This month, we’re bringing you something a little bit different for our monthly report: a summary of the SAW 2021 online survey that we sent out to members in August of this year.

Let Ourselves Shine! We are organizing ourselves into communities, and sharing our selves, the best we can. See more from this topic in our free online community full of thoughts about making art, why we make art, and more.

Values, Goals and Systems! A recent student in the graphic memoir group mentioned their "maladaptive systems", and how they're doing a memoir about them. And it got me thinking about the hierarchy --which I'm sure I heard somewhere, but I can't remember where-- of values, goals, and systems…

Friday Night Comics Workshop: The Bad Art Hour with Daryl Seitchik! This workshop will focus on how embracing mistakes in drawing and storytelling can free us up and lead to happy accidents we wouldn't have come to any other way. There will be some drawing warm ups, a short google slides talk, and then an exercise in improvised comics + time to share. It's the class *I* need right now, so I'm hoping other people will benefit too!

At SAW, we stand with those who have put their lives on the line for generations to fight for equal rights, equal footing, equal safety and equal expression.

So, I'm doing a memoir comic. Yeah, it's got an anthropomorphic bear and a Gumby-looking guy and the stories aren't 100% "true" but it's a memoir nonetheless..

That is part of the reason I decided to fly home to New Hampshire for a weekend this fall…

Socially Distant represents some of the ambitious works developed during the Pandemic by students of the Sequential Artists Workshop (SAW) from September 2020 to July 2021. Inside, you’ll find words, lines, pictures, and the like mixed to tell stories, whether fictional or not, of masks; of new habits; of loneliness; of comfort; of boredom; of rumors; of relief; of survival; of keeping on. It brings together the far reaching work of 27 different artists from around the United States and beyond.
