Laura Park

[somethingusefulfromflorida]

I read a Diary of a Wimpy Kid knockoff in like 2011 or 2012 about a kid who decides to break every rule his hardass principal made up, and (spoiler) his best friend is the ghost of his dead baby brother. I couldn't remember the name, so I googled it and learned it was written by James Fucking Patterson! The airport book guy! The guy who has ten or twelve shelves all to himself at every bookstore in the country because he churns out one a week (or rather, his ghostwriters do; he's not an author anymore, he's a brand). I had no clue he put his name on wrote children's books.

My money says Chris Tebbetts did all the actual writing. Just look how small his name is! And the illustrator doesn't get any credit, her name is nowhere to be seen: it's Laura Park, by the way.

Laura Park Workshop: Lettering, Watercolor, AND MORE

Hey! A few of you have asked about what Laura’s planning on covering, so here are a few snippets:

Lettering: Laura will take guide you through the basics of developing an alphabet. Then, take you beyond the basics to consider how lettering gives an extra emotional depth to comics and lettering a compositional tool.

Color: Aside from watercolor demos, Laura will talk on color’s role in telling a story. She’ll walk you through, “Things like using color because it can offer a different and (maybe) more immediate connection to your story. And how color can be used for rhythm.”

Memory: Whether you’re an autobio cartoonist or not, you still use memory to create your comics. Laura will talk about her own work and experience creating comics from memory. Different exercises will explore different ways of narrating memories.

We expect it to sell out, so sign up today!
