-
- Technology
Comics. Fan fiction. Horror. Gaming. So many niche markets of powerful subcultures where passionate Black fan bases and artists create a space for themselves because the "mainstream" doesn't recognize us. For this episode, Cruxers Tunisha and Joanna are joined by comic book creator, illustrator, digital sculpture, and colorist Micheline Hess to discuss how she made a career our of a childhood passion for drawing. Other topics of conversation include the concept of privilege in embracing technology and the arts for communities of color, representation in VR, and creating a genre of sociopolitical horror in comics with her comic book "Diary of a Mad, Black, Werewolf."
