This week, the Art Store presents a comic generation class with Jan Marc Quisumbing. If you have interest in making comics and want to learn the ins and outs of the business, this class is for you. This July & early August class will go over the many aspects of the comic and cartooning world:
- Editorial Cartoons
- Comic Strips
- Caricatures
- Sequential Art
- Portfolio Development
- & Comicon 101
There is a process that an artist must go through to come up with their ideas for successful comics and/or cartoons. Jan Marc will share some of his favorite techniques while 
discussing and working out ideas with the class.
The Janimal is a northern arizona illustrator who loves to find humor in what others may not be informed of. Teaching classes for interested parties on how to practice your craft and be successful at is one of Jan Marc’s passions. He also enjoys organizing comicons locally (recently with Cottonwood). Comicons are all the rage so Janimal will review what to expect and how to work with them. The class will also share with you the basic needs of a professional illustrator and their studio. Pictured at left is where the Janimal works up his ideas. Talk about a creative atmostphere!
Artists have used comics and cartoons for hundreds of years by using skill and satire to question authority and draw attention to corruption and other social ills. This is only one of the styles he will be reviewing. See a recent cartoon shown at right pertaining to our recent political atmosphere. Ouch…….yea what has happened?
This class will not repeat from month to month since Jan Marc does attend comicons and similar events regularly as well as has many deadlines for his professional artist career.
