Big Apple Con to Host "Mastering Narrative Technique" seminar with Jim Steranko

Sunday November 17th writer and graphic artist Jim Steranko will host a seminar as part of the Big Apple Con festivities on narrative technique that may be useful for understanding the conceptual stages of any visual or graphic story project.

From the indispensable wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jim_Steranko):

"Steranko earned lasting acclaim for his innovations in sequential art during the Silver Age of comic books, particularly his infusion of surrealism, op art, and graphic design into the medium. His work has been published in many countries and his influence on the field has remained strong since his comics heyday."

The Big Apple Con event will be held at the Penn Plaza Pavilion, on 7th Avenue at 33rd Street, directly across from Madison Square Garden, and like all 'cons, promises to be a Harry Potter of an adventure just walking through the door.

Registration is a little steep at a fee of $50 for the seminar, but includes a full day's admission to the convention on Sunday, Nov. 18 and a signed Steranko art portfolio.

As I walked by the garden today the Ghostbusters had just arrived with a Storm Trooper out front, so it promises to be a party-friendly and informal crowd with a unique chance to ask Steranko whatever visual narrative question your heart desires.
