CAG! 86 – Getting Out From Under Your Medium with Jake Parker and Kohl Glass

Missile Mouse! Orc Wars! Jake Parker, Kohl Glass, and more!

There is so much to learn and master in making comics. Drawing, design, composition, pacing, color, and sound all stand ready to bewilder us as we try to communicate our ideas and stories.

And while intense work and study in our medium is often an honored notion, how might studying other mediums change how we view and choose between the various visual storytelling tools to which we have access?

It’s a fun discussion with NYT bestselling artist Jake Parker and Emmy Award-winning writer and director Kohl Glass on how to look at the comics medium afresh by studying other visual storytelling disciplines.
