In this two-hour workshop, participants will be introduced to the what, how and whys of self publishing with local comic artist and zine maven Nicole J. Georges. Focusing in particular on personal zines and diary comics, participants will review examples and get to work on their own personal comic, the beginnings of which will be photocopied and dispersed at the end of the day!
Nicole J. Georges has been self publishing for over 13 years, eight of which have been spent teaching adults, children and seniors the magic of this art form. Her autobiographical comic zine Invincible Summer has been released as two anthologies through Microcosm Publishing and Tugboat Press. Nicole is most proud of being voted Miss Specs Appeal 2006 by "hey four eyes!" Zine.
