We’ve recently thrown the lever on a new Kickstarter campaign to help out with the production of P. Craig Russell’s Guide to Graphic Storytelling—a web series (and companion DVD) consisting of educational videos that teach the art of graphic storytelling, also known as “Comics.”
Acclaimed illustrator (and longtime pal) P. Craig Russell and I are teaming up to try to increase the awareness of comics as a serious art form, and to teach processes and techniques that assist in the creation of effective graphic storytelling.
Craig is a master storyteller who has four decades of experience in the field of comics and graphic novels. With credits like Doctor Strange, Elric, The Sandman, The Ring of the Nibelung, Conan, Coraline and The Dream Hunters, suffice to say that he knows his stuff!
The Graphic Storytelling project is actually a bit of a spin-off from my last feature-length project, Night Music: The Art of P. Craig Russell. One of the most well-received portions of that production—Craig’s expert and engaging demonstrations of panel-to-panel storytelling—served as the genesis of this educational project.
