With support of the Pollination Project we have been able to launch The Prime Vice Fresh Voices Comic Creation Workshops.
Our first set of workshops took place at The Wren’s Nest. A cultural center that celebrates the timeless legacy of the Brer Rabbit tales and promotes the art of storytelling in all of its contemporary forms. Below is footage from our workshops which took place on June 25, 2018 & July 23, 2018 Prime Vice Studios has been sponsored by the Pollination Project to provide comic creation workshops in the Metro-Atlanta area for the next 9 months. These are free workshops provided with supplies and workbook taught by Loso Perez and Ananya Vahal. The mission is to teach comic book creation workshops at organizations, art centers, schools, etc. to develop talent and diverse voices through the sequential art medium. So far we have booked several time dates at the following locations and more will be featured soon. If you would like to host one of our exclusive workshops or would like be a sponsor please contact us at [email protected]. We’d be happy to setup one of our community building workshops with your organization.

Along with other significant change makers in the comics industry Loso Pérez had the honor to be a part of the Latinx Superheroes in Mainstream Comics: The Documentary which is based on the Eisner nominated book of the same name. It will be coming out Fall 2018
For Black History Month I started an art challenge called #BAMruary. I invited the world to participate in celebrating Black History Month through sharing their talents. The challenge was to create one piece of art for each day of the month while honoring something about Black Awareness. I focused on portraits which included historical figures, influential individuals and fictional characters of the African Diaspora- primarily of the Afro-Latinx descent. I can proudly say that I upheld and completed the challenge with flying colors along with other talented folks who brought their own flair. Please enjoy this gallery of the pieces completed. Biographies were all written by Ananya Vahal. All pieces were created using the Comic Draw App. BAMRUARY ART GALLERYPeace, Loso special thanks to our official sponsor plasq follow on us social media! @Prime_Vice #primevice @AnanyaVahal @Plasq @ComicDrawApp #comicdraw #startyourcomictoday @ComicConnect |
