Comic-Thon 2011
Posted by David Mazure | Filed under Uncategorized
This past Fall semester 2011, the Student Art Association (for which I am the Faculty Advisor) received a special grant to conduct its first ever 12-Hour Comic-Thon. A 12-Hour comic drawing event – the goal: to draw one comic book page per hour for 12 hours straight. A grueling affair to say the least, but it was a huge success. Every participant had everything they needed – all supplies necessary to draw comics and enough food and drink to last 12 hours. East Stroudsburg University student Anna Maino was the first to complete one whole 12-page comic book story — congratulations Anna! Here are some pictures from the event:
We even made the local paper!
Read below for most of the text appearing on the poster (designed by Steve SImorka – thanks Steve!):
Get our your coffee! Local artists, art enthusiasts, and/or comic book lovers who want to test their creativity
and push their artistic limits are invited to this years 12-Hour Comic Event sponsored by the Student Art
Association of East Stroudsburg University. The day of extreme cartooning allows 12 straight hours for
amateur and professional cartoonists of any age to challenge themselves to write, draw, and letter an entire
12-page comic story in 12 hours (one page per hour).
Creating comic art can be lonely work; the 12-Hour Comic Event provides an opportunity to stretch creative
muscles and get invigorated by working alongside (or with) a group of fellow artists.
The event is all about sharing the love of comic book creation, and it draws in young and old, experienced and
novice. Don’t let lack of experience or materials keep you away — previous participants have been as young
as 7 and as old as 97!
