Q1 Thoughts:
So last Thursday I had an idea to make a quarterly newsletter. I wanted to update people on what's going on with me, my kickstarter, and life because the past few months have been quite eventful. At my job, I work on company newsletters and emails when tasked to do so and I thought it'd be an interesting format to convey a message with. So every day this week, I drew a page of this comic and decided to call it Q1. The idea then evolved, because the initial concept was kind of self-indulgent. Just me telling stories of what happening in my life, but then I had a bigger idea. If many people share their stories, I'm not self indulgent, I'd be one of many. So as I drew this, I started reaching out to other artists and creative people I know about Q2.
My Vision for Q2....
A collection of stories, illustrations, poems, paintings, and sculptures gathered into a zine.
Recounting experiences that occurred during the first quarter of 2017 (jan-mar)
Providing contemporaries stories that chronicle a specific time. I would also not be drawing them, just my portion of the newsletter.
I literally had this idea last week and decided to run with it. I have reached out to several people and I'm excited to move forward with this. If you are interested in contributing to this little idea email me at jtguilyard@gmail.com.
