I think this is a safe place for me to say that I cared less about the speakers for this assignment and cared more about the actual book fair itself. It was such a nice, new, and wonderful thing to experience. I visited some really nice booths, checked out artists who were selling zines, and even got to hear a bit from Bernie Sanders!I loved looking at the booths with older books the most and even bought myself an Alice in Wonderland pop up book, I will be bringing that beauty with me on Tuesday so that everyone can see!
I choose to pay the most attention to Leela Corman's work. I am a firm believer that comics can go beyond the small Archie comics that you see in the store, they can be stories that impact you or simply just pieces of art. Although Im not the biggest fan of her style I can still enjoy her work because to me its less about the art and more about the story. However I don't think that she sees it that way. To Leela I believe she was trying to get across that the art and the written story go hand in hand. Its not just a comic, its not just a Novel, and its not exactly a Graphic Novel either its just her way of communication.
I hope that my zines are able to get my story across while still being good works of art.
