In a collaboration with Jackson Comics, I had the exciting task of illustrating scenes from Mississippi for their first issue, and my choice naturally gravitated towards the heartbeat of Jackson - the iconic Jackson State University band. This musical institution is more than a group; it's a cultural phenomenon, a living testament to the city's rich heritage.
Jackson Comics is the first comic book anthology created solely by Mississippi artists, and serves as a celebration of our state capital's bicentennial. Local artists have been commissioned to tell their own unique stories in their own unique styles - from dystopian sci-fis to abstract visual poems, from tales of horror to stories of childhood memories in the city, all featuring the city of Jackson. This 30+ page comic book is the first of its kind. It is a celebration of not only Jackson, but also the artist community of Mississippi.
