@dc_manea @brookes_gareth @MJHibbett @Thmsgbhrt If you cannot draw, you edit and sample, experiment with materials and layout, but eventually you cannot escape making comics about your academic interests and commenting on events in comics form, says @ernestopriego at #comicsforum23.

@dc_manea @brookes_gareth @MJHibbett @Thmsgbhrt We close the day with a keynote on practice-based research, held by three artist-academics. First, Zu Dominiak talks about her 3D comics and inspiring interactive comics exhibitions at #comicsforum23.
