Appearance Added: Savannah!

in News by DaveKellett

Sunday, September 14, 2008 - 12:26 PM

I am so excited to announce this: The Savannah College of Art & Design has invited my buddy Scott Kurtz and I down for an awesome engagement. On Monday, October 13th, we'll be visiting various art classes to give spot lectures, critiques, and some hands-on instruction on the creation of sequential art and comics.

Then, on Tuesday, October 14th at 8 PM, we'll be giving a free public talk at SCAD's 1,100-seat Trustees Theater on the art and business of Webcomics (...and more broadly, how all visual artists can build their career online).

Seriously: You have got to look at this theater.....

...What an amazing venue! And Scotty and I are pretty fun public speakers, so it should make for a good night all around.

After the talk, we'll of course be signing and sketching in copies of "How to Make Webcomics", as well as PvP books and Sheldon books.

Come on out if you're within drivin' distance -- I almost never get to go to the South, so I hope a lot of Southern Sheldonistas will come out and say "hi"!

(Scott put together that fantastic promo poster, featuring Savannah's Forsythe Park Fountain. Check out a full-shot of his fantastic background drawing.)

You guys need to come to San Francisco, lol... I'm too far for any of the places you go.

Will there be a video?

Dave,
Will you and Scott be recording this show for WW? Y'know, for those of us who can't make it to Georgia for the show?

Man, I'd really love to go... and I might. I live about 5 hours north in NC, but I know this is about as close as you guys will get this direction. We'll see... either way, looks great and I hope you guys have fun. :)

WOW! How I wish I could go. I graduated from SCAD a few years back. Trustees Theater is super nice - you guys will have a blast, and I'm sure there will be a HUGE turnout. Be sure to grab a pizza at Vinnie Van Go-Go's while you're in town.

Living at the GSU Commons and being approximately 1 hour and ten minutes away from the Trustees Theater appears to have some benefits, after all. I just might even buy one of those books off of ya, Dave. Lord knows you've put up with my late night musings long enough to warrant the $15 I conveniently have here in my wallet for your signature, a handshake and possibly, maybe a photo. Just because you're that awesome. If I could weasel myself into getting you to draw a small Flaco somewhere in the front page's blank space, I'd be in heaven. :D

There's a guy at SCAD named Tyson Hesse that does Boxer Hockey [fireball20xl.com]. Very funny (when updated).

I <3 you guys for coming down here! I got to put this on my calendar. I'm a struggling visual artist that needs a good talk. :)

I have to concur that this would make either a great video or a WW episode. Something to think about, at least.

That'll be up to the Arts College. With the honorarium, they'll legally own the contents of *that* talk.

Wow! This is exciting. I'll actually be in town that weekend, but unfortunately I can't stay for Tuesday evening. Is there anything else of a more public venue y'all will be doing? I would love to see you and Scott give a talk, and as a Houstonian attending Georgia Tech, that gets fairly difficult.

P.S. You really should come to Dragon*Con, even though the artists section is pretty weak. It needs to be bolstered with personalities like Halfpixel!
