Workshop Program

Creasidence Online Comics Workshop is a 2-day digital accelerator created in collaboration with experienced comic artists and mentors, focused on short-form storytelling through the 4-panel yonkoma format.

Each participant creates two complete comic strips over the weekend, working with a shared prompt and character developed by the mentors. The final works are then compiled and published as a digital zine on the Metalabel platform.

Held entirely online, the workshop connects artists across time zones and backgrounds, offering a focused, collaborative environment where creators can grow, share, and publish their work together.

The collective zine is released on Metalabel — a chance to showcase your work globally and support each other as a creative community.

The program is designed for those who:

  • Are exploring comics medium for the first time or looking to strengthen their storytelling skills
  • Appreciate structured feedback and mentorship from practicing artists

Releases

Every Creasidence program ends with a collaborative release — a zine, mixtape, performance, or game concept — created and published by the participants. We release these works on Metalabel, making them accessible to everyone. Artists keep full credit, and all proceeds go directly to them. Our goal is not only to create together — but to share it with the world, right away.
