New How-To Cartooning Videos!

I am very excited to announce a new venture!

We are creating a collection of “how-to” videos for the Professor Garfield website: www.professorgarfield.org.

Professor Garfield is an awesome, interactive site for kids that teaches all about comics, literacy, and creativity.

The videos are being produced in conjunction with Media Boomtown, a documentary production house that focuses on art-themed projects. Each instructional piece will be fun, energetic, and most of all, informative.

We'll be making three videos. They will cover the topics: What Is A Comic, Where Do Cartoonists Get Their Ideas, and How To Draw A Comic Book Page.

I love traveling around the country talking to students about comics and creativity. These videos are a great way for me to reach even more kids and share even more information.

They will be featured on the “Comics Lab Extreme” section of professorgarfield.org.

The Professor Garfield Foundation learning portal is a fun interactive online environment where children can safely explore, learn and creatively express themselves.
The web site receives about ½ million users a month and gets about 8-10 million page views.
