JERRY CRAFT

JERRY CRAFT



I could not find out Jerry Craft brith date but this is what I found after receiving a B.F.A. degree from the School Of Visual Arts in New York City, Jerry Craft worked on several comic books. For instance, he worked on Barbara Slate's Sweet 16 for Marvel Comics and New Kids On The Block for Harvey Comics. Mr. Craft's comic strips have appeared in Ebony magazine, Jewish Week, King Features' Laff-A-Day panel, The New York Daily News, and The Village Voice.

In 1995, his comic strip, Mama's Boyz, was picked up by the King Features Weekly Service - a collection of cartoons and columns that are distributed to over 1,500 newspapers and magazines around the world; also, Mama's Boyz comic strip runs regularly in supplements of the New York Daily News for special occasions such as Black History Month and Kwanzaa. The Mama's Boyz characters are the national spokes characters for the American Diabetes Association; moreover, Jerry Craft was presented with the American Diabetes Association's Outstanding Supporter Award for his work during National Diabetes month.
I picked Jerry Craft for this project because I read his comics everyday and I enjoy them. This is why I picked him
