Thursday Night Art Class with Josh Bayer
Check out these comic class notes from Charles Putris-Sirtup collected from his Comix Art studies with Josh Bayer! From the oldie daily strip comics like Herriman's Krazy Kat to Little Orphan Annie by Harold Grey, the Golden to the Silver age in classic comics, to the latest in comic art and graphic novels, we cover the waterfront!
Is it an art instruction manual, a graphic novel, or a collection of random notes from Josh Bayer's Thursday Night Art Class? You decide!
