LION'S TOOTH COMICS SCHOOL
Summer sessions for kids and teens (ages 10-17)
We are pleased host the first sessions of Lion's Tooth Comics School. For one week participating kids and teens (ages 10 to 17) work on a comic story from beginning to end, from writing, to thumbnails, to pencils and inking. The stories from each session are then collected in a zine launched during a special event for friends and family (and the public!) at Lion's Tooth.
Instruction is provided by Cris Siqueira with assistance from Shelly McClone-Carriere (both Lion's Tooth co-owners). Cris is a cartoonist and multimedia artist, and a 2023/24 Ruth Arts Mary Nohl Alumni Fellow.
Summer sessions of Lion's Tooth Comics School are SOLD OUT, more workshops will be announced soon!

On August 22 we are discussing LUBA AND HER FAMILY, by Gilbert Hernandez.
From the publisher: In the tenth volume of The Complete Love and Rockets Library, and the fourth collecting writer-artist Gilbert Hernandez's Palomar main storyline, his sprawling family saga moves to the United States, where newly immigrated Luba and her sisters, body-builder Petra and therapist/film star Fritz, find their families' and friends' lives becoming more and more intertwined. As the three sisters have "memories of sweet youth," the next generation finds the spotlight: Luba's adult daughter, Doralís, emcees the proceedings in her role as mischievous host of a children's TV show, while Petra's little girl, Venus, has adventures with her aunt Fritz and her best friend Yoshio. At her mother's urging, Venus also writes missives to her fierce, one-armed cousin Casimira, who's back in Palomar. In these stories from 1997–2001 — never before collected together — Venus tells it like it is!
Next up: ESPERANZA, by Jaime Hernandez, discussion on September 19.
And here's the complete schedule for the year:

ARTIST BIO
After graduating with a degree in fine arts from Carroll University, and beginning the process of showing my work locally and beyond, I took a hard turn down the path untaken. Within the past few years, I have finished homeschooling the last of my two children. Making art always remained a part of my daily life, and drawings and paintings often occupied precious spared moments. However, for the past sixteen years, I too have gone back to school. Back to basics. Back to familiar things now seen with older eyes— following my students down roads of interest and finding a few new ones of my own along the way. I suppose the varied subjects and interests depicted in my work were born from these amazing years.
