Creating cartoons and comics at the library

Henrietta Hankin Branch Library will be capping off a week of fun and activities for National Libraries Week this year with a visit from  Jason Rodriguez, a comic illustrator and drawing instructor.

On Saturday, April 12, from 11 a.m. to noon, there will be an introduction to the secrets of making cartoons and comics for those who want to learn about the importance of moving the reader from one panel to another and how drawing emotive characters tells a story.

Rodrigues is a comic illustrator and drawing instructor. He currently teaches drawing to children and adults in group classes and private instruction throughout the greater Philadelphia region.  He is also a Sketch card artist for Upper Deck and Topps.  His love for art came from reading comic books as a kid and now he wants everyone to experience the joy of drawing and visual storytelling.
