The Center of Cartoon Studies impressive lineup of Visiting Artists the first few weeks of the fall semester includes Bianca Xunise, Joe Sacco, Shing Yin Khor, R. Sikoryak, and Jeremy Sorese.
Joe Sacco (Footnotes in Gaza, Palestine, Safe Area Goražde) is best known for his journalism comics. His most recent book, Paying the Land, came out earlier this year from Metropolitan Books.
Shing Yin Khor (The American Dream?) is a multimedia artist and storyteller whose work is at the intersection of race, gender, immigrant stories, and queerness, with visual themes inspired by old museums, scientific illustration, and the quiet horror of colonial-era collecting. Her next book, The Legend of Auntie Po, comes out in Spring 2021 from Kokila / Penguin Random House.
Bianca Xunise is an illustrator and cartoonist who focuses on the plight and daily struggles of a young black feminist in modern society. Her tender and complex work won her an Ignatz Award for Promising New Talent. At the beginning of 2020, she joined Six Chix, a daily comic drawn by six different women (she’s Tuesday).
R. Sikoryak (Constitution Illustrated, Masterpiece Comics, Terms and Conditions, Unquotable Trump) teaches in the illustration department at Parsons School of Design, The New School and at The Center for Cartoon Studies.
Jeremy Sorese (Curveball) teaches at Parsons and his next book, For the Short While, comes out in 2021 from Archaia. In 2012-13, he lived in Angouleme, France for the comics residency at La Maison des Auteurs.
