Comics for Breakfast: Alumni Artist Talk + Comics Jam
Comics for Breakfast: Alumni Artist Talk + Comics Jam In-Person
What’s life like after art school? Join us for a live comics reading and conversation with three Mason alumni: Lee Strawberry (BFA '19), Ash Smith (BA '22), and Sylvia Rossi (BFA '23)! Attendees will learn a little more about being working cartoonists, and how these creators keep their practice going.
Following the talk, Sylvia Rossi will lead a comics workshop and Risograph printing demonstration from 12-1:30PM.
Registration free but required, no experience needed! Snacks and supplies will be provided.
Sponsored by Mason Libraries, Mason Exhibitions, and University Life.
