Autobio comics, diary strips, graphic memoirs… There is a deep and wide tradition of drawing inspiration from the rhythms of artistic life, serving as the foundation for works both fictional and non. So how do contemporary cartoonists find fresh new ways to document the ups and downs of the creative life? How do creators bring their unique life experiences to their stories?

This lively discussion with Katie Fricas (Checked Out), Walter Scott (Wendy), and Andreas Schuster (Toby and the Pixies) will take you behind the scenes into the artist’s life, in all its unvarnished glory!
