1. 24 Hours of Women Cartoonists: Fionnuala Doran

fionnuala 24 Hours of Women Cartoonists: Fionnuala Doran

It was an inevitability that I’d mention Fionnuala Doran as one of our 24 women cartoonists. Having had work featured at various galleries around Ireland (where she hails from), she recently joined Studio YOLO under the keen, never-swaying eye of Dean Haspiel. Her work has a brilliant use of structure and style, cramping panels together in different and interesting ways to accentuate the important points in each sequence. Expressive and off-kilter, her artwork points her out as somebody I think we should all be watching out for in future. She’s my favourite!

She also has an obsession with corgis.  You can find more from her over on her site!

2. New on the scene: STUDIO YOLO

201212110259 New on the scene: STUDIO YOLO
New comics collective of the day, Studio YOLO which spun out of a cartooning residency with Dean Haspiel held at the Atlantic Center for the Arts in New Smyrna Beach, Florida. It consists of 8 cartoonists from around the world:

Christa Cassano
Fionnuala Doran (as seen above)
James Greene
George Jurard
Meghan Lands
Gregory Mackay
Jp Pollard
Jess Ruliffson
and YOLO emeritus Dean Haspiel

The group had its origin in an exercise during the residency:

During the residency, Dean proposed a challenge to Studio YOLO: to interpret a script with no visual cues, only text used as dialogue and/or narration into a fully realized comic that would later be published at TripCity.net

After the success of this exercise, Studio YOLO decided that new challenges be put forth with one of the members writing a similarly loose script for all the other members to interpret. In addition, Studio YOLO showcases a handful of guest artists whose work is published along with the founder’s work on the site. Anyone and everyone is encouraged to take the Studio YOLO challenge.

Studio YOLO is dedicated to telling quality stories and expanding upon the language of comics.

We had a chance to meet some of the YOLO folks at BCGF and you should definitely check out thelinks above.
