Michael Kay is an artist living in Minneapolis and an enjoyer of all things comics and cartoons! After a life-long obsession with manga, he began publishing his own Dark-Fantasy series “CABARIS” and spends his time creating gothic paintings and illustrations. Michael is passionate about character design and world-building, eager to teach others techniques to help in the creative process.
Michael Kay’s classes offer in-depth lectures and guides on the fundamentals of anatomy, character design, and creating comics. Together we will discuss these concepts and work through the basics and slowly build on each concept in detail, arriving at a stronger sense of creating and developing comics and sequential art.
