Ready for the World: Independence

This week, I talked (on the bus) with Ophelia Deng, a senior in both International Studies and Art & Design.We talked about the main skill Stamps teaches – whether it intends to or not – which is self-sufficiency.

As a Stamps student myself, it was nice to discuss career prep for aspiring artists with someone going through the same educational experience. It’s oddly comforting to hear that a talented graduating senior feels just as frustrated and unprepared as I do. It makes it seem okay that I don’t really know what I’m doing.

Here’s a throwback to my first post for anyone who’s been reading since then .. German is definitely going better than Vietnamese so far. And a little bit of vocab for you all as well!

This week, I had the opportunity to catch up with Juliet Schlefer, a junior in the School of Music, Theater & Dance majoring in Vocal Performance. You can catch her in the Thursday and Saturday shows of SMTD’s production of Die Fledermaus, which will be running at the Lydia Mendelssohn Theatre from March 26 – 29.

My girlfriend’s apartment is right between two sets of train tracks. At night, when we catch one going by in the dark, it feels like magic.

I’m trying out this 3 row page layout instead of my usual 4 row layout. I’m still fairly new to comics so I want to test different strategies for storytelling and figure out what works best for me. Not sure about this one yet, I might switch back next week, but first impressions: 3 rows means I make less panels overall than the previous layout, so the visual narrative needs to be more succinct, but I can put a little more time and detail into each panel. If anyone has a favorite comic layout or suggestions and would like to share, I’d love to hear it!

Basil + Gideon is an ongoing narrative comic, if this is your first time reading check out the first installment here!

This week, I talked with Jacob Ward, a sophomore studying clarinet performance in the School of Music, Theater, & Dance. Outside of class, you can also find him working for SHEI Magazine or the University of Michigan Museum of Art.
