Calling All US Comic Artists!

AW YES IT’S GO-TIME

I’ve probably mentioned this a couple times here, but one of the totally awesome things I’m doing to finish my senior year of college is beginning a nation-wide survey of comic artists and communities. I’m interested in the changes in group dynamics, in artistic influences, preferred media, and even career goals. I want to see where the medium and the artists are headed from the ground-up, and as far as I know there is very little being written about that perspective.

To that end, I’ll be traveling to three cities this spring- Savannah, San Fransisco, and Portland- to conduct in-person interviews. It doesn’t matter if you’re a professional or a hobbyist, if you are interested in talking about your work and your comics community, I want to listen.If you are in these cities and want to be interviewed during my visit, send me a message through Tumblr and we can start making arrangements.

For those of you who are not in these places, or otherwise can’t meet me: I still want to talk to you! I’ll just have to do it through Skype or another online program. For now, my research is sticking to the United States, so unfortunately I can only interview US artists. However, I would love love love to expand this investigation to other parts of the world, so if you have an interest in me researching your area’s comics culture, please let me know!

Even if you don’t fit any of these, please reblog this post so that more people can get a chance to see this message. The more people that I can talk to, the better view I can get. Thank you so much for reading this, I hope you have a great day.
