#sequential artists workshop

[alunclewe]

So I just said in my previous post I was going to try to post more, so let me start that out by belatedly posting the comic I did for the @sequentialartistsworkshop Friday Night Comics workshop this past Friday.

The workshop was hosted this time by @mikedawwwson, and the assignment was simple: Just draw a four-panel comic about something that happened in your life. Although honestly in retrospect I'm not sure I totally followed the intended instructions, because when he showed examples he made a big point of pointing out the importance of the facial expressions, and the way I framed this comic my face is never fully shown. Oops. Oh well.

Ahhhh I just learned that the Friday night comics workshop series from The Believer (of which I was a devotee during lockdown) was picked up by the Sequential Artists Workshop (SAW) and is still running:

Hello,

this is the partner blog to my VLOG series which I have yet to name An Artist's Theory on Creative working? So diagnostic sounding...

Here you will see me do all the exercises so you can see a real example of what it is I am looking for.

Now is a good time to mention I am not a teacher or have any notable degrees*, I am just a multimedia crafter storyteller who enjoys exercises so much I make them up. They help me stay working and inventing and hopefully they will help you too.

*I do have a good bit of experience including studying theater, classical and jazz music, as well as comics and storytelling with The Sequential Artists Workshop which I draw heavily from.

I do not post anything with any regularity, Im lucky if I remember to put the trash out on time.

All input and questions are appreciated!

A gnarly churning machine is what produced this comic, and a grinding 🔥 out time it has been since my last post. The Theatre of Youth premiered Chekhov's The Seagull according to director Christian Benedetti's vision, merging spaces and disturbing expectations.

While I was away confronting my demons, somebody asked ( @mme-patate ) what my top 5 favourite tracks might be. I kept rattling my brains and came up with a top of radio shows I listen to, since music seems an endless pursuit: Turtles Have Short Legs, 150 session, Big Road Blues, Kranky and every once in a while either the Opera Show or RebelUpNightShop. Hope it helps.

Between the end of February and late April I took part, alongside Micul Haos's Maria Mandea and George Marian Preduț, in an artist in residency program taking part in the vicinity of Hermanstadt. Monica Dănilă, the coordinator of the Șona AIR project, through Fundația Ștefan Câlția asked us to explore the possibilities available in this small village, home to the painter and to the foundation's restoration projects. Besides the workshop we did with 21 local kids, the residency gave me the chance to work on my upcoming book. You can read more about the macabre and my churning state of mind in the May issue of Elle magazine, in which Ioana Ulmeanu was kind enough to squeeze me in with a very elegant take on what a burnt out artist turns to in times of despair.

Hello! I placed an order for ur zines and I was wondering if u think u r thinking of reprinting ur JunkWorld USA zine sometime soon? Ur work is amazing and hugely inspiring for me and I wish to have as much of ur printed comics as possible!

1st of all thank you for your support & the kind words. :')

unfortunately the answer is "probably not", at least not in its original form. that zine was laid out, edited, & printed by the Sequential Artists Workshop while i was still living in Gainesville FL - i've since moved across the country & started printing my own zines. to be honest i have no idea how much the color printing cost on that original run. BUT i know there are works collected in there that people really like, and i still have a lot of comics that have never been printed. so one of my goals is to either re-format & re-print "Junk World USA" myself or create a new (potentially bigger?) collection of those older comics.

A one-day pop culture convention set to take place in New York City in November will be the first of its kind to celebrate characters, narratives and creators of Jewish comic books and graphic novels.

“JewCE: The Jewish Comics Experience” is being organized by the Center for Jewish History, which is the comprised of five partner organizations: American Jewish Historical Society, American Sephardi Federation, Leo Baeck Institute, Yeshiva University Museum and YIVO Institute for Jewish Research.

The convention will highlight the Jewish history of the comic book industry and the tradition of Jewish storytelling as it applies to the creation of comic books, and well as Jewish comic book and graphic novel narratives, themes, characters and creators. The event will include a minimum of 10 panels and workshops, the opportunity to meet 24 comic book artists and writers and other programming. Guests are also invited to visit the new Jews in Comics exhibit at the Center for Jewish History in advance of the convention.

“JewCE is designed to be an inclusive convention, celebrating an industry largely created by Members of the Tribe, and promoting diverse Jewish narratives in comics and graphic novel,” the Center for Jewish History said in its description of the event.

Tickets are already on sale for the convention, which will take place on Nov. 12, in-person and on Zoom, with a preview night on Nov. 11 in-person only at the Center for Jewish History. There will also be a JewCE Awards ceremony, to be held on preview night, that will celebrate diverse Jewish comics and graphic novels. Nine awards will be presented by a panel of judges from the industry. The honors include a Combating Prejudice Award, a Book Award in Diverse Jewish Representation and the Macherke Award for Career Contributions to Jewish Comics.

“The Jewish Comics Experience has what it takes to make it to the major league of comic conventions and I could not be more proud to be a part of it,” Fabrice Sapolsky — a comic book creator, publisher and co-creator of JewCE — said in a released statement. “Comic books, graphic novels, and sequential arts are amazing mediums to convey stories. This industry was founded by a group of young — mostly Jewish — creators in the 1930/40s. JewCE will keep honoring the past while promoting present-day storytellers and inspiring creators of tomorrow. It will be an inclusive journey into Jewish diversity through art and creativity.”

JewCE Co-Creator Dr. Miriam Eve Mora, who is also director of academic and public programs at the Center for Jewish History, called JewCE “a love letter to the creators themselves, Jewish and non-Jewish, who have worked to include Jewish characters in their stories, to demonstrate Jewish diversity across the pages, and to provide a visual and cultural home for Jewish readers of all ages to feel seen, included, and embraced.”

“At times only perceptible to those in the know, Jews have long had a home between the covers of comic books of all sorts,” she added. “JewCE brings that home to light, celebrating Jewish characters and creators of all ethnicities, nations of origin, religious observances, genders, sexual orientations, and political affiliations.”

*Association of comics researchers holds its first international event in Campo Grande*

The State University of Mato Grosso do Sul (UEMS) in Campo Grande will host the 1st International Meeting of the Association of Researchers in Sequential Art (I EIASPAS) which will be held along with the VII National Research Forum on Sequential Art (FNPAS) between November 5th and 8th, 2024. The event will be attended by foreign and national researchers and with the participation of people linked to the Brazilian publishing market, as well as comic book artists.

This edition aims to promote discussions and reflections on research with comics, both in terms of artistic creation and art in education and/or scientific research.. The proposal is to discuss issues linked to the ninth art that involve the interrelations between languages in terms of artistic practices, research on comics and teaching through sequential art, always keeping in mind the idea of “why study comics at the university?” in the contemporary scenario in which art has suffered retaliation from different social propositions.

Submissions for the event for short courses propositions and workshops, as well as communications or just listeners can now be made using this formand the complete program will be available on September 5, 2024 on the website www.eiaspas.com.br.

At the same time, ASPAS invites the community of comics and fanzine producers to participate as exhibitors at Feira Suplemento, the association's sequential art fair, which will take place on Thursday and Friday, November 7th and 8th, 2024. Selected participants will not need to pay for the space to sell their work. The Suplemento: Comics Fair aims to combine research and comics practices, bringing academics closer to people who make comics in Brazil. Thus, a more direct dialogue is created, in which researchers can learn about new developments in comics production and comic creators can get in touch with the proposals and results of research on comics carried out in Brazil and internationally. Registration for the Suplemento: Comics Fair will be available between August 12th and September 13th, 2024 on this form.

ASPAS (Association of Researchers in Sequential Art) is a congregation of academics based in the city of Leopoldina/MG and founded in 2012, aiming to popularize and highlight researches carried out in Brazil and around the world on comic books. Another of ASPAS' efforts is to decentralize academic production on comics in Brazil, with members from all federative units in the country. From the beginning, the combination of these efforts has produced at least one event and one academic book per year related to comics research.

Unfortunately, I am not going to be able to attend the @sequentialartistsworkshop Friday Night Comics workshop this week, because I'm working this afternoon. (Well... there's a slight possibility I may be able to make it if it turns out to be a very short workday. But it's unlikely.) But I did attend the workshop last week, and, uh, didn't get around to posting my comic until now.

Last week's workshop was hosted by Anand Shenoy (@anandpagalkutta on Instagram), and the theme was "aimless comics", basically just start with a grid of 2x4 panels and... draw a kind of an aimless story, without worrying about where it's going. The only further restriction was that there should be at least two panels with dialogue.

Anyway, when not given specific direction I guess my default tends toward drawing monsters, so here's what I ended up with.

Index Breif Initial Thoughts and Notes

What does index mean?

An Index is a symbol or sign that directly points to or signifies something else.

A trace

As a Motif.

In some contexts, an index refers to a list or compilation of names, topics, or subjects possibly arranged in alphabetical, numerical, or sequential order.

In this module, my goal is to uncover what "index" personally means to me and how it relates to my artistic practice. To start this, I'll be completing the index workshop to gain a deeper understanding of various methods to achieve this.

Here is a link to the tiny 88pg bundle, minus the colorul outburst. The project couldn't have come together without the focus of Ioana Ciolea/Punky, the sound engineering of Waka_x/Felix Petrescu of Makunouchi Bento or the financial support of Centrul de Proiecte, through their nano-grant program funded via Timisoara 2023's Capital of Culture pack.
