Free Cartooning Workshops at JFK

By Bartimaeus 09/02/10 at 2:12PM

Hi all,
We're having a FREE series of Cartooning Workshops all this month at the JFK Library.

The workshops are taught by local artist and author, Age Scott (check him out on myspace at www.myspace.com/age_scott). Age has self-published and illustrated over 50 comic and children’s books and has taught art in the bay area and New York.

Participants will learn cartooning from Age, get a chance to meet other local cartoonists, and will create their own comic book by the end of the class.

The workshops will take place on Saturdays throughout September: September 4, 11, and 25, and October 2 (with a break on September 18). All workshops from 2:30-4:00pm in the Joseph Room at the JFK Library.

I AM A HUMAN BEING
By Noelle C

I am a human being...
                     I am not a possession
I am a human being...
                     I am not a prisoner
I am a human being...
                     I have a right to have friends
I am a human being...
                     I have a right to be HAPPY
I am a human being...
                     I have a right to say NO to abuse
I am a human being...
                     I don't want to live with fear and threats
I am a human being...
                     I don't want to hide to be safe
I am a human being...
                     I have a right to have my feelings heard
I am a human being...
                     I don't want to have my dreams crushed
I am a human being...
                     I have a right for my parakeets to be respected
I am a human being....
                     I don't want to be mistreated when I have done nothing wrong
I am a human being...
                     I don't want to be neglected
I am a human being...
                     I WILL FOLLOW MY DREAMS!!!!!!
I am a human being...
                     I will help and respect others
I am a human being...
                     I will be FREE
I AM HUMAN BEING
