Comic Proposal

For my narrative strategies final project, I will listen to a story told by the person of my choosing and create a comic based on the story. I would like this project to tie into my thesis by requesting a story about a school experience, good or bad. Not being familiar with comics, my project will start with research online and in store. Once my research is complete, I will have a better understanding of the history and layout of comics, and will be able to create an interesting comic to compliment the story.
This project will help me gather a better understanding of narrative strategies by breaking down the story, deciding which parts will make good illustrations, and working with composition and color. I’m hoping to create the project on Bristol board with pen and colored ink, a medium I don't have much experience with, which will create another challenge.

Hi Folks,
Sheppard Fairey in the news again!



Listen to the Fresh Air Podcast.

(Hope I don't get in big trouble with this photo.) This is just the stuff we were talking about, and will have implications for all artists who use source material... and photographers.

Ephemeral art, eternal maintenance

Chicago Photojournalist, Mike Anzaldi, Arrested for the Second Time

I thought that this article was interesting. It talks about Mike Anzadi being arrested for taking a photograph. And then he was arrested again because he was on file. Basically, they arrested him for the same crime twice. It was just crazy because he was on public property. Craziness.
