Peter's Bio

I've been professionally involved in the comic book industry for over 6 years now as an artist, writer, and publisher.

As publisher and founder of Alterna Comics, I've had the pleasure of working with many creators from across the world.

I've written a psychological thriller graphic novel "The Chair", compiled a true-story anthology "Hello, do YOU work here?", and wrote and illustrated my first children's book "Wilson Puck". Aside from these, I've also lettered the zombie graphic novel "Risers", the true-story mystery "Polly and Handgraves: A Sinister Aura", and the action drama graphic novel "Devil's Island".

To date, I've taught over 40 different art courses and I've been substitute teaching for two years.

All program fees vary slightly from $180 to $250 depending on travel expenses, class dates, and program choice.

Program materials are always provided for and are included in the program fee unless otherwise notified (i.e. a graphic design class and computers and software are provided for by the event coordinator).

Each program can be tailor-made for a certain age/grade level, so don't hesitate to ask for a certain program for a different age group.

Classes run approximately 1 and a half hours to 2 hours.
