I had a blast this summer presenting cartooning programs in schools, museums and shown here; libraries. Imaginon in Uptown Charlotte is the result of the combined forces of the Children's Theater and the Public Library of Charlotte-Mecklenburg County. It is an awesome "kids-only" library and a performance space with several theaters, a cool teen area and a studio to get your hands on real stop-motion animation equipment to create your own movies! If only such a place existed when I was young. I had the opportunity to present my mini-cartooning camp at Imaginon for kids 8-12 who had pre-registered. Some of these young artists had pretty impressive skills, and one had a portfolio filled with pages and pages of drawings. They were definitely interested in creating their own comics and stories. It was really cool. Here are some photos taken by children's librarian and all around nice guy Bill Corder. Please contact me for information about my programs and workshops, I'd love talk to you about a visit to your school or library! 'Till next time....keep your pencils sharpened!
