Carol Tyler (born 1951) is an American painter, educator, comedian, and Eisner Award-nominated cartoonist known for her autobiographical stories. == Biography == Born and raised in Chicago, Illinois, Tyler became interested in the underground comics movement while pursuing a master's degree in painting at Syracuse University in the early 1980s.〔 This interest brought her to the underground comics hotbed of San Francisco.〔Ramos, Steve. "(Drawn to Be an Artist: Clifton cartoonist Carol Tyler is a late bloomer )". ''Cincinnati CityBeat'' (August 31, 2005).〕 Her first comics publication was the 1987 story "Uncovered Property", in ''Weirdo''. Tyler's short slice-of-life stories and her distinctive artwork brought her critical attention as one of a growing number of female artists shaping the direction of underground/alternative comics in North America in the 1980s; she appeared in the influential feminist anthologies ''Wimmen's Comix'' and ''Twisted Sisters''. Her first solo book, ''The Job Thing'', was published in 1993. Previously known mostly for black-and-white drawings, the change in technology in the 1990s allowed for her to incorporate more color into her comics. She produced short comics for publications including ''Zero Zero'', ''Drawn and Quarterly'', ''LA Weekly'' and ''Pulse!''. Also in the 90s, Tyler (under the alias Marion Linthead) performed comedy with the Rick & Ruby Patio Show at LA’s Comedy Store.〔〔 Her second solo work ''Late Bloomer'', with an introduction by Robert Crumb, was published by Fantagraphics in 2005. It's a career highlight collection including both previously published and new material. In his foreword, R. Crumb says, "She's tops in my book. One of the best artists alive and working in the comics medium. Her work has the extremely rare quality of authentic HEART. Hers are the only comics that ever brought me to the verge of tears."〔Crumb, R. introduction, ''Late Bloomer'' (Fantagraphics, 2005).〕 Tyler's most recent completed project was a trilogy. ''You'll Never Know'' is her search for the truth about what happened to her father during World War II, and also about the damage his war had on her future relationships. ''Book One: A Good & Decent Man'' was released in May 2009. ''Book Two: Collateral Damage'' was released in July, 2010.〔(Tyler interview, )"Around Cincinnati," 91.7 WVXU Cincinnati. Accessed July 7, 2010.〕 The final installment of the trilogy, ''Book Three: Soldier's Heart'' was released in October 2012. Tyler lives in Cincinnati and teaches a very lively and popular class on comics, graphic novels & sequential art at the University of Cincinnati College of Design, Architecture, Art, and Planning.〔 She has brought her current book theme, military service, into the classroom.〔Reilly, M.B. ("Arts Innovation for the 21st Century: Instructor Makes Serious Use of Comics to Help Veterans," ) ''University of Cincinnati News'' (March 3, 2009).〕〔Reilly, M.B. ("Just in Time for Memorial Day: UC Arts Leadership Brings 'Comic Relief' to Veterans," ) ''University of Cincinnati News'' (May 19, 2009).〕〔. Accessed Jan. 14, 2014.〕 Her most current cartooning endeavor is a series of one-page stories called "Tomatoes" for ''Cincinnati Magazine''. Based upon her experiences of growing tomatoes and friendships in the heart of the city, "Tomatoes" appears monthly on the inside back page. Tyler is also a Residency artist in the Arts Learning Program with the Ohio Arts Council.〔("Residency Artist - Visual Arts: Carol Tyler," Ohio Arts Council. ) Accessed July 7, 2010.〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Carol Tyler」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
