Making Mini Comics - Workshop with Pat Grant
Mini-comics are small, self published and often beautifully hand made comic books that are printed in finite numbers and distributed through alternative networks. Many famous graphic novel creators cut their cartooning teeth making mini-comics and some have pontificated that these comic books, little seen by the general populace, are the foundation for contemporary cartooning.
This workshop will take you through all stages of the mini-comic process from the early scribblings through to various forms of printing, assembly and distribution.
