I Made a Zine

I Made a Zine

Thank you Art Gallery of Hamilton ( @at_theagh) for mounting the thought-provoking show, “This Is Serious: Canadian Indie Comics.”

And a big thank you to Meredith Park (@meredithplayground) for spending time with us over the last six weeks and showing a group of eager students the ins and outs of journaling through comics (we each made an 8-page zine!).

Co-curator Alana Traficante (@alana_tra) best captured why I think I’m “drawn” to comics at this stage of my life: “The format of comics is one that uniquely compels readers through literary and visual experiences, and when used to recount personal, nuanced narratives, can awaken an essential, critical understanding of ourselves and one another.” My comic is another episode in a strip I started last year called, “Monetize That: Living in a Success Culture When a Soul Culture is More Your Style."
