Transformative Fancomics as a Place for Experimentation
May 17 @ 6:00 pm – 7:00 pm EDT
Three creators talk about their experiences with transitioning their experimental fancomics into original work. Spicyyeti will be telling you why every artist should just start publishing their comics on their own websites, and going through his process for more experimental webcomics between both fan (Jade Route, Y12k) and original (Godhead) projects. Max Banshees will be focusing on zines and cyanotypes, discussing the challenges and influences of collaborating with other fanartists across country lines. Alexis Rippen will be talking up self publishing and self education: the world is at your fingertips and you can write and print and distribute whatever you want.
*This talk will be pre-recorded ahead of the airing time, but panelists will be answering questions in Zoom chat.
