We are Passionate About Our Work
We strive to provide our best lessons for the next generation of artists
Comic Collage started off as an idea. Hannah (Founder of Comic Collage) started drawing at the age of 8 years old. She watched her first anime at 10 years old and it inspired her to keep going. She began to love comics, anime, and cartoons. Investing time in art is something Hannah decided to do daily. In her teenage years she searched high and low for comic classes, art classes, and more. Almost nothing showed up! Limited classes and only for beginners! The most they taught was how to draw one character. Hannah wanted to further her knowledge of art even though she was young. She longed for an art class that challenged her and made her better. Which led her to creating the class we know as Comic Collage today. Hannah’s goal with Comic Collage is to make a class that challenges teens skills, leads them, and teaches them how to further their art skills.
“I love to draw and grow and I plan to teach teens to love those things as much as I do.”
