From the gallery to graphic novels, Jessica Campbell’s work often wields humor as a device to help one come to terms with its darker subject matter. In this master class with the artist, you’ll participate in fast-paced exercises to develop ideas for comic strips that are at once funny and revealing of complex truths. From generating an idea to drawing and producing a finished work, Campbell will give you a crash course in cartooning.
Campbell is the author of three graphic novels, including RAVE (Drawn and Quarterly, 2022), XTC69 (Koyama Press, 2018), and Hot or Not: 20th Century Male Artists (Koyama Press, 2016).
Organized in conjunction with Jessica Campbell: Heterodoxy.
Jessica Campbell is a multidisciplinary artist and author working in comics, fibers, painting, drawing, and performance. Drawing on a wide range of influences, including science fiction, art world politics, and her evangelical upbringing, Campbell explores ways to reflect heterogeneity through a combination of disparate media, subjects, and tone. Whether through cartoony depictions or the use of unorthodox material, her work often wields humor as a device to help one come to terms with its darker subject matter.
