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.
