Indie Comics Festivals and Thinking Online
I was gonna make the last part say "Thinking Aloud," but for god's sake this is the internet: the only thing aloud about these thoughts are the typing noises!
First thing's first: I'm gonna be tabling at the Olympia Comics Festival in WA this Saturday, June 5th! I'll be sharing a big-ass table with the incomparable Mische Litvak and the fine folks putting on the Eye Candy Animation Festival (to take place immediately after the comics festival). For anybody who wants to check it out, it's at the Olympia Center downtown and it's going on from 11:30 AM to 4:30 PM. There's also gonna be a stage show from 6 - 8 PM for $5 at the Capitol Theatre, so don't flee the fray too quickly. ;)
So yeah - comics, stage shows, and animation from 11:30 AM - 9:00 PM. THINK YOU CAN HANDLE IT?!
I'm gonna be selling copies of Blackbirds Issue #1, my minis Blackbirds: Sarah's Day and Queer, decorative buttons, full-color art prints, and on-the-spot commissions. I'll also be handing out free samplers of my webcomic Race Drag and my one-shot-in-progress A Colorful Character.
Why, yes, I did just refer to Blackbirds as "Issue #1" because I have officially decided to continue the story. Issue #2 is in its pre-production stage as we speak. :)
More pressingly, however, I have to finish my creative project for class. It's my very last undergraduate assignment ever before I receive my BA - ain't that neat?! I'm making it a poem that personifies the most salient aspects of my sociopolitical identity and shows how they interact to form the person that I am today. It's all very relevant to one of the major aspects of psychology program, which is the only real requirement for the project aside from it being creative. Right now I'm thinking the identities I'll play with are my race, gender, class, language, sexual, regional, and ethnic identities. I'd like to portray as my race as a set of twins since I am biracial. Anyway, this was the thinking/typing aloud/online/what-have-you part. Short as it was, it got my brain meat sloshing around in a smooth, yet appetizingly chunky rhythm.
What is up with that metaphor, y'all?
Peace out for now! Gotta save them metaphors for the poetry!
