Creating Comics About Trans Women
This event has been cancelled.
In this workshop, cartoonist Emma Jayne leads you through drawing a four panel comic about trans women! She'll talk you through the process of writing and drawing characters of your own: what tropes to avoid, things that transgender characters written by cisgender creators often lack, and the nuance of visually portraying transgender bodies in a faithful manner.
Materials (pens, pencils, paper, etc.) will be provided, but participants are welcome to bring their own.
Emma Jayne is an Ignatz Award-winning cartoonist and creator of books Trans Girls Hit the Town and Dreameater. She's a trans woman passionate about making comics about trans folks with smatterings of punk rock and horror thrown in for good measure.
This event is part of the ongoing series, Cool Work x Interesting People.
