TAIDMU: Text and Image Don’t Match Up with Cathy Mayer - Blue Stoop

In this workshop, Cathy plays with matching—and mismatching—text and image. There are many reasons comics artists create a disparity between the two: for comedic effect, to imbue a scene with feeling, to muddle time and place. Cathy looks at effective examples of this in contemporary comics and creates a mismatched comic of her own. Streamed live by Blue Stoop on April 11, 2024.
