Comic artist and Michigan native, Jeffrey Brown has gained much renowned for his trio of books dedicated to past relationships, the self-published Clumsy (2003), Unlikely (2003) and AEIOU: An Easy Intimacy (2005), as well as more recent comic works The Incredible Change-bots (a Transformers parody) and his most recent work Funny Misshapen Body: A Memoir. His work is simultaneously wry and sincere, crude yet beautiful and emotional. His simple, sweet, illustrated novels, composed of snippets and snapshots of everyday life, have drawn attention to Brown from established comic icons like Chris Ware (Jimmy Corrigan, Acme Novelty Datebook) and Daniel Clowes (Eightball, Ghost World), and more mainstream praise from Ira Glass and his This American Life program on National Public Radio on which Brown has appeared to discuss his work. Jeffrey Brown will present a lecture about his own work and about the fumbles and foibles of being an independent comic artists/illustrator today.
