How To Talk About Yourself

As comics becomes more popular and defined as a medium, we are called from outsiders upon as experts to talk about our field. We have to shift the way we self-present, as creators, when facing different audiences: libraries and teachers, high art gallery and literature, the uninitiated comics-curious crowd, and more. What is an "Artist Statement" anyways? How do you balance the responsibility of being an ambassador to 'comics', all while self-promoting and delivering an eloquent, genuine, and productive viewpoint? The publishing team at 2dcloud — Raighne, Kim Jooha — cover ideas on belonging, having a voice, how to engage, like the importance of not being silent.

Understanding Art Comics

Are you looking to step outside the literary bubble? Through a short history of international art comics and an introduction to contemporary art comic publishers, artists and key works, 2dclouds Kim Jooha will give you the whys and hows of adding avant-garde work to your collection, along with the tools to broaden the definition of comics in your collection.

Saturday:

Expressive Lines And The Power of Restraint

There are many ways of showcasing expressive art in comics. Join Hellen Jo, Ron Rege Jr., Keren Katz, Maggie Umber, and Xia Gordon as they talk about what goes into composing a page, what influences their art, and how they use expressiveness to tell a story.

Film Screening: The Transmedia Gesammtkunstwerks of Juliacks

Join us for a screening of Architecture of an Atom, directed, produced, written, performed and created by JULIACKS. This film is a transmedia polyphonic science fiction love tragedy and gesammtkunstwerk whose structure is based upon that of an atom containing a feature film, a comix art book and a series of infinite whistle performance films about the fantasies and self created conflicts of groups. Exciting stuff!

Webtoons, Longform, and The Infinite Canvas

It's been a while since the internet enabled the use of infinite canvasses for comics, but the last few years have brought a resurgence in the form though mobile apps and Webtoons. Artists Grace An (Sunshinable), Jade Armstrong (BOPU Squad, Crutch), Kim Jooha (2dcloud), and Kim Hoang (Love Love Hill) are here to give you a primer on their favourite webtoons from Korea and beyond. Listen as they discuss the potential and influence of "the long scroll" on their own work.

Set in a kingdom where danger lurks beneath the sea, mermaids seek vengeance with song, and magic is a choice, Adalyn Grace’s All the Stars and Teeth is a thrilling fantasy for fans of Stephanie Garber’s Caraval and Sarah J. Maas’s Throne of Glass series. She will reign. As princess of the island kingdom Visidia, Amora Montara has spent her entire life training to be High Animancer—the master of souls. The rest of the realm can choose their magic, but for Amora, it’s never been a choice. To secure her place as heir to the throne, she must prove her mastery of the monarchy’s dangerous soul magic. When her demonstration goes awry, Amora is forced to flee. She strikes a deal with Bastian, a mysterious pirate: he’ll help her prove she’s fit to rule, if she’ll help him reclaim his stolen magic. But sailing the kingdom holds more wonder—and more peril—than Amora anticipated. A destructive new magic is on the rise, and if Amora is to conquer it, she’ll need to face legendary monsters, cross paths with vengeful mermaids, and deal with a stow-away she never expected… or risk the fate of Visidia and lose the crown forever. I am the right choice. The only choice. And I will protect my kingdom. All the Stars and Teeth (All the Stars and Teeth #1) by Adalyn Grace Publisher: Imprint Release Date: February 4th 2020 Genre: Young Adult, Fantasy, Pirates Book Links: Goodreads: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/38325332-all-the-stars-and-teeth Amazon: https://amzn.to/2OS5cH4 B&N: https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/all-the-stars-and-teeth-adalyn-grace/1132544791?ean=9781250307781#/ iTunes: https://books.apple.com/us/book/all-the-stars-and-teeth/id1464523717 Bookdepository: https://www.bookdepository.com/All-the-Stars-and-Teeth-Adalyn-Grace-Shayna-Small/9781250248992 Kobo: https://www.kobo.com/gb/en/ebook/all-the-stars-and-teeth Google Books: https://books.google.co.uk/books?vid=ISBN9781250307798&redir_esc=y Favorite Quotes: The fog must have finally made its way through my coat and into my bones. The chill of it touches my core. The ocean below twinkles as if dusted with millions of crystal shards. I never knew how much I wanted this-how much I was missing it-until now. I will my heart to stop. If it stops now, then I wont' have to know what happens next. I shut my eyes as the ocean swallows me whole. Water floods my lungs, and I choke on the one thing I love the most. What a brilliant weapon that hook could make. Review: All the Stars and Teeth by Adalyn Grace is such an amazing book. From the very beginning, All the Stars and Teeth had me addicted. I absoutely loved everything about this book. The Magic System I really enjoyed the magic system that Adalyn has create. There are seven island of the Kingdom of Visidia and each island has its own magic. The magic that is involved in this world is mind magic, soul magic, elemental magic, time magic, curse magic, restoration magic, and enchantment magic. Basically the Kingdom is made up of two rules. Rule No. 1, No one is allowed to practice more than one magic. If you were to learn more that one it would be too much and too dangerous for a person. It would have violent consequences. No. 2, Only the Montara family is allowed to do soul magic. I found the magic system to be very interesting but also very complicated. I am looking forward to learning more as I read on. I think there is a lot more to all the magic than what the reader has read so far. The Characters I really loved the characters. Ferrick is Amora's long time friend and fiance. He will follow her anywhere. He is very loyal. I love that he is sweet and caring. He has his own dreams and desire that he would like to accomplish. He doesn't focus everything on Amora. Amora is very interesting. She is to be the next ruler of the kingdom. She is trying to learn as much about her kingdom as she can. She is very naive but she truly wants the best for people. She also isn't afraid to do what she wants. Then there is Vataea. She is a married that joins the crew in the middle of the journey. In a lot of ways, I like her the most. She definitely has some tricks up her sleeve. Lastly there is Bastian. Bastian is definitely to love interest to Amora in this book. He is a very confident pirate but he does care for us. I can't even begin to express to you how much I loved this book. I really don't have anything bad to say. All I really can say is go read this book. It is so good and I really hope that you pick it up and enjoy it as much as I did. About the Author: Adalyn Grace graduated Summa Cum Laude when she was 19-years-old.

Review: Yours

Yours is filled with beautiful stories and art that's gorgeous & jolting #comics

In today’s world of emails and texts, it almost seems it was more than a century ago, we used to write letters. There was something genuine, about sitting to write down a letter, to someone you know, or even regular correspondence. This always felt so personal, as to handwrite a letter, as if some of you went into the words when you write those words with a fountain pen. What also made it…

Margot Ferrick Interview

Margot Ferrick is an artist based in Chicago and published several books with 2dcloud, Perfectly Acceptable Press and Believed Behavior. I saw her work in her wonderful studio in Chicago. Beautiful dark drawings of unknown animals and people in different formats were hanging next and on top of each other. I’m so impressed by the unusual look and colors, unlike anything I have ever seen before. Looking at Margots drawings feels like you’re getting lost in someones sacred chamber. Margot gave us a little insight to her art and we are so happy to show her work at The Millionaires Club!

I admire your use of Typography. It is very unique in the comics world. How did you come with that look? Thanks! I don't know anything about typography or calligraphy...I feel like I'm a child just making shapes that are intuitive. I was trying to learn more about medieval manuscripts at the time and took at lot from that. There's a weird quality to those written letters that I don't really know how to articulate. I read that at the time the act of reading was really different from what it is now - you wouldn't necessarily sit down and read a book silently to yourself, you would read to speak the words out loud. I think you can sense that when you look at that stuff. The letters seem more physical, they come from the mouth and body instead of the mind... they're more connected to voice and action.  

Poetry is the leading narrative in most of your books. Who are the writers that inspire you the most? What are you reading lately? I actually don't read much poetry and I'm pretty unfamiliar that world! I also have never thought of my work or writing as poetry. I think I took more inspiration from song lyrics, which I guess are similar to poetry anyway? I was thinking about D'angelo a lot while making my book Yours. Maybe it's not so much the words themselves but the delivery that I think about. I do think about Emily Dickinson a lot though because of how compact and powerful her language is. Her original manuscripts were a huge inspiration to me too- her handwriting has this weird, amazing sensitivity, very visceral and expressive but never flashy. Even her placement of words on a piece of paper is expressive and meaningful. She would write on envelopes and irregularly shaped scraps of paper and always seemed aware of the space and borders of the writing surface. Maybe that's kind of off topic though!

Your work seems very personal but yet abstract. How important is it for you that the reader is able to grasp your visual code?   It's very important to me! I really really want people to understand what I'm making and one of my major goals moving forward is to make my work more accessible. I hadn't really thought about it that much when I made my book Yours...I'm always worried that book comes off as too inward gazing or too self-indulgent. I just really needed to make something cathartic at the time and maybe it didn't matter whether or not anyone one else could enter the work. That work is still important to me but I really want to go back to making narratives where there's more room for a reader to move around and interpret things.

You changed your artist name from Sarah Ferrick to Margot Ferrick last year. What was the reason for this transformation? I think I really just needed the sense of control. There's a lot of other reasons that might not make as much sense if I try to explain it... Margot is what I would've named a child if I had one, my grandmother's name was Margaret, the ballerina Margot Fonteyn is important to me... I guess I also felt like the part of me that was Sarah died in some way. Also, Sarah I think means "princess" or "lady" and I sort of stopped resonating with that meaning. Margot seems like an older creature to me and I associate more with queens (there was a French queen named  Margot.)

What are you working on at the moment? I have a lot of stories with characters I want to work on! Maybe longer narratives. I have a story about swan people, it's maybe the closest I'll ever get to sci-fi and it requires a lot of research and world-building. It's maybe like a better version of something I would have made as a teenager.

Thank you so much, Margot. See you soon in Leipzig!

[homosociallyyours]

Firing right back atcha, Sosh! 11, 13, 16 for the 3 songs ask meme, if you would! ;-p

aww, thanks babe!! 

11)  three favourite songs from movie or TV series soundtrack“Tempted (94)” (Squeeze) from the Reality Bites soundtrack, which was definitely a touchstone for my generation. EVERYONE had it.  “Supermodel” (Jill Sobule) from the Clueless soundtrack. ALSO a generational touchstone, and Jill is definitely one of my fave queer singer/songwriters. She’s funny and smart and a total fuckin weirdo.“Love is Strange” (Mickey & Sylvia) from the Dirty Dancing soundtrack. Yeah, again, everyone had this soundtrack. I remember someone setting up a boombox in the hallway and all my 5th grade class singing this song. We loved it and it holds up. 

13) three songs you want at your funeral“The Wood Song” by the Indigo Girls. “Don’t Stop Me Now” by Queen“If You Want to Sing Out, Sing Out” by Cat Stevens

16) three favourite songs for sexOK, so I actually don’t listen to music during sex intentionally unless it’s as a joke! And I haven’t had sex in a long time anyway, so I’ve got nothing favorite. But here are some historic ones?“I’m So Excited” (Le Tigre): Had sex while this song played several times during a short relationship in 2004 and still can’t hear it without feeling sad? (Yeah, I just sighed nostalgically with the first chords, fuck). “Fumbling Toward Ecstasy” (Sarah McLachlan): The whole album. I actually made my first gf have sex to this album and stopped to sing “Ice Cream” to her because it was funny. But seriously, if you wanna have some earnest lesbian sex, put this shit on. It’ll never disappoint! (hmu if you need the pacing)“Drive” (Melissa Ferrick): This song! I am genuinely gagging and cringing over it. I think I had sex with this playing with that same first girlfriend, again for jokes. IT IS THE WORST. It’s so serious, it’s the equivalent of someone making you maintain eye contact for the duration of oral sex, like...no. I wanna close my eyes! I do not want to look at you! YOU WILL NOT HOLD ME UP, NOR WILL YOU DRIVE ME, MELISSA!! 

one time a lesbian almost kicked me out of her car for saying i didn’t love melissa ferrick and i had to lie and say i loved “drive” and it was a shameful moment but worth it to reach my destination.

Please if you are a lesbian who wants to send me hate for hating “drive” know that i will block and delete.
