Will Dinski Awarded An MCBA/Jerome Book Arts Fellowship
The cartoonist Will Dinski has been awarded the MCBA/Jerome Book Arts Fellowship. As he explained the award in a short e-mail, "Basically, I'm awarded funding to learn letterpress + papermaking with the final intent to create a letterpress comic book." The project is described on the awards page as "an artist's book on handmade paper that will contrast the stability of print with the ephemerality of the digital" by presenting URL addresses for 24 on-line comics, with the idea the context of the print comic as the comics expire or are moved. Dinski is an accomplished mini-comics maker and a past winner of the Isotope Award.
