PREVIEWSworld:<\/b>\u00a0Who is your current comics employer?<\/p>\n

\u2028\u2028Carolyn Belefski:<\/b>\u00a0Curls Studio.<\/p>\n

PREVIEWSworld:<\/b>\u00a0What is your primary job title? In a quick phrase or two, could you define your job\u2019s key responsibility?<\/p>\n

\u2028\u2028Carolyn Belefski:<\/b>\u00a0Creative Director, all-encompassing roles ranging from writer, artist, letterer, colorist, editorial, promotion, and more<\/p>\n

PREVIEWSworld:<\/b>\u00a0Could you please explain how your work helps make comics a reality? (Connect the dots for us. Where are you in the flow of getting a book into reader’s hands?)<\/p>\n

\u2028\u2028Carolyn Belefski:<\/b>\u00a0Making a finished self-published product takes quite an amount of additional effort because once the book is completed your creative resources need to flip to the business side. I\u2019m there from start to finish: from when the idea comes into my head as I\u2019m brushing my teeth, to the creation of full art and story, then the production phase, and physically selling the books in-person to people. It\u2019s literally a hand-to-hand interaction: from my hand to the customer. It\u2019s great that the audience gets to meet actual creators when they attend comic conventions. Since 2013 I\u2019ve been making signing appearances during Free Comic Book Day at local stores. I\u2019ve also exhibited at zine fests, craft shows, and a used book store. I\u2019ve sold comics in many locations during book-related events: church, bowling alley, outside tent in a snowstorm, city hall, universities, art galleries, restaurants, fire department\u2026<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
