Steenz Pronouns: They/Them I enjoyed Steenz’s visit via Zoom as they discussed their work and answered questions about their life while trying to get into a full-time cartoonist. They discussed their struggles and some good experiences that they had. Their journey was different than most cartoonists, for example, Jerry Craft as Steenz blew up relatively…

Steenz Reflection Upon her visit to the class, Steenz began by discussing her professional journey and how she arrived at her current position.  Steenz has a strong passion for comics and participated in our class discussion about their significance. A point that she made that really stuck to me was that comics can be viewed…

Steenz first introduced herself and then went into detail about her timeline and life events that have led her to where she is now. I loved hearing about that because it was extremely interesting to hear how she got connected and fell into such a unique career path. She seems like she loves what she…

Steenz visit to class was the most fun I had learning with a guest. They were so knowledgeable in the comic-making world. The process of making a comic is so much more than I thought.

We had the pleasure of having Steenz visit our classroom and give a presentation about their life and work. They talked mostly about their comics and their work, both professionally and within the community. One of my clearest takeaways was that developing a welcoming, accessible community is one of their main goals in the comic…

Steenz gave an amazing presentation last week. Her thoughtful presentation showed the step-by-step process of how a cartoonist makes cartoons for her job. She integrates digital art, storytelling, and inking into her process. Her path to becoming a cartoonist seemed convoluted at first, but once she explained her decisions, her journey is a great example…

Steenz visited UR last week to discuss her story of becoming a cartoonist. Steenz kept explaining how she ended up taking over the “heart of the city” and why she enjoys it so much.    Steenz stressed that she doesn’t own the comic but is only working for the company. Steenz’s position seems to be…
