SAW Changes Lives!

We’ve heard it over and over again.

SAW changed, & continues to change, my life! When I tell people about the incredible comics community & classes I'm part of at SAW they're sure such an amazing place couldn't exist. I say 'psh! Here's the link!' 😛 I've never felt so supported to improve my craft & make my art. SAW 4 LYFE.

Dante Gabriel Hookey
This piece feels kind of like a breakthrough to me - the result of the SAW courses I've been taking and finding this great community. You know, the kind of thing you look at a couple of days later and say to yourself, "Did I really make that?"

Robert Danberg
SAW gave me the confidence to become the artist I wanted to be. I am very grateful for the time I spent learning, trying, studying comics, figuring out my own style, letting myself struggle, succeed and fail, working in many different mediums and learning from all the different mentors and guest speakers. I am so happy Tom started this school. It was so much better than I had ever imagined. I'll forever have fond memories of my time at SAW.

Tamara Jong
I'm in Portland and I heard there was a great shop here called Books With Pictures. I just walked in and asked and they bought some of my SAW comic!

Kristin Kowal
SAW was everything I needed… I learned so much in such a short amount of time from some of the most dedicated, compassionate people I've ever met.
