Sleep, Dreams, and Imagination in Szymon Kudranski’s “Something Epic”

by Unknown's avatar

Sometimes, right before I wake up, I hear sounds. The sound arrives in my mind, I wake up, and then the sound occurs in my ears. This all takes place in a split second, the recognition of the sound, a beat, then the actual sound. I’m not a neuroscientist, and I can’t explain it.

Words and Reality in Szymon Kudranski’s “Something Epic”

by Unknown's avatar

Last post, I wrote about reality in Szymon Kudranski’s Something Epic #1.

“I am not a ‘thing’”: Student Project for Graphic Narrative/Script Assignment Part III

by Unknown's avatar

Over the past couple of posts, I’ve written about the Graphic Narrative/Script assignment in I assigned in my “Monsters, Race, and Comics” course and on two of the student created products in that class. Today, I want to continue by looking at a final student created product, one that, again, draws heavily on Pornask Pichetshote and Aaron Campbell’s Infidel and Carmen Maria Machado and Dan’s The Low, Low Woods as well as … Read More “I am not a ‘thing’”: Student Project for Graphic Narrative/Script Assignment Part III
