TAB Meeting and Comic Drawing Workshop!

Face Front, True Believers!

Twelve -- count 'em, TWELVE -- amazing artists arrived for the latest NOR/LIL TAB team-up, along with our terrifyingly talented TAB reps Diane and Terry from NOR, and Steve and Aaron from LIL! Kyle Puttkammer from the Galactic Quest comic book store came to the Norcross Branch on Thursday, April 24 for a cosmically captivating comic drawing workshop! This electrifying event began with a scintillating superhero secret identity match-up quiz (Kyle was impressed with Steve's choice of the obscure "Jennifer Walters") and announcements about LIL's new teen blog (lilburnteens.blogspot.com) and the Teen Tech Week writing contest! Kyle leaped into action, teaching the attending artists (including Terry, Steve, and Aaron!) all the steps on how to draw by observing the world around us and the steps it takes to turn those drawings into a full-fledged comic book! Lots of the attending teens had some really fantastic artistic talent (see attached pics) and will likely be chronicling the adventures of Superman, Spider-Man, or She-Hulk (aka Jennifer Walters) in the next few years! Stay tuned for our next TAB event: same TAB time, same TAB channel!

Excelsior!
Steve

P.S. One of our talented teens from the workshop has his own site and is working on his own comic. Be sure to check out his work at ryku08.deviantart.com!
