Altogether 12 young people took part in workshops and learned how to develop characters, what to tell with pictures, how to deal with words, bubbles and when to leave the text completely out.
Participants met Clint Eastwood in a desert and found out how to draw a comics strip, how to tell a story about their home city, where to draw important details and what to leave in the background. Then a comics-real Johnny Depp arrived in Riga, where he went to the market and got into trouble straight away. Finally, everyone with pencils drew a story and saved him. Soon the comics made during the workshops will be published on the comics workshop blog, there you can find what happened later on.
Here are some impressions from the workshops:

Almost everything in Hollywood is at least slightly ironic, and decidedly modern or post modern in sensibility. Outright racism or misogyny is now rare in Hollywood. Hollywood is basically far more socially conscious. Bollywood is almost entirely about money, much more so than Hollywood. Often mob money. One highly visible motif is the highly problematic rise of "item numbers."
