I will keep it safe for them. I think this must be a burden someone willingly picks up, rather than something I can impose, but they will find their way to it eventually.

Thanks again to @hawksolidarity (Montclair State University Art & Design adjuncts working towards fair pay + treatment) for featuring me and my work on Monday! Here is the photo I took of me and my work for the profile, and here is the quote I provided: “Summer of 2019 I got the call to teach the Zines and Products for MoCCA class (which I now call Products and Publications for alliteration’s sake). Up to that point I had only taught after school for elementary school students but I had been tabling at a wide range of comics expos, zine festivals, and art book fairs all over the continent for years starting with MoCCA in 2010. So I was excited to teach something I thought I would be uniquely qualified for. Exploring the infinite possibilities of comics and zines with my students (now both in that class and also my new Cartooning class) is endlessly inspiring to me since the only limit to this medium is what you bring to it with your imagination and experience. I think these classes give students a really special opportunity to create narrative work from their individual perspectives and I have loved seeing what they come up with given that freedom. Drawing and writing your own comics and zines means not waiting for someone else to tell you what to draw and showcasing the passion that brought you to art school in the first place. It’s a true honor and a dream come true for me to teach that at a university level.” #adjunct #professor #art #artist #teacher #teaching #comics #cartoons #zines #solidarity #artistsoninstagram https://www.instagram.com/p/CGVeaLRFFOC/?igshid=18s5v3xdfrjqr
