An Exploration of Fine Art Techniques in the Production of Comic Books

Project Details

Keywords: graphic storytelling, publishing, visual arts
Student Investigator:
Kate Laster
Faculty Mentor: Pedar Dalthorp, M.F.A.

Abstract

The URECA Grant has provided me with an opportunity to step outside of my own comfort zone and learn new skills and techniques in the production of original comics. Attending the Stumptown Comics Fest will give me access to a larger community of visual storytellers. Not only will I meet artists I admire, but also peers working in the same medium of narrative art. The cumulative creative outcome will involve responding to these new ideas and techniques and incorporating them into the creation of my fourth comic.
