Organization Description
| Mission statement | I’ve been working in Seattle as a teacher and freelance artist/writer for close to two decades. Currently I teach as a writer-in-residence in Seattle public schools through Seattle Arts & Lectures’ Writers in the Schools program, and through a few other organizations including Pratt, the Richard Hugo House, Seattle University, and the Frye Art Museum. (Other institutions I’ve worked with in the past include Arts Corps, Coyote Central, Powerful Schools, the Seattle Public Library, the Bellevue Art Museum, and the Kirkland Art Center.) My primary medium, for both my teaching and my artistic practice, is comics. I’ve been a regular contributor to the weekly paper The Stranger, have been nominated for multiple awards for my comic book series Urban Hipster, and recently had a graphic novel, Disillusioned Illusions, published by Fantagraphics Books. One the best things about being a comics teacher is getting to work with students of all ages, and seeing how the same exercises and activities — adjusted for different audiences — can help reveal the unique power of graphic storytelling. I’m a firm believer that the comics medium is a highly accessible one, for all ages and for all levels of ability. |
