Comic Book Workshops are a truly unique experience. No where else can you
learn more about comic book skills, techniques, and theory in one place
then Pop Culture Con’s Comic Creators Workshops. These Workshops allow
you more then the occasional portfolio review. Instead of imaging what you
need to do to get better, you will be doing it while having real comic
professionals guiding you in a small classroom environment. With their
experience as your asset, visualizing your success in the comic book
industry has never seemed so obtainable.
Workshops will
take place during Pop Culture Con between September 18th and 20th of 2009. You may purchase a workshop now, guaranteeing a spot in the
class. No refunds will be allowed unless there is a change of Instructor,
General Subject Matter, or a conflict in scheduling. A conflict in
scheduling occurs when an individual has purchased tickets for two
workshops that have been scheduled at the same time. Pop Culture Con will
do it’s best to accommodate all Workshops pre-sales, but cannot
guarantee non-conflicting schedules.
