Come to SAW's Low Residency Week to get creative focus! Jumpstart a new comics project, or get a wayward project back on track in this weeklong comics workshop. 

Dr. Beth Trembley has taken so many of our courses, and even came to SAW last week for the Julia Gfrorer workshop. Trembley is a brilliant writer and tireless student of comics!

I’ve been wanting to create comics without words. And, I found the answer in Tom Hart’s workshop.

In my lectures I will show you  masterful drawings and paintings and we will examine the layers from the front to the back, and analyze how they arranged and depicted each layer.

I've been realizing lately why we tell our stories. It's to take our narrative for ourselves. And especially, to find continuity in our lives.

I was in the studio of cartoonist Brian Sendelbach in 1993, fretting about my latest mini-comic, when he stopped me and gave me the best piece of advice anybody has ever given me.

The best rejection letter I ever got came from an editor who was hiring all my friends for a hip anthology in the 90s. I had made a somewhat popular 50-page comic at this point, and thought anyone should hire me. 

A lot of people spend SO MUCH TIME DESIGNING THEIR CHARACTERS and worrying about everything looking PERFECT- but maybe it doesn’t matter at all!

We're proud of our most in-depth courses- the ones that will help you master comics and visual storytelling. But maybe you don't need that yet.

Are you a beginner? Our mini-courses are gateways to your power.  

Our year-long intensive is comics boot-camp. You'll learn storytelling, writing, drawing, and even some mask-making.

We're proud of the testimonials we've gotten at SAW, so I hope you don't mind if we share a few.

James Kochalka said he’d rather see an intense, raw, scrawled story than someone aping other people’s techniques. I tend to agree- but I also know every time I personally strive for more.

Leela Corman has put out a new amazing piece, BLOOD ROAD, about visiting the Buchenwald concentration camp in Germany. 

In this interview, I discuss a little of my artistic educational journey, how I was able to continue working on comics through my initial artistic shortcomings.

Craig Bostick ( http://www.aquaboy.net/ ) visited SAW this week and shared his amazing wealth of love and understanding of 50s and 60s cartoon and comic culture.

In Drawing from the Depths, students develop authentic approaches to creating emotionally charged work without resorting to cliche or sentimentalism. In class, we’ll discuss works by artists who excel at delving into deep emotional terrain.
