I obviously have a vested interest in convincing you how great this issue is, so keep that in mind, but I really think that Warren Craghead’s piece on how to apply for art grants is worth two dollars by itself. Warren has won a number of prestigious grants, and he gives great, easy-to-follow advice that is specifically geared towards comics people who might not have experience with applying to these sorts of things. I think grants and residencies are great resources that more cartoonists could and should be taking advantage of, and Warren’s piece is great if you’re interested in this sort of thing but not sure where to start.
