The Center for Cartoon Studies is turning 10 this Fall!  That’s me in the blue and the glasses center middle on our gut-churning first day in 2011, and then with the blue again in middle front row, screaming my head off joy alongside my classmates at our 2013 graduation.  I’ve been pouring over my old photos and sketchbooks and thinking about how lucky I am that I came across a school like CCS at the perfect time in my life.  That I could run away to a small town in Vermont for two years to join some fellow nutjobs to share our love of comics, and work together to build stories and friendships, and find our path in the world.  And that I could make a M.F.A out of that experience to boot!

I learned how to make a career out of this stuff from some of the best teachers I’ve ever known, made deep and real friendships, and drew, and wrote, and drew, and listened, and taught, and drew, and drew, and walked, and drew, and wrote, and thought.  If you’re thinking CCS ( cartoonstudies ) might be the place for you - go, visit!  They’re always open to toonies.  Tour the campus!  Lounge in the library!  Enroll in a summer course!  It was the perfect place for me to find my footing, and it could be for you too.  

I think that everyone should take a look at these gorgeous drawings representing Women and their accomplishements in Science, by Rachel Ignotofksy - a fantastic illustrator and graphic designer. She also has a lil Etsy shop where she sells her prints here!!!
