Cartooning tips

Bill Barnes offers Cartooning in the 21st Century on Saturday in Everett.

The cartoonist will speak at 2 p.m. Saturday at the Everett Library, 2702 Hoyt Ave.

Barnes is co-author of a strip called “Unshelved.” He will talk about the Internet era and how a cartoon artist makes himself or herself stand out.

How does one find that unique “voice” — the most valuable thing a cartoonist can have?

How do you find your audience, make a name for yourself and earn some money in the process?

This will be an interactive presentation, including some hands-on work.

The program is free.

Concert to benefit Jon Bailey: Help John Bailey, who was severely burned May 9 in an accident at his Marysville home.

A benefit concert is planned for 7 p.m. Friday at Bethany Christian Assembly, 2715 Everett Ave., Everett. Hear Crossroads New Revival Quartet and The Gamlens. Please make a $10 donation.

Get farms ready for bad weather: Visit an Arlington farm and learn about getting your own property ready for fall and winter.

Tours are planned at 10 a.m. and 1 p.m. Saturday. Lunch is $5.

To register and receive directions, call Pam at 425-335-5634, ext. 123, or e-mail workshops@snohomishcd.org.
