Lovett is a graphic novel artist who has over 30 years experience and has worked for everyone from Disney TV to Warner Brothers to Hanna Barbera, Nickelodeon and more.

Day One will feature a presentation about how to create a graphic novel, with a step by step demo from script to finished comic book.
