Join us at the Cafe with James Greene and Andrew Kozlowski!
Andrew Kozlowski is an artist and educator based in Jacksonville FL. While he’s been making art for some time, he found a big shift in 2020 and found his way back to making comics and zines. Since 2021 he’s published a weekly comic via Instagram- these comics cover his experiences as a father, husband, teacher, artist, and explore topics related to creativity, mental health, and relationships. In 2023 he opened Paper City Publishing- an imprint to self publish his work, and the work of other cartoonists, artists, writers, poets, and zinesters. You can see more of his work at www.papercitypublishing.com.

Iowa native James Greene’s artistic journey began with drawing cartoons for high school publications. His weekly college strip, The Riot Act, ran in the Northern Iowan newspaper. A versatile artist educator, Greene has worked in museums, art schools, universities, and libraries. A 5-time Scholastic Gold Key Educator’s Award recipient, his artwork has spanned the US and Poland, where he studied in 2004. In 2022, his comic Larry Loathman Snake Master was featured in the exhibit “A Serious Look at the Funnies: 100 Years of Comics,” at the University of Tennessee Knoxville, curated by Denis Kitchen.

2025-08-03 14:00 - 16:00 (America/New_York) | Happy Medium Books Cafe, 2724 Park St, Jacksonville, FL, 32205, United States
Capture the spirit of the city through bold lines, loose color, and your unique point of view! In this intimate urban sketching workshop, watercolor artist Teresa Cook will guide you through the fundamentals of sketching on location and bringing your scenes to life with watercolor.
We’ll explore techniques like:
• Quick gesture drawing and simplifying busy scenes
• Creating depth and atmosphere with washes
• Using color intuitively to express mood and movement
• Composing with purpose—from café corners to local landmarks
You’ll leave with sketches and the confidence to sketch your own city stories, whether at a market, downtown square, or hidden neighborhood gem. We’ll work on location (weather permitting) or from carefully curated reference photos if indoors.
All materials welcome—bring your own sketchbook and watercolor set, and I will also be providing all supplies. Great for beginners, travel lovers, curious creatives, or anyone wanting to see the world with fresh eyes.
