The Comix Academy is brand new, but it addresses an old question:

 

"How do I make it better?"

 

From comics storytelling to concept art, fantasy illustration to storyboards, digital imagery to oil painting--learning, growing and improving are the watchwords of serious professionals and students. The Comix Academy exists to help any who love to create pictures and/or tell stories improve and polish their current work.

 

Through interaction with working professionals, seeing what they do and how they do it, Comix Academy students will leave more informed and inspired than when they arrived. They will gain "the inside scoop" about the industry through their mentors, develop camaraderie with their fellow students, and find the confidence to go forth and make their dream projects a reality.

 

Based on feedback received, there will be a formatting change in the schedule.

 

On Day One, Monday, July 18th, 2011, Mentors will begin demos and presentations with a social event to end the first day.

 

On Day Two, Tuesday, July 19th, 2011, demos will conclude and there will be panels and portfolio reviews with Mentors and Editors to conclude the event.

 

All workshops will be recorded and will be included with event fees.

 

The two-day workshop will cost $200. During Comic International Con 2010, there will be a Con Special. There will also be early bird registration heading up to Comic International Con 2011. Please watch the site for future announcements and information about Comix Academy 2011.
