Illustrator Elizabeth Haidle uses nontraditional comics to capture the intangible and manipulate time.
In this softly persuasive pitch for not postponing comics, we are coaxed to embrace experimentation and use art as a tool for thoughtful exploration and documenting hard to grasp experiences. Through the humorous lens of illustrator Elizabeth Haidle we discover multiple ways to experience life one moment, or one tiny shape, at a time. As a bonus, Elizabeth ends her talk playing a surrealist party game with the audience, drawing random questions and answers to see what might result.
