NOVEMBER 2014
Join us Sunday, December 7 from 4:00- 6:00 pm in the Jabez Sanford Hardin Performing
Arts Center to learn about the basics and business of Cartooning in the Digital Age with
cartoonist Bill Barnes.
Bill Barnes always wanted to be a cartoonist when he grew up. After developing software for
several decades he went back to his roots. He now draws and co-writes Unshelved (http://
www.unshelved.com/) and writes Not Invented Here (http://notinventedhe.re/).
Making comic strips might just be the most enjoyable job in the world, and thanks to the
internet it’s easier than ever to put your work in front of potential readers. In this two-hour
program, veteran cartoonist Bill Barnes (Unshelved, Not Invented Here) will show you how
to make comic strips, publish them on the web, and maybe make some money too!
The first hour, The Basics of Cartooning, is a fast and fun workshop for middle schoolers
through adult, covering every step in creating a comic strip: creating memorable characters,
writing dialog, lettering, pencilling, inking, and coloring.
The second hour, The Technology and Business of Cartooning, is oriented towards mature
teens and adults. Bill describes how he uses computers to create and publish comic strips
to the internet and describes how he makes money doing it.
Attendees are welcome to attend one or both hours. It’s perfectly okay to leave if the
discussion becomes too technical and/or irrelevant for you!
Free tickets are available at tinyurl.com/cartooningdigital.
