In this workshop, participants will develop a 1-2 page comic about the idea of ‘work’. Participants will be encouraged to develop a short auto-biographical comic that relates to a specific aspect, memory or philosophy relating to their day-job, or to their labour. In the workshop we will explore an overview of auto-bio comics, brainstorm a topic each, and develop a brief script and plan.Participants will either leave the session with a finished comic, or rough sketches and thumbnails that they can later develop into finished artwork.
