If you’re going to be in Brooklyn, NY at the beginning of October, check out SAW instructors Jess Ruliffson and Beth Trembley as they separately discuss healing and graphic storytelling at the Brooklyn Book Festival!

Returning for the September edition of SAW student interviews, where SAW members discuss their experience as comics creators. Conducted by Donna Druchunas and featuring California-based artist, Naomi Volain.

“Once, years ago, while walking her dogs in the woods, Elizabeth found a dead body. “ Library Journal review of Look Again, a recent Graphic Memoir by SAW Graphic Memoir Instructor, Elizabeth Trembley.

This is the first in a series of interviews with SAW students discussing their experience as comics creators. Conducted by Donna Druchunas and featuring Minnesota-based graphic storyteller, Lynn Von Sien.

Sooner or later something comes along that fractures our timeline. Upends our sense of simplicity, cohesion, or maybe our whole sense of self. That's when we start grasping for story. This Graphic Memoir Anthology brings together the work of 17 unique storytellers currently developing ambitious personal stories in comics form with The Sequential Artists Workshop.

An article Tom Hart shared recently in our Graphic Memoir Intensive on GRIEF and how it affects us physically, mentally, and who we are. Check it out here.

Are you looking to sink your teeth into something new? Have you been missing dedicating a whole weekend to community and new knowledge? We’ve got just the thing for you!

Announcing our first ever live, online weekend workshops. For four weekends in July, SAW alumni will lead you through a weekend of new skills and new ideas.

For anyone working on what feels like (or is) a "big idea" and not knowing how to start. OFTEN, a creator will make a small piece, either to get moving, or not realizing it is about to become a bigger thing. This is great, and it's encouraged! See more.

See how Instructor Beth Trembley uses cards to brainstorm!

We’ve got lots of projects underway in our Graphic Memoir Intensive group. A few recent works feature “road trips” from the past. These trips might be special journeys of the “once in a lifetime” sort, of a road trip made annually for a family vacation. The different routes of our roots give comics artists plenty to reflect on in the present!

Announcing SAW's first ever GRAPHIC MEMOIR RETREAT and WORKSHOP. Led by Tom Hart and Beth Trembley.

PRESIDENT'S DAY WEEKEND, Sat, Sun and Monday, Feb 15-17, 2020

Making comics can be a lonely thing to do, but it doesn’t have to be! We have the Mighty Network to bring our community of comics makers together, and we have our weekly Mighty Network roundup to make sure you don’t miss a thing!

We’re a little late with our Mighty Network weekly round-up, but we promise we’ve been using our time wisely and keeping very, very busy. Here’s our latest recap. Enjoy!

This week on the SAW Mighty Network we have recommendations for everything from Simon Hanselmann, to PBS episodes and MPR features, as well as works in progress.
