NEW LOCATION…
Posted: 10-03-2014 Filed under: Uncategorized Leave a commentMARCH 2014: We’re in the process of switching COMICS WORKSHOP over to our NEW location at www.marekbennett.com/comicsworkshop …

(THIS site, ComicsWorkshop.wordpress.com, will remain as an archive of the past decade of posts, so all old links to it should still work. However, we’ll no longer update materials here — newer versions will all appear at the http://www.MarekBennett.com site.)
