Are you a news junkie with a taste for graphic novels? Or maybe you're a comics fan who also geeks out over The New Yorker and "This American Life." At the intersection of art and nonfiction, comics journalism radically combines real stories about real people with imaginative, drawn storytelling.
We'll tear through a brief lecture and conversation about contemporary comics journalism and then go straight into a workshop in which you'll learn the building blocks of a comics story and how to apply journalism tools and ethics. Some reporting experience is useful, but not necessary. If you choose, you may bring a short piece of journalism — ideally a simple narrative — and we'll thumbnail some of it into the beginnings of a comic.

To me, art is a means of communication that goes far beyond subject matter alone. Although direct reference can be used to motivate the mind or evoke a reaction, visuals can be configured to move a person and trigger aesthetic responses on much broader and hopefully, deeper, levels. These abstract drawings are from a nearly daily drawing journey from which I have been exploring conceptual structuralism.
