Comics Artist Joel Christian Gill Launches BU’s New Visual Narrative MFA Degree
Joel Christian Gill is the director and a faculty member—along with Paul Karasik, lecturer in art—of BU’s new Master of Fine Arts in Visual Narrative program. There are about 10 such MFA programs in the country, he says. The program drew 11 students for last fall’s debut. They study with Gill in a third-floor classroom at the 808 Gallery. The degree is for illustrators interested in producing media such as comics and graphic books, picture books, and animation.
