Toronto Public Library COMICS JAM!!

For the past four weeks, I've been hanging out at Albion Library 

in Rexdale and Parliament Street Library in Regent Park 

making comics with teens!

We've had a dedicated crew at each library 

and made a ton of comics.

We read a bunch of graphic novels and talked about our favourites.

We covered layout and design, how to develop character 

and storyline...

... learned new drawing techniques to capture character, expression, setting and environment...

 And got on the photocopier and made all our comics 

into a load of zines!

 I'm so proud of all the teens I worked with who made comics with honesty and passion, and had a whole lot of fun doing it!

Up next in November, Thorncliffe & St. James Town

Keep an eye out for a TPL COMICS JAM near you!
