GEEK TO CHIC
Unleash Your Inner Geek at the Boston Center for Adult Education

Glasses, headgear, pants that looked like you were waiting for a flood- sound too familiar? Yea, yea, yea, we know that you’ve grown out of that phase. You’ve moved to Boston, gotten a kick butt tech job and may have even found a little arm candy. No one remembers that you went dateless to your senior prom, anyway.

This spring take your comic book collection out from underneath your bed and unleash your inner geek at the Boston Center for Adult Education’s (BCAE) “Comic Book: Heroes & Monsters” drawing class.

At the BCAE learn how to develop your supernatural fantasy into a character, story and professional comic book! Artist John Cafferty will teach students how to transition from creating composition, formulating a design and adding lettering, to the final step of inking- just like the comic book pros!

The “Heroes & Monsters” drawing class will be taught over the course of 5 sessions beginning Wednesday, March 17, 2010. This class is perfect for anyone who has an interest in animation, drawing, art, and of course, comic books! Capes, Spandex, Superwomen, and even headgear are welcome!

Edited To Add: Wait, you know what? I’ve got one comment. Fuck you guys.

    That is just *painful*.

    Apparently someone in their PR department is taking a creative writing course.

    Awww yeah, me and my hacker gig and sweet questionable arm candy.

    I kind of feel bad for John Cafferty, though… it’s a bit hard to comprehend who, exactly, will sign up for a class that’s promoted like that.

    Drawing Darkseid. Drawing Darkseid, whoa whoa.

    Darkseid’s comin now nothin’ is real – and put some more arc on your drawing of that shield.

    I’m not sure what is more soul destroying about this press release: the deadening cliche description of the geek childhood, the aching banality of the aspirational lifestyle (a job in computers and an indeterminate sex life), or the idea of recapturing something, anything through a three-week adult education class skimming over the very basics of comic production.

    Those scant few paragraphs are like a deathly, enchanting mantra, the repetition of which will push your soul out of your nose and allow the necromancers of the BCAE PR department to trap it in a jar.

    WOW! I can’t believe the guy who wrote the music for Eddie and the Cruisers is teaching art. Sign me up if he sequentializes the song Betty Lou Got A New Pair of Shoes.

    Superwomen welcome … ladies!

    That’s my St. Paddy’s Day sorted, then.

    (Sorted as in “I’ll steer clear of the BCAE and die a happier man.”)

    Is this sponsored by Larry’s Comics?

    It hurts because it’s true.
