Greenwich Cartoonist to Discuss the Business of Her Art

Syndicated cartoonist and Greenwich native Maria Scrivan will share her funniest cartoons from her newspaper comic Half Full and talk about the business side of cartooning in a presentation next week at Greenwich Library.

Scrivan will give a visual and entertaining presentation about her own career as a syndicated cartoonist and licensing artist, and the appearance of her work in MAD Magazine and on national television. For patrons interested in the cartooning process, Scrivan will address the age-old question “Where do you get your ideas?”

Scrivan’s program will be held from 7 to 9 p.m. Wednesday, Jan. 13 in the Meeting Room of Greenwich Library, 101 W. Putnam Ave.

Scrivan majored in Fine Arts at Clark University and began her career in interactive advertising, graphic and web design before becoming a full-time cartoonist. Half Full is a daily panel about the truths and trials of everyday life, featuring a wide range of topics from technology to modern society, and appears daily in newspapers across the country including the Los Angeles Times. Her work has appeared in national newspapers, Mad Magazine and The New Yorker. For more information visit www.mariascrivan.com.
