IC3 Cartoonist Spotlight: Jerel Dye
IC3 • March 15, 2025 • New Haven CT
Indie Comics Creator Con (produced by Comic Art Fans) is excited to welcome back Jerel Dye for our second year!
Jerel Dye has illustrated two graphic novels; PIGS MIGHT FLY in 2017 and EINSTEIN in 2022, listed as one of the top 10 graphic novels of the year by ALA Booklist. He has been creating art and comics since 2005, producing dozens of self-published mini-comics and creating comic stories for anthologies such as INBOUND, MINIMUM PAIGE, HELLBOUND, and the award-winning Little Nemo/Winsor McCay tribute DREAM ANOTHER DREAM. In 2012, he received the MICE comics grant for his mini-comic From the ClOUDS.
Much of his art stems from a deep interest in science and technology, though it frequently contains a healthy dose of wonder. Jerel Dye received his BFA in Painting from UMass Dartmouth and his MFA in MassArt in the Studio for Interrelated Media. Jerel has been teaching courses in comics, drawing, and cartooning for 14 years at The Eliot School, MassArt, RISD, Leslie University, Hasbro, and others.
