comics by katie skelly

my objectives as a cartoonist:

-to work within the language of comic clichés and archetypes, to resist fulfilling conventional narrative resolutions in favor of self-reflexivity

-to explore themes of bad faith, misrepresentation, and the absurd

-to develop an analog visual vocabulary based in black and white form

in short, my list of priorities when making a comic:

1. Structure
2. Refusing Structure
3. Reviving Structure
4. Black and White Visual Tension
5. Shift Dresses
6. Anecdotal Ideas of Plot
