UPCOMING ONLINE CLASS: Build Your Own Labyrinth with Matt Madden!

sequentialartistsworkshop.org/

"Build Your Own Labyrinth" is an online laboratory where you will surprise yourself by creating comics in response to seemingly impossible (or simply absurd) rules that will push your creativity into unexpected new areas. But don't be intimidated: working with constraints is playful, like using your crossword or jigsaw puzzle mind in the service of art.

TEXT: UPCOMING ONLINE CLASS: Build Your Own Labyrinth with Matt Madden! Where: Saturdays on Zoom Starting March 21, 2026
 When: 1 PM – 3 PM Eastern / 10 AM – 12 PM Pacific. Flyer showcases Matt Madden artwork header and an image of the instructor. Text: Build Your Own Labyrinth" is an online laboratory where you will surprise yourself by creating comics in response to seemingly impossible (or simply absurd) rules that will push your creativity into unexpected new areas. But don't be intimidated: working with constraints is playful, like using your crossword or jigsaw puzzle mind in the service of art. You will lose yourself in a lucid trance of "deep play" and when you emerge, you'll be amazed at the directions your engagement with constraints has taken you. 

By the end of the workshop you'll have a handful of experimental comics under your belt but, just as importantly, you'll have a firm grasp of a radical and all-encompassing approach to creativity that you will continue to explore in your future work. 

Meeting: SATURDAYS 
Sessions on Zoom Starting March 21, 2026
1 PM – 3 PM Eastern / 10 AM – 12 PM PacificText: Instructor - Matt Madden is a cartoonist and translator who has also taught in art schools around the world.
