On Thursday, October 8th, from 11am-12pm, Depth Of Field Magazine is proud to present Hip-Hop And Comics: Cultures Combining, a panel discussion at New York Comic-Con. This program looks at how comic books and Hip-Hop have grown from modest origins to achieve global impact, and how they have inspired and influenced each other in the process – not just within rap music and comic books, but also through skate/street fashion, graffiti, animation, breakdancing, kung fu films, and other related expressive forms.
Patrick A. Reed (editor of Depth Of Field Magazine) will moderate, and panelists include:
–Chali 2na (celebrated MC from Jurassic 5; photographer and visual artist)
–Eric Orr (creator of Rappin’ Max Robot, the first-ever Hip-Hop comic book, graffiti and fine artist, graphic designer)
–Adam Wallenta (co-creator of the Public Enemy comic book, MC, songwriter, illustrator)
–Ronald Wimberly (designer, illustrator, writer)
–Likwuid Stylez (MC, songwriter, producer)
–Johnny “Juice” Rosado (legendary DJ and turntablist)
-and other special surprise guests!
The panel runs one hour, and will be held in Room 1A21 of the Jacob Javits Convention Center in Manhattan. New York Comic-Con takes place October 8-13 – further information can be found at http://www.newyorkcomiccon.com
