Oeming, Bagge, Grell, and More Join Graphic Novel Panel at Seattle Artists Guild, February 5th!

I just found out about this event being held in Seattle, through a Tweet by Michael Avon Oeming. It would appear that the Seattle Art Guild will be holding a panel on the evening of February 5th, which is set to discuss how to develop and publish a graphic novel. The panel features several industry experts, including Michael Avon Oeming, Petter Bagge, Mike Grell, Phil Foglio, Jason Janicki, and Leigh Kellogg.

If you are an aspiring writer or artist, and reside in the Seattle area, I would highly recommend going to this event. I imagine there’s going to be some fantastic advice given out, and the expects on hand will also be doing portfolio reviews. I wish that I could go myself, being tantalizingly close to Seattle, up here in Victoria BC.
