Wikipedia-Free News & Views For Wednesday, March 7, 2007

Before I get to today's news & views -- don't forget we had three new articles published in the magazine this week:

  • Terrence Marks interviews married creators, Dave Roman and Raina Telgemeier. This is actually the first in a series of five such interviews we'll be publishing this month.
  • New columnist Brigid Alverson covers five short story web manga this month in Small Packages.
  • Bryant Paul Johnson returns with another installment of his historically accurate series at Comixpedia: The Antecedent.
  • And of course a big thanks to Meghan Murphy of Kawaii Not for doing this month's cover art.

Comixpedia's People Of Webcomics List For 2006

It's the third annual Comixpedia People Of Webcomics List. This was the hardest one yet to compile. There's a lot of webcomics and a lot of people doing interesting things in and around webcomics. This list, as in past years, is an odd effort to compare apples and oranges: artistic achievement, audience popularity, technical achievement, business savvy, news-making impact all go into the mix.

3rd Annual Stumptown Comics Fest

Stumptown Comics Fest takes place October 27-28th in the Oregon Convention Center, Portland OR. There's a huge list of artists that will be there including special guest Kazu Kibuishi.

Interview With Amy Kim Ganter

Broken Frontier has an interview with Amy Kim Ganter.

Up-and-coming cartoonist Amy Kim Ganter launched her online comic Reman Mythology in 2002 and has since contributed to the acclaimed comics compendium Flight. Her most recent project, Sorcerers and Secretaries, was released in 2006. Amy took some time to chat with Broken Frontier’s Neil Figuracion to talk about her comics, her fantasies and her upcoming wedding to Flight editor Kazu Kibuishi.

Tutorial Repositories and the Bay Area

There’s a pretty fascinating interview over at www.publishersweekly.com with Kazu Kibuishi about the methods to creating his inspired body of work. I don’t think anything outside of practice-practice-practice has improved my artwork or inspired me to create as much as these sorts of insights into the creative processes of other artists/writers. Someone should put together a link-list or something of all the great “how I do it” tutorials creators put together.
