Maker Talk: Comics with Mathew New

Taking comics from initial idea to finished book.

Artist Mathew New, author of "Billy Johnson and His Duck are Explorers", talks about the path they took to turn their self-published series into a traditionally published book.

Comic artist Mathew New is the author and illustrator of Billy Johnson and his Duck are Explorers, a middle grade graphic novel about the Indiana Jones-inspired adventures of a human and his best friend, a talking duck. During this lecture, New will take you through the process of creating a finished comic, from pencil sketch to inks and color. New will also touch on what it takes to publish a comic, having both self-published their own single issues and worked with a traditional publisher to create Billy Johnson.

This talk will take place on the A-Level of the Martin Luther King Jr. Library. In-person seating is limited, so be sure to register to reserve a seat. ASL interpretation will be provided. This lecture will also be streamed live to DC Public Library's YouTube channel.
