using tried and true principles of positive youth development, truth,
justice and the human way. It's all about learning to use your art to

at wonderful places like the New York Design Museum, the New York
Public Library, the Bronx Museum of the Arts, ASPIRA of New York and
the Hetrick-Martin Institute.
And you know something? I've learned much more about cartooning,
the culture and the world from these kids than I could ever hope to
teach them.
last
classes at the
Hetrick-Martin
Institute.
I took the kids to
DC Comics, the
Mecca of
cartooning and
publishing for
many a young
nerd. They had a
great time.
Thanks especially
to Joan Hilty,
Editor Extreme, for
allowing us to
learn and drool.
You go girl!
(now please read my pitches)
The classes
always end
with a
presentation;
from
business
models for
their
comic book
universes
and
media
companies,
displays of
their best
work,
Giant Robot
designs,
clay
maquettes
of their
original
character
designs, etc...
They never
fail to
impress me
with their
creativity
and
progression.
Not only do
they learn
to use the
fundamental
tools of
cartooning
to create
comics and
character
designs,
but also to
see, interpret
and
investigate
all popular
culture.
They learn
the
best way
to
change
the world
is to
change
the culture.
