September 11, 2001, Jeff and Vijaya had just arrived in Norway for a comics festival in Bergen. Illustrating the experience of what it was like to be far from home that day, these original art pieces were donated to the “9-11: Emergency Relief” graphic novel which was a fundraiser for the American Red Cross.
CXC will happen on a variety of platforms. Some of our events (like the Talk & Teach workshops) will be on Zoom Webinars and require registration. But almost everything will be streamed on our Facebook, YouTube, & Twitch. Details: http://cartooncrossroadscolumbus.org/schedule
