XSCAPIST UNIVERSITY WORKSHOP!

on 03/29/2020 at 2:07 AM
Due to the current pandemic, learning serious and fun things is taking place online. To keep our brains positively stimulated and our spirits up, I am launching an independent kids comic workshop on ZOOM, through my own XSCAPIST UNIVERSITY, this Friday, April 3rd at 4pm!
This workshop, which will go from 4-5:30pm, will be one that covers some principles of character and comic design I’ve learned from my time across conventions nationwide, as well as my own comic itself, broken down into a digestible format for a youthful audience of kids. The pricing is $30 for the 1.5 hours via my PayPal or Venmo (My PayPal.me is here and Venmo is @Xscapist). As I’ve previously mentioned, the workshop will be on Zoom (which you won’t need a Zoom account to be on), so there’ll be an online chatroom to share questions and comments as we go, as well as the chance to see me live demonstrate/draw each step as we go.
 
If it’s been a little while, my name is LJ! I’m a cartoonist local to Boston that specializes in comics, animation, and art education. I do an all-ages graphic novel series entitled COMIXSCAPE featuring the exploits of a perpetual preteen boy named Tyler Wesley and his best friend, a raccoon with a ravenous appetite named Rocky. The series has been adapted into a motion comic I’ve produced and directed, as well as a character-song based mixtape EP entitled COMIXTAPE set for release later this year.
So far it has been collected into a trio of books with a fourth on the way for this year too! I’ve had the opportunity to do work for companies like Hasbro, Google, and most recently WGBH for a COMIXSCAPE kids workshop segment attached to their PBS cartoon Pinkalicious set to air with their Season 2 premiere on Monday, March 30th at 11am (please check your local listings!).
I thank you for your time and support. I hope to see you all at XSCAPIST UNIVERSITY, this Friday, April 3rd at 4pm! Links to the scheduled event will be sent out as folks register their spot! I can be contacted via my ComixscapistLJ(at)Gmail.com email for confirmation!
With gratitude,
LJ
