Comics/ Ben Humeniuk
from We Art Here Hosted by WeArtHere
In this episode we had a delightful conversation with Ben Humeniuk, who is a cartoonist and educator from Texas. He creates comics and graphic novels for YA and middle-grade readers. We discussed some of our most favorite comics, how comics serve as literature in the classroom, and the importance of community. We also of course discussed his journey of how he became a cartoonist. We present a brief history of using comics in education. Contact Ben by email, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, or Art Tumblr. Check out some of Ben's most recent projects below or on his website: The Magnificent Makers is Ben's graphic novel project, from PowerKids Press. In this graphic novel, four friends in an after-school Makers club navigate high school (and life!) by applying STEM principles and projects to real-world problems– with a dash of heart and comedy for good measure. Waking Life is Ben's ongoing graphic novel series, published by Comicker Press. Book One is available in print via Amazon, and Emerald City Comics Distro. Book One through Book Nine(as of December 6, 2020) are also available to read digitally on the following platforms: Kindle • ComiXology • DriveThruComics • Hoopla Digital • Free-to-read webcomic
