| "Man Made Monsters" BFA Illustration & Cartooning Thesis Exhibition |
Thesis year was a major turning point in my cartooning career.
This was not due to all the hype built around the project or its accompanying
thesis show. Instead, I owe part of my success to the framework of the project,
one of the many elements which came together to pull me out of the failures and
bad habits of my sophomore year.
In this inaugural weekly series for the Keep It Steady
Initiative, I’m going to break down my journey to a better work ethic into
advice which I hope will be useful to other students and cartoonists tackling
their own thesis comics or any long-term work. This week’s post focuses on
process and expectations, with a section dedicated to those who treat their
work too preciously.
