Jose-Luis Olivares is a 2nd year student at the Center for Cartoon Studies.

His guest strip is about the creative process.  The drawing is done loosely and quickly in a stream-of-consciousness style, which Jose-Luis says is “the kind of comic that gets my mind thinking and hand moving when I’m restless.”

At the moment he’s working on short comics for his personal anthology called Polite Fiction. He just finished Polite Fiction 2, which debuted at Expozine in Montreal.  Polite Fiction 1 is available to read and purchase online at www.joseluisolivares.com/blog and Polite Fiction 2 will be available for purchase there soon. He’s also working on a couple of children’s book pitches.
