Three FREE workshops about PLACE for 2025
Making comics about where you live, or want to live.
Hi all!
We’re digging around in the vast SAW Friday Night Comics archives (three years now, over 150 workshops) and are noticing some trends. Lots of music, lots of memoir, lots of monsters and animals, and lots of graphic medicine.
For 2025, we hear a lot of people talking LOCAL. Local community, local help, local awareness.
Here are three comics workshops about PLACE:
Discover your World with Glynnis Fawkes
Glynnis had us not just noticing our community, but researching it. A great workshop for getting to know where you live!

Creating Place with Sarah Maloney
Sarah Maloney gave us a wonderful workshop rooted in shoes we wear in a place…

And one of my personal favorites…
DRAWING (NOT) ON LOCATION with Alabaster Pizzo
Alabaster had us researching places we’ve never been with Google Street view, rental listings and more. This was international and a lot of fun.

We believe PLACE is important too. Where we live matters. Who we live near, what environment is around us, what creatures we share the world with.
We enjoy curating these workshops for you! Thanks to all of our wonderful artists.
Ok that’s it for this week. Have fun revisiting these amazing workshops! Share them with your loved ones, or those who are drawing themselves in, need comfort or an art place to be!
And join us every week for free live ones, on Fridays 7 Eastern / 4 Pacific here:
