Incorporating the everyday, artist Aaron Billings draws on the world around him to tell his stories. Join him and other creative thinkers for this online introductory course to comic creation and learn unique methods to use in your own storytelling.

Aaron will lead you through different creative methods of comic making each week using fun exercises that focus on the individual's daily rituals. Participants will have the opportunity to explore their own personal style and become storytellers themselves.
