Attention Vancouverites! I’m doing a free workshop in a few weeks at Opus Art Supplies, at the downtown Vancouver location. It’s called Working on the Web and I’ll be talking about how awesome it is to be an artist on the web and how you should be doing it too. I’ll be offering practical advice about how and why to put your art online, and I’ll tell some crazy stories along the way. If you’re a creative person and you’ve been thinking about putting your work online, then this is the session for you!
The workshop is on July 25 from 2 PM to 4 PM. Seating is limited, so sign up now!
If you have any questions about the session, leave a comment here or send it to me.
The Vancouver Comic Arts Festival (VanCAF) is this weekend and I’ll be there! And I’m bringing a bunch of fun new stuff with me. I’ll be debuting a little book of my favourite cat comics (shown above with a sleeping Watson), and I’m bringing new locally-made buttons (shown below) and t-shirts!
Admission is free and there will be events all day Saturday and Sunday, including a panel discussion that I’m hosting, called “Breaking Into Comics” on Sunday May 26 at noon. I am fortunate to have the following talented guests on the panel: Ed Brisson, Jason Turner, Jesse Davidge, and Lucy Bellwood. We’ll be talking about how we all got started in this crazy comics business, and hopefully our stories will give you some ideas.
If you’re in Vancouver, I hope you can make it to VanCAF – it looks like it’s going to be a lot of fun!
Update: Here’s a link to a recording of the Breaking Into Comics session!
Tomorrow, on Friday, March 1 at 1:30 PM CST, I’m doing a live Q & A session on the GoComics twitter page. Got a question for me? Just use the hash tag #SavageLIVE to send in your questions. Your questions and my answers will be posted on the GoComics twitter account with the #SavageLIVE hash tag. Looking forward to chatting with you all tomorrow!
This weekend, I’m appearing at Emily Con! at The Emily Carr University of Art + Design in Vancouver, BC.
I’ll be selling and signing books on Saturday, September 29th from 11 AM – 5 PM. Except when I’m in a panel discussion with super-talented artists Ed Brisson and Rebecca Dart from 2 PM – 3 PM, called Make Your Own Damn Comic, where we’ll be giving you all the advice and encouragement you need in order to, well, make your own damn comic.
Looks like a lot of fun, so if you’re in Vancouver, stop by Granville Island and check it out. Admission is FREE!
And here’s the Facebook event!
Hope to see you there!
