Today we are breaking our general rule of talking mostly about autobiographical work to dive into a conversation with artist Jessica Campbell, whose compelling graphic novel Rave is out today.
Exciting! I, too, am from Victoria BC and did a BFA in painting at Concordia University. And though I'm lagging far behind Jessica in terms of trajectory, I too am a painter who's been exploring graphic memoir. I have a show coming up with all of this exploratory work, and then I'll be starting the paintings for the graphic memoir in earnest. AND I'll be buying Jessica's book.
