Rhys - Comics & Graphic Novels

"I’ve been interested in art since I was a child," says Rhys Anderson. "That’s why I chose to come to Camosun. I was looking at a career in character design and concept art for videogames, TV, movies and other media, and the Comics and Graphic Novels program seemed like a good fit. The program is an excellent opportunity to learn many of the skills I’ll need for my future!" Unfortunately for Rhys, during her second semester, she had a relapse of a chronic illness and wasn’t able to attend her classes for most of the semester. "My teachers were incredibly understanding regarding my time off and willing to work with me on making my assignments and deadlines work for me. They really went above and beyond to check up on me and make sure I was doing alright." Now that she’s completed the program Rhys provides some wise advice. "You’ll meet lifelong friends at Camosun! Make sure to branch out and don’t limit yourself to one area; make friends with people in other courses who don’t always have all the same interests as you."

The program is an excellent opportunity to learn many of the skills I’ll need for my future!
