The Penciltown Bump-In is a mini episode where we will be “bumping into” our fellow storytellers on the busy streets of Penciltown. We’ll take a few minutes to catch up, see what they’re up to, who they’ve been working with, what they’ve been obsessing over and inspired by, and they might just be willing to share some of the exciting narrative discoveries they have made of late.
Our first guest is Romanian-Canadian cartoonist Maria Stoian. Her comics have appeared in the New Yorker, The Nib, and print anthologies such as Drawing Power. Her graphic novel Take It As a Compliment is a collection of real-life stories of sexual violence. Maria’s work can be found online on Instagram: @maria_stoian, and much of her comic work can be found at The Nib.
Maria's Recommendations:
Heather Parry
The End of Policing by Alex S. Vitale
Kipo and the Age of Wonderbeasts (Dreamworks), streaming on Netflix
Samurai Jack (Cartoon Network, Adult Swim)
The Hard Tomorrow by Eleanor Davis
Sarah Glidden - comics, essays, illustration
Hera Lindsay Bird - poet
Here in PENCILTOWN we examine the craft of storytelling through comics, films, book, poetry, wherever our curiosity may take us. Our ultimate goal is to bring our discoveries back into the world of comics, to enrich our storytelling and create more emotional and engaging narratives.
