BOX ART TUESDAY!

I had to mail out a package so here's today's box art: a pulpy p.i. The color did not want to stick to the piece with tape on it, which is a bummer. I enjoy adding these little doodles to orders I ship out direct from my website.

THE WRAP UP-- BOBBY'S VISIT TO OCAF!

The class.

I visited with the art class at OCAF, the Oconee Cultural Arts Foundation Art Center in Watkinsville, GA on Saturday, April 14th. It was a lot of fun. My friend, Alan Black hosts this class and I was thrilled to talk to them about how comics are created.

In the photos, the faces of the kids in the class were obscured at the request of the instructor due to permission issues. I have also chosen to respect his wishes int he photos I took at the event.

Alan Black, the class instructor.

I gave a brief presentation about creating comics and then worked with the students to help them create and draw a 6 panel story of their very own using their character, Binky The Clown. Binky is an evil entity that the kids have fought off before in previous class projects. In this story, Binky escapes hell to get his revenge.

Those kids are very creative.
And happy. Check out those smiles.

If You Can Hold a Pencil... You Can Cartoon
With Robert Alan Black, PhD
The goal in the class is to help you begin to create your own cartoon characters, panels, strips and have fun doing it during each class. Students will focus on cartoons while learning to draw or improve their drawing skills. Class exercises, challenges & one-on-one time will also help you begin to capture your own humor in drawings.

THIS MONTH'S PATREON FREE ART GIVEAWAY REVEALED!

Here it is without any
computer touch ups.

Each month, I draw a winner for a free piece if art by me. May's winner was author Darrell Grizzle, who requested a shot of himself in a horror setting, possibly with a giant spider or cemetery feel that he could use on his upcoming Facebook Author Page. Likenesses aren't my strongest suit, but I think I captured Darrell fairly well. I hope you enjoy, sir and I apologize for the delay in getting it to you. I've been fighting deadlines and you know how pesky those little buggars can get.

The June drawing will happen next week and there's still plenty of time for you to get in on the running to win. All you have to do is pledge $5 or more a month at www.patreon.com/BobbyNash and you're in the running. You'll also receive at least one free ebook a month, sometimes more. The support of my Patrons helps me continue to write full time so I can produce more books.

Thanks again, Darrell.
