Do you have a story to tell in words and images? 7000 BC, New Mexico's own comics group, is offering a two-day workshop on the comics creation process. Over the course of two Saturdays, this comic book intensive will cover everything from initial concept through scripting, penciling, inking, and printing, with an emphasis towards self-publishing. Participants will receive instruction, personal critique, and create a short comic during the two 4 hour sessions.

The Comics Creation Workshop will run Saturday, July 18 and 25th, from 1 to 5 pm. Cost is $80. For more information, email jeff@7000bc.org or call 262-2952. Ages 12 to adult.

We had a great time at the inaugural first Cowtown Comix Fest, which brought together some terrific comics creators and readers at Tattered Cover Bookstore in Denver. Many thanks to John for putting it all together and to all the people who stopped by our table. A great time with some wonderful people, and we look forward to next year's!

Some photos of the event (and the subsequent outing) at the 7000 BC Flickr site, and John's collecting them at the Cowtown MySpace page as well.
