Room for One More

Chris Fenoglio

The final addition to our guest list for the Fest is Chris Fenoglio, who has a roaring comics career underway despite his tender age.

Chris is a comic book artist, colorist, and teacher. He’s drawn titles such as Goosebumps: Monsters At Midnight, X-Files: Origins, and Bloodworth, and he’s colored titles such as Star Wars: Adventures, Orphan Black, and Red City. He graduated with a Masters in Illustration from the Academy of Art in San Francisco, and taught comic book illustration courses there as well.
Chris has currently working on a webcomic called Chris & Christina. A humor strip (very) loosely based around his real life and family. You can see it www.chrisandchristinacomic.com. You should read it. It’s pretty funny.

You can see more of Chris’ work on his website (www.chrisfenoglio.com) and follow him on Twitter and Instagram @chrisfenoglio.

Template 

You may have already saved this from the FB group page, but here it is again just in case: The template for making 1.25in diameter buttons. You'll print it out or just open it in your app of choice.
If like me, you haven't really thought that much about making some buttons, isn't it time you sat down and roughed out some ideas?

It’s time to start finalizing your arrangements to get things done for the Sidewalk Comics Fest. You will want to check out the Resources Page on this blog where there are links to a number of vendors:

In-class Exercise

If you miss class today, or simply want to do this digitally, here's the form:

 Earlier I taught you guys, some anyway, how to repeat windows and such things, getting the spacing right as the windows recede into the distance. We learned both equal division, like the windows on the left, and the "ABA Pattern,"wherein two different intervals alternates on the right.

We'll get this nailed today. It's a useful trick, that yields very satisfying, realistic results. Some of you missed that session.

See you soon,

John

The Brieturn!

You guys remember Brie Spielmann, who gave terrific talk last year on using the internet and other resources to get paying work and promote your art. I've invited her to the Sidewalk Comics Fest to speak on the same subject in a 2018 way.
She's tentatively scheduled for the 4-5pm hour.
A few of you may be stuck at your tables, though I'm hoping we can line up folks to table-sit as needed.
Any artist friend you invite will want to hear her, I suspect!
She's a blonde now, btw, in case you didn't recognize her right away...

This Week's Class

Saturday's class will revolve around in-class exercises. They'll be like quizzes that we get to help each other on. :)

Fest Update

Very happy that our Sidewalk Comics Fest guest list has grown to include:

• Sucker and Rattler scribe Jason McNamara...
• My Little Pony artist Katie Longua...
• Not Forgotten Contributor Matt Harding and...
• The uncanny caricaturing of Pete McDonnell!

I've also invited multitalented Brie Spielmann, who gave a terrific talk on using the internet in one of our sessions last year. So we can pick her brain some more! Hope she accepts.

Day by day this thing looms, if not larger, realer!

I hope you will invite your friends, families and supporters of all kinds.

Ciao for nao,
John
