Maybe An Artist, A Graphic Memoir von Liz Montague

There isn’t a lot of content to this book, but I enjoyed seeing Liz’s journey into pursuing art. I related to a lot of her struggles like, not knowing how to pick a major, figuring out whether to go to art school or not, rarely seeing black people in comics, and being a first-gen college student.

While I wish she would have explored in-depth how the New Yorker opportunity went (or maybe it was that instant), I liked this memoir.

Jackie Ormes Draws the Future: The Remarkable Life… von Liz Montague

Another fine introduction to Jackie Ormes, my third this year.

See also: Holding Her Own: The Exceptional Life of Jackie Ormes and Jackie Ormes: The First African American Woman Cartoonist.

None of these feel like the definitive statement on Ormes, but it's exciting to see so much interest in a person who deserves more attention.

Maybe An Artist, A Graphic Memoir von Liz Montague

Liz Montague details her journey from elementary school student to adult, being one of the few Black kids in her suburban town and trying to figure out what she wants to do with her life. This is a humorous and thoughtful telling, focused on life's grievances that would make her a successful cartoonist as a young adult. Teen readers will identify with her angst and be uplifted by the hope of everything working out the way it should.

Maybe An Artist, A Graphic Memoir von Liz Montague

graphic nonfiction - memoir of child who grows up to be a graphic illustrator

not sure who the audience is supposed to be-do middlegraders these days know about 9/11? or MySpace?--but the vocabulary and phrasing definitely suggests teens and older. More like an adult telling the story of their education/career choice with the addition of cartoons than a book geared towards the graphic novel-reading young kids of today. Not outstanding as such, but I liked the positive representation and the questions raised about racism as experienced by middleschoolers, etc.… (mehr)
