Audio from the Joe Sacco Comics Journalism Panel @Stanford, 6/5/11

That’s right, click here for the full 1.5 hr audio of “The World in Frames” panel organized at Stanford last week. Featuring Andrea Lunsford (Professor of English), Adam Johnson (Assoc Professor in English and Creative Writing), Adam Rosenblatt (Ph.D. Candidate, Modern Thought and Literature, representing the Program in Human Rights) and, of course, myself (Comics Journalist, John S. Knight Journalism Fellow).

Joe goes into detail on his process, what tools he uses (nibs and paper types, the whole shebang), his influences, and why he chose comics as the medium for his journalism.

Joe Sacco at Stanford TONIGHT, a new prototype and Hard Hats (pt.1) finally finished!

Reminder: myself and various other members of the Stanford comics community will be discussing comics journalism with Joe Sacco at Annenberg auditorium, 7pm tonight. If you’re curious about the above image, it’s a screenshot of my latest interactive prototype, which you can experiment with here. (It’s the most recent one, at the bottom).

I’ve also just contributed my first post to Graphic Journos.com, which is a comics journalism collective featuring Susie Cagle, Wendy Macnaughton, Matt Bors, Jen Sorensen and Sarah Glidden. As if that wasn’t enough, last night (well, technically in the wee hours of this morning, in the longstanding tradition of comics creators everywhere) I finally finished the first part (4o pages) of my graphic novel, “The Hard Hat Riots”, which I’ve co-written with Nikil Saval. More on that soon.
