Tell stories through images. Illuminate ideas. Express what words can’t. These sound like tall orders, but illustrators and comic artists face these challenges every time they pick up a pencil. And it’s not all about drawing, either; collage, paint and even digital media are tools of the trade these days. Tell your own story or translate someone else’s—these arts are as dynamic and versatile as your imagination.
