will be getting their certificate in the mail the next few months!
What a year! Our Year-Long Program has 2 different routes: Full Immersion or Fully Online but with the pandemic, we could only do the Online version! All in all, it’s been a thrill and we’re so grateful for all the SAW students who stuck it through and got their assignments all done!
Make comics forever! See what a couple of our students had to say:

COMING UP NEXT
The next course to launch this year is our 6 Month Graphic Novel Development Intensive!
“That project is biting at you, asking, begging to be made! You need to put your attention to it. You need to find the focus and tools to say yes to it and make it happen. The Graphic Novel Development Intensive is what you need.
From SAW instructors, Tom Hart and Emma Jensen and others, we will provide you with inspiration, advice & critique, motivation and structured action plan
Let's get that graphic novel going!”
FREE THURSDAY DRAW JAMS!
Throughout the week we always have free, community-run virtual Draw Jams via Zoom run by Barry Sawicki! You can find the links embedded in SAW's Mighty Network, with regular updates about times and themes. This past Thursday, we talked about What makes a comic work, and what makes a comic now work. Join us next week to discuss nature and flowers in comics.
Come draw with us and chat about comics! Free!
NEW! FRIDAY COMICS READING VIA ZOOM!
April 30th we had our SECOND Friday Night Comics Reading!
“SAW’s newest, live, virtual and FREE event: Friday Night Comics Readings.
On the last Friday of the month we bring together four members of our online community to read from their recent or in progress work.
In our second Friday Night Comics Reading event we will hear from our SAW online students stories of wonder, excitement and reconciliation. Featuring Kevin Curley, Erin Fitzgerald, Karen Knighton and a bonus reader to be confirmed on the night.
This is a FREE live performance, not workshopping. Come ready to be entertained and to experience comics in a different way.
This event will be recorded and posted to our YouTube with captions. There will be unrecorded time at the end of the performance to mingle and catch up to close out the week.
We look forward to seeing you there!”
- Emma Jensen, SAW Instructor And Program Director
