The May meeting of Laydeez do Comics Chicago welcomed wardrobe-coordinated comics creators Sarah Morton and Tyrell Cannon to Quimby’s.
Sarah presented her multiple comics projects, which are rooted in an education in journalism and urban planning.
Tyrell presented on his broad career in comics, which includes various experimentations with the comic form, his Simon character, his book Gary, and his new release for CAKE, Victus.
Our first speaker for March was John Porcellino. He spoke of what he calls his “psychic punctuation” and his punk/DIY philosophy. He also performed a creator’s close reading of one of his poetic comics, “Ant Crossing.” (Click on images to enlarge.)
Our second speaker was Riva Lehrer. She discussed the ethical structure she establishes for her portrait collaborations, and showed many examples of her work.
