Long-time Pixar animator Bobby Podesta is out with his first graphic novel, North for the Winter. Podesta has a bunch of process drawings—bits used to create the final product—and he came to us wanting to auction them for a charity. Other members of our community like Mac Barnett & Shawn Harris, Briana Loewinsohn, and Wahab Algarmi are also donating art for the auction.
Bobby and some other artists will also talk about how they make their graphic novels. And the proceeds from the art auction will go to Chapter 510, our local storytelling and bookmaking space for young people.
This event is designed to be fun for families. We'll have light tables and some cool drawing opportunities for graphic novel-loving kids.
Vibes: Arty, auctiony, good feeling-y
