Kids and Professional Artists Unite for Lake Erie Ink’s 6th Annual Kids’ Comic Con
Lake Erie Ink will be hosting its 6th Annual Kids’ Comic Con Saturday, March 17, 2017 from 9:30am-3pm. At this all day event, youth of all ages will have the chance to attend workshops with well-known comic creators. Workshops will cover both aspects of comic creation – drawing and writing – as well as the ever-popular “create your own comic character in clay.”
Lake Erie Ink is excited to welcome (or welcome back!) the following guest artists and writers to this year’s Kids’ Comic Con:
- Kate Atherton
- Sequoia Bostick and Amalia Degirolamo of Vagabond Comics
- Lyndsey Bryan
- Miguel and Michelle Hernandez, creators of the 4th Hanzo
- Gilberto Rivera
- Karen Sandstrom
- Lee Smith, creator of historical comics about Ohio
- Michael San Giacomo, Plain Dealer comic book reporter
- Shawny Walthaw
- and more!
Doors open at 9:30am, and workshops begin at 10am. Costumes are encouraged! Admission is $10 at the door, and scholarships are available. Lunch will be sold on-site or kids may bring their own. Comics, graphic novels and t-shirts will be for sale. Adults are welcome if accompanied by a child; teachers are welcome with a staff ID. Register at lakeerieink.org/register or by calling 216-320-4757.
Last year, this one-of-a-kind comic convention for young writers and artists drew nearly 150 kids and teens from all across Northeast Ohio.
