This week, Suzi Elezovic is a GEHM Among Us!
We honor our GEHM of the Week by sitting them down for a one-on-one conversation with the Editor-In-Chief, Lincoln Farquharson . . .Ā
LF: Afternoon Suzi! You have been selected as our next GEHM of the Week! Hopefully this is a good time to chat.
SE: Oh great! Now is fine.
LF: Great! Where are you from? Where have you lived and where are you currently?
SE: I was born in the Bronx (New York) and then moved to Detroit (Michigan) when I was 4. When I was 5, we left Detroit and moved to Alexandria, Virginia. When I was 6, we moved to Brigantine, New Jersey, but we were in New York every weekend. We werenāt full time in New Jersey until 1997 when we moved to Absecon. In 2001, I moved back to New York to go to college in Queens (New York), and only spent two months in NJ. I moved back to NJ in 2005 after college.
LF: I have been to or lived in all of these places with the exception of Detroit.
SE: Thatās awesome. I love Virginia, itās so pretty.
LF: What school did you attend in Queens? What was your major?
SE: St. Johnās College, for Secondary Education and Social Studies. Did you attend college?
LF: I went to three colleges actually: Atlantic Cape Community College in Atlantic City, NJ; New Jersey City University in Jersey City, NJ, and Rutgers University - Newark. I finally finished both my Bachelorās in Business Management and my Masterās in Public Administration at Rutgers. Weāve both seemed to have lived a very transient life, in a lot of different places. For me itās been one eye opening experience after another.
SE: Seriously (laugh). Not what I wanted but life doesnāt always take us down the path we expected to be on.
LF: You are speaking the truth with that one. So who is your favorite character in the FarCorners Universe?
SE: Stargazer. She can see anything, anywhere. I feel like the eyes are the most powerful part of our body because they are portals to who we are. She kicks ass (laugh).
LF: I love her too. She is a sexy character and Arturo really made her sexiness come alive. My favorite part about her would have to be the cape . . . and then the eyes (laugh).
SE: Yea, sheās pretty awesome.
LF: What do you tell others about FarCorners Studios?
SE: That they need to read it! Itās innovative, creative, and the artwork is ridiculously good. It has a great storyline and that it needs to be a nationwide hit. I would also love to see it on TV.
LF: Thank you so much for that. TV animation has always been our goal, from the beginning. This story is too big for comics and it kills us to have to give it out piecemeal for everyone like we are doing.
SE: It would be sick in animation!
SE: It should be the next best thing . . . seriously.
LF: I wish others knew that (laugh).
SE: Where are you originally from and where do you live now?
LF: Iām originally from Atlantic City, NJ, born and raised. I currently live in Irvington, NJ, a small town outside of Newark.
SE: What do you think brought you to where you are in life now?
LF: So many things brought me to this point, and never in all the years that are available to me would I have imagined myself here, doing this. This was never my dream, never my goal. I have had so many down moments, but facing them head on, learning from them, and being a critical forward thinker, has allowed me to rise above and put me where I am. I also couldn't have done this without some really great people along the way. They have truly carried me through the fires and I owe so much to them.
SE: That is awesome. Life is never what we think itās going to be so I always like knowing how people got to where they are right now. I am very proud of you.
LF: Thank you! Thank you so much, Suzi. People like you keep us motivated. Even in this business there are plenty of down moments, moments when you ask yourself was this the right choice. So thank you.
SE: You are so welcome, Lincoln
