SAW Friday Night Comics Workshop - Drawing Diary Comics with Ellen O'Grady. Friday January 28th, 2022 @ 7PM EST

Cartoonist and SAW instructor, Jess Ruliffson, posted a quote from a book she recommends centering on process.

"It's okay if you weren't brave enough or ready to write what you really needed to write. You will be next time." - Kristen Radke. (Quote from Before and After The Book Deal by Courtney Maum, a great book I recommend).

A personal comic by SAW member and Alumni, Kevin Curley, regarding process, growth, and identity as a cartoonist.
