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!

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

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.

SAW gives you maximum resources and minimal bullshit. It’s small. It’s close. You are literally surrounded by comics. There’s no grades, no suffocating “I’m-the-teacher” hierarchy. What you get is professionals who have collectively mastered the whole range of comics, and a dozen other nerds to learn from them with.

You will crank out work faster than you ever have before. You will have three hour conversations about R. Crumb’s crosshatching. You’ll see things you didn’t think were possible.  You won’t be able to go to sleep from all the ideas that keep coming to you. You will learn what it is like to be passionate and you will feel as if you can do anything.
