SUMMARY:Making a Webcomic Site
DESCRIPTION:In the current climate of online platforms forcing creatives to fit in restrictive molds\, there’s no better time to create your own website for your comic! Ren Taylor will be hosting the present\, where we’ll go over the pros and cons about owning a website\, along with a live how-to on getting a basic webcomic site set up with WordPress and Comix Cleric (along with a few tips on customization)! \nThis event is aimed towards those who are new to owning and maintaining a website\, web design for comics\, or those who are interested in migrating to a different Content Management System (CMS) for their webcomic. Some of these concepts have some crossover for those who want their own website for their portfolio as well!

SUMMARY:What Art School Didn't Teach You 201
DESCRIPTION:Quite often art schools fail to teach how to take your art and make it a career\, but you can learn that knowledge and be empowered! In this workshop\, we’re going beyond the basics we showcased at NIF 2025 and dive deep into different aspects of building yourself up as a self published artist from marketing\, budgets and finance\, business types\, and more! This is a great workshop for recent grads\, cartoonists early in their career\, or those who need a refresher. \nThe talk will run for 30 to 45 minutes\, with time for Q&A that will round out the presentation to an hour in length. \nHosted by Yuki Clarke and Kelci D Crawford. \nNIF Staff Note: Catch a replay of last year’s “What Art School Didn’t Teach You” here on the Co-op’s YouTube Channel! \nClick here to watch this year’s panel on Youtube.
