Whether your pet is cheeky, energetic, lazy, loyal or anything in between — they are all true characters! If you think your pet should star in their own comic, here’s your chance.

About The Workshop:
Let’s unleash our creativity and celebrate the love we have for our furry friends by turning them into a work of pop art!
In this workshop, you will create a portrait of your pet in a pop art, comic book illustration style. I will demonstrate in digital art so you can learn the basics of digital painting, or join us with a traditional painting or drawing medium of your choice.
Don’t have a pet? You can pick an adoptable animal from the ASPCA shelter to paint, remember to share your artwork to help their visibility and increase their chance of finding a forever home.
