#sequential art
Hello. Many things happened. Even though several months have passed, I’m still going through a long suffering adjustment period. My health condition hasn’t been its best, but I’m slowly working on a 58 page comic. It will be made into a zine and will be sold in a small convention in Korea. Hope everyone is managing fine. Best of luck!

A lil’ piece from my exam! 3rd year at TAW done, only 1 more to go!
The goal was to pitch a Young Adults comics franchise so besides this there was a ton of text with the plot, character descriptions, themes, etc. It has parallel worlds, a quirky neighbor and M U R D E R

Since starting working on my new comic for the last few months, I’ve been wondering how other comickers feel about the process of working on pages.
What’s the most rewarding/fun part of the process for you?
What’s the most challenging?
For me I find the thumbnailing stage to often be both these things. It’s an often difficult stage because planning panels is such a critical part, and I usually have an idea of my head of how certain panels should be (ie. large panel end of page) so I have to work around those panels. I thumbnail at about half-sized, and so sketch fairly detailed, which makes the inking phase much faster when I bring it into the computer (in my case, iPad). I also write the dialogue in so I can get a sense of pacing, etc. So, my thumbnails are more detailed than other artists’, which I think tend to be more small and loose to figure out layout/composition– but it works well for me.
Thumbnailing is really rewarding to me because I can feel the comic actually taking shape. And it makes me excited to complete pages so I can get to future ones I’m extra excited about.
I’d love to hear other people opinions about this! Feel free to share.

COMICS ART EXHIBITION: SEQUENTIAL SELF
I’m excited to be apart of this show and have a few of my original comics on display.
“The Galleries at Eastfield College present “Sequential Self: Female, Non-Binary, Trans, and Queer Voices in Comics and Zines,” an exhibition focusing on underrepresented artists in the genre of comics and zines. Artists will include Sophie Campbell, KD Diamond, Robin Elan and L.M. Zoller, Melanie Gillman, Sarah Glidden, Erika Moen, Erin Nations, Molly Roth, and Christine Suggs.
Female, Non-Binary, Trans, and Queer voices, though not new to the comics genre, have existed at the margins while predominantly cis white male voices and characters were the focus of mainstream comics. Since the recent growth in diversity among comic artists and writers, there are now more voices and stories that reflect a variety of experiences and identities. This exhibition illuminates some of the powerful voices and innovative stories in the contemporary age of comics.
Much of the work that exists outside the big name comic publishers feature personal storylines, often autobiographical and sometimes closely linked to the artist’s identity or intimate life. The 11 artists/authors in “Sequential Self” wrestle with concepts including, friendship, war, coming of age, queer experience, racial tensions, and online dating, while also moving away from grandiose fictitious scenarios, to more realistic ones grounded in personal experiences.
Following the opening reception, the exhibit will be on view through April 23.”
