Two years ago, I started Artful Comics on a whim. To many, comics are all

about men in leotards and capes or girls with magical powers. At least this is

what I thought until a few friends recommended Blankets and Maus to me,

and I realized one Sunday afternoon what a comic could be. I have always

been a dedicated writer and, though my art supplies tend to sit neglected in a

shoebox in my closet, I have even been known to draw. Comics seemed like

a great combination of these two areas.

The idea that a graphic novel could have the same emotional impact

\Ï�\�ê�¨¨�êÍ ÚÚ�¬�ą¨«�±Í�l±±§�ê\Ï��±Í� �¬�Ú±�«�|�\¬~�»Í ±Í�Ú±�Ú� Ï��ì»±ÏâÍ��

uncharted territory, which would explain why more colleges didn't have literary

magazines focused on comics, and I decided that Emerson should. Several

students got on board immediately, and their dedication and enthusiasm is

what kept the project moving forward. One of my most memorable moments

as Editor-in-Chief was watching these students, one after the other, speak

passionately to a faculty member about Artful Comics, this thing I had started

only months prior out of thin air, and realizing what it meant to them now.

I have had the pleasure of connecting a number of talented artists and

writers who went on to collaborate on projects we are all very proud of, and

I'm not sad to leave this organization because I know it is in the care of a

wonderful group of people.
