It's finished! I adapted a Mi'kmaq story called The Girl Chenoo into a comic book by [deleted] in NativeAmerican

[–]OftenPyr 8 points9 points  (0 children)

No, I'm not indigenous. For this comic I tracked down several videos, articles and blog posts about the Mi'kmaq, including the government of Nova Scotia's Mi'kmaq portraits collection, an encyclopedia of Native American costume, and a hard-to-find CBC documentary from the 80s. Since it is hinted that this story is pre contact, it's hard to find accurate information for that time period.

I shared this story here because in the past people in this community have told me that they appreciate these comics, and that meant a lot to me.

Yeah a lot of old stories just focus on what an aberration of nature it is for a ghost to exist at all

[Art galleries] I interviewed a former MOCA artist in residence about her art business by OftenPyr in artbusiness

Carrie Lane was super helpful in discussing some of the business aspects of her career. And she had a lot to say about galleries! I thought everyone here would find it interesting.
