Draw the Line by Myfanwy Tristram and the DTL artists

See you in New York?

Due to a crazy set of circumstances, I’ll be in New York later this month.

I thought I might as well make the most of the opportunity, so – thanks to a lot of help from my publisher Street Noise Books, I’m going to be doing a panel and zine workshop at the Society of Illustrators.

Draw the lie: creating activist art today

Please do help spread the word – I’m not sure how many people I know in NYC, so my attempted promotional activities feel a bit feeble :) If you know anyone who’s into comics, activism or just learning new things, let them know! 

I’ll be joined by Tracy White and Joan Reilly. Tracy has just published Unaccompanied, true stories of teenagers seeking asylum in the US: 

Cover of 'Unaccompanied: stories of brave teenagers seeking asylum'. a silhouetted figure runs through the forest in the night. stars, leaves.

and Joan art-designed Among the Liberal Elite: The Road Trip Exploring Societal Inequities Solidified by Trump, just one of her many interesting projects around comics.

'Among the Liberal Elite: The Road Trip Exploring Societal Inequities Solidified by Trump,' A man with a cat in a baby carrier and a woman with a sun hat and a crossbody bag stand arm in arm. Behind them is the bonnet of a yellow car.

Both artists contributed to Draw the Line. Joan’s image introduced the concept of craftivism:

Craft is a tangible means of communication. Images depict suffragettes with embroidered umbrellas, Gandhi with a portable spinning wheel, the Aids memorial quilt and Sarah Corbett's handkerchief campaign.

Tracy’s was added for the US edition, and illustrated the idea of ‘listen to refugees’.
