Wow! This is actually really great, and most of these classes seem to have sets of videotaped lectures for the classes!
Am reading a bit about Paul Clayton, collector/performer of folk songs, sea songs especially, part of New York’s mid-century folk revival scene, and tragic figure himself. A wikipedia here, biography here, playlist here. A very calm, knowledgeable voice. Anyone who sings about Lady Franklin is good in my books (she was cool), and hey, how about that “from the days of Moby Dick” album art?
I was at Thought Bubble this past week in Leeds, and spent a little time with friends in the UK. As often happens, I made some sketches here and there, click through for those.
Inspiring! I’ve seen so, so many of those old cartoons where the joke is a woman as a stupid secretary, shrill wife, terrible driver, etc. I cannot imagine being a lady cartoonist going against those entrenched norms in a profession dominated by men, thank you Comics Journal for the profile on this thoughtful lady and her work!
This is an article I blogged way back in the beginning of this tumblr when I had not many followers. I think Betty Swords deserves a second go with a bigger audience. I have much respect for my predecessors.
Good morning! Another day, another comic. Just click through! This one is about Edward, the Black Prince! It is in celebration of heading to Leeds this weekend for Thought Bubble, which I am very excited for! There is a big ol’ statue of him there. Becky Cloonan and I are fans. She’ll be there too! A lot of great people will be, possibly even… YOU?
And at the bottom of the comic, you’ll notice a link to the new shirts in the store, which I am just going to keep on reminding you about. Get ‘em while they’re hot.
There was so much hubbub then that the interviews/travel felt like a whirlwind, so it’s nice at this point to appreciate how many genuinely cool things I got to do at that time. Jesse is pretty great!
edit - for some reason I can’t get that audio to work, but the text link works! I’m a dummy with this stuff, even on tumblr.
