SCHOOL VISITS
I have over 20 years of experience delivering presentations to schools and community organizations!
As a creative from the time I learned how to walk, I love to encourage kids to indulge their imaginations and pursue their creative endeavors! I can provide a variety of presentations that will engage your students and fit almost any schedule. Here's a quick look at a few of my presentations:
THE CARTOONIST LIFE
This is your typical "career day" presentation where I discuss WHY I loves cartoons, HOW I learned to make them, and WHAT I've made during my 20 years of professional cartooning. Depending on time, I can provide a drawing demonstration and squeeze in a Q&A (it's always a good idea to have your students prepare questions beforehand!).
TIME: 30-45 minutes
IDEAL AUDIENCE: Kindergarten-12th grade
CREATE-A-STORY
With the help of your students, I will create a unique illustrated story and draw it all in real time! Not only will your students create the characters and conflict, but they'll get a quick lesson on story structure along the way. I've delivered this presentation to groups of all sizes; from five students in a classroom, to one hundred students in an auditorium! No matter the size of the audience, this presentation has been a hit EVERY. SINGLE. TIME.
TIME: 20-30 minutes
IDEAL AUDIENCE: Kindergarten-6th grade
6-HOUR COMIC BOOK DAY
During this presentation, your students will get a crash course in comic book production. I will teach your students the basics in character creation and design, plot and conflict, and comic book layout. It's a fast-paced presentation designed to fill a typical 6-7 hour school day. At the end of the day, your students will have completed the artwork for their very own 6-page comic book (or at least have a bunch of original drawings to help them complete the next great graphic novel!).
TIME: 6-7 hours (including bathroom and lunch breaks)
IDEAL AUDIENCE: 5th-12th grade art students

Regardless of the topic or venue, you can expect the following from my presentations:
Lots of humor! I love to laugh, and it's important to me that my audiences have a good time!
Loads of pop-culture references! I'm a geek. It is what it is. Hopefully your students like Star Wars and video games.
Passion! If I'm talking about it, I'm excited about it! And I've been told my excitement is contagious!
