This past weekend the Prime Vice team conducted a live workshop to teach people in our community how to create comics. The class was capped at 15 people however we had an overflow. We were able to accommodate 21 people. We were happy to have such a great and eager turnout which ranged from teenagers to grown adults. The workshop was open to the public so we also broadcasted the workshop live on Facebook so that people from all around the world could tune in.
The workshop was a success. We appreciate the opportunity to be able to work with wonderful people, build community and spread the joy of creating comics. We look forward to doing more of this type of work in the future.

In 2016 we started the #PVSKETCH drawing challenge. The intention was to collect drawings from artists and post them on social media to create an online gallery and community with the hashtag pvsketch. It's a collaborative promotion where the artist gets to draw what they want, include their social media handle and personal hashtag on the sketch sheet that features our social media and hashtag as well.
We started this campaign at Prime Vice Studios' first convention appearance which was Heroes Con 2016 in Charlotte, North Carolina. We collected over 40 drawings featuring eager kids' drawings and the amazing talent found in the Artist Alley. We appreciate all the submissions and hope to continue growing this community over time. Please glance through the gallery and find new favorite artists! Peace, Loso PS. For more info on Heroes Con checkout www.heroesonline.com/heroescon/ The campaign is ongoing so please feel free to join the #pvsketch community! follow #pvsketch twitter Follow #pvsketch Instagram One of Prime Vice's ongoing campaigns is the #pvsketch challenge. We hand an artist one of our sketch sheets and they draw whatever they want on it. There is a space to put in your social media handle and your own hashtag. We then post the drawings on social media and tag them. It is a way to promote both the artist and ourselves while creating an online community of artists. At our visit to Columbus, Ohio for Sol-Con 2017 and Columbus Cartoon Crossroads (CXC 2017), we collected over 80 drawings ranging from elementary school kids to living legends of the comic industry.
