I will be doing a Comic Book Workshop at Tall Tales books here in Victoria BC the Saturday. Check out their site for more Info!

“A Comic Book Workshop with Mike Deas on Saturday, March 20th from 10am to 12pm! Do you know a budding artist who loves drawing and wants to learn how to illustrate their very own comic book? If your creative one is 9 or older, they can join local comic book artist Mike Deas for a workshop at Tall Tales Books! Mike is the artist for the very popular Graphic Guide Adventures series which includes Wild Ride, Ramp Rats, Soccer Sabotage, Media Meltdown, and the upcoming Food Fight! Mike will cover character design, composition, perspective, Deasand storytelling in the comic book medium. The class will be on Saturday March 20th from 10am to 12pm and is $20 per student (this includes a sketchbook and pencil).”

I will be teaching 2 classes at the Paint Box School of Art in Fernwood Village.

March 8th – 12th – Ages 6-10, 9-12 pm
Mike will teach students the basics of drawing people, animals and landscape using fun exercise and games! The students will then develop a short comic strip with an original story and characters. There will also be time for outside play and snacks!

March 8th – 12th – Ages 11-16, 1-4 pm
Students will expand on their drawing knowledge and learn new techniques to create depth, perspective, and expressive characters. They will also design an original colour comic book cover with a short comic inside!
