What brought Sean to the Art League?

A working comic artist whose narrative drawings have shown across the Southeast. Teaches sequential art and zine workshops. Sean has been on our teaching roster since 2021 — 5 years now — working out of our Murray Hill studio.

How would you describe their practice?

Sean's work centers on comics and the patient material study it asks for. As Sean puts it: "Make the worst comic you can. Then a better one. That's the whole syllabus."

What can students expect in the classroom?

Sean runs a working studio more than a lecture. Sessions open with a short demonstration, then dedicated practice time with one-on-one feedback, and close with a brief, generous group critique. No experience is required; returning students pick up where they left off.

What's next?
