I updated my comic book learning portal! On this page I post curated links for comics creators, to resources about making comics and making a living: bigredhair.com/about/teaching… #teachingcomics
This page has my curated resource links for educators and librarians, about using comic books as a teaching aid, studying comics, teaching how to make them, and graphic novels in libraries: bigredhair.com/about/teaching… #teachingcomics
This one's for parents and young readers, with my curated links to all-ages graphic novel publishers, recommended reading lists by age group, activity books, and more: bigredhair.com/about/teaching… #teachingcomics
Here's my free guide to comic book writing (with a little assist from graphics by @scottmccloud and @Boilerplate1893), which is a good starting point for newbies: bigredhair.com/about/teaching… #teachingcomics
Do you have a fave resource for #teachingcomics that I should add? Tell me what it is! Last but not least, this page has sample comic book scripts, plot outlines, and art, plus a direct link to the Comic Book Script Archive hosted by @ComicExperience: bigredhair.com/about/teaching…

I've been looking at a lot of #comics/GN publishers' submission pages recently and one thing they nearly all have in common is a lack of information about what I, as a creator, might expect from a partnership.
Why would I favour x publisher over y publisher? What do they offer in terms of marketing, events, coverage? These differ greatly from publisher to publisher so wouldn't it make sense to be a bit more explicit?
Both as a story teller and in my main job as a writer of copy, one of my most important skills is to put myself in the position of a reader: what do they not know, and how can I convey it clearly? Publishers could do with a bit of that too!

I get asked something like this at every convention and often through email or DMs: "Could you give advice on pitching ideas to companies?"
Presumably, because I've been in a position to be on the receiving end of the pitch process. Well buckle up, we're going on a short ride!
This advice is free and it's relatively simply to follow. Your mileage may vary (so many car metaphors), so I hold no responsibility here.
#1 - Check their website to make sure they accept submissions. Some will open submissions from time to time, so you may have to wait a bit.
#2 - See how they want to receive submissions (ie: link to a pitch package, attached to an email, mailed copy of package) and in what format they want that package submitted (PDF, a Word document and jpegs, physical print...that sort of thing).

With the upcoming Neil-Gaiman-orchestrated "Dreaming" line at DC comics, I thought it might be time to revisit Neil Gaiman's wonderful "Sandman."

(Sandman: Overture #1.)
It's funny, I was just thinking today about the late sixties paranoia about cultural psychosis and insanity.

Modern pop culture is similarly fixated on the idea of insanity rippling through the popular unconscious.

"Legion", "Westworld", etc.

(Sandman: Overture #2.)
It's almost surprising that it took as long as it did for Gaiman to write for "Doctor Who."

Gaiman's abstract/symbolic cosmos is very much in keeping with Russell T. Davies' approach to concepts like "the Time War."

After rummaging through a closet that I swear employs TARDIS technology, I found the @TerryMooreArt books I was looking for, + a few I had plumb forgot about. I'll spread these pics out over several days.
While the cover art may be familiar, these aren't actually SiP comic books.
I'll post another pic later this evening. (FYI: I'm in CA.) Years ago, Maida Carpio Scott (RIP) posted a then comprehensive @TerryMooreArt checklist online. Alas, that site appears to be defunct. Many of the publications I'll be spotlighting were on that list, but a few were not.
Not the pic I planned on sharing tonight, but fate intervened. It was announced today that @realbdw will be reprising his Lando role in SW IX. Issue 5 of @DarkHorseComics 1999 @StarWars Tales features Lando covers (photo cover shown) and the @TerryMooreArt story A Summer's Dream.

Many things might spring to mind when someone says the word assessment, so this thread aims to clarify that our Assessment Lead Programme is nothing to do with data drops or tracking systems but everything to do with using the craft of assessment to support teaching & learning
When we talk about assessment, we’re referring to a planned, purposeful process that produces valuable information that leads to better decisions about #teaching & #learning
By supporting you to make your assessment practice & approach more effective & efficient, you can do more with less for a more manageable & meaningful use of #assessment
