Making Comics Gutter Talk Episode 18 – Week 1 Get A Grasp! MOOC Panel

Summary: We recently wrapped up a four week long Massive Open Online Course (MOOC) called “Get A Grasp!” that covered everything from ideation to pitching your idea to networking. Each week we also had a live online panel with amazing artists and professionals in the industry. What you’re about to listen to is the Week 1 panel, which came out with all cylinders firing. The topics, the guests, the conversation, all of it was well worth the price of admission. Which, oh by the way, was free. Just like this podcast. All in the name of art and comic creation. Alright, bring it in.
