On April 24, I met with the students of the comics course at the School of Visual Arts (SVA) in New York, in Seth Tobocman’s class. This course has a long and significant history, having helped shape many of the most important voices in contemporary comics.
Over the years, SVA has counted among its faculty some of the most influential cartoonists and artists of the contemporary scene, including Will Eisner, Seth Tobocman, Howard Cruse, Martha Rosler, and Kris Kovick.
SVA was one of the first art schools in the United States to offer a dedicated program for comics and visual storytelling, marking a major turning point in the integration of comics into formal art education. It was an honor to share my experience for a few hours at this school.
