UNL writing students will read their original fables, and exhibit artwork inspired by those fables, as part of The Fables Project, a collaboration between writers and artists. Students in Prof Timothy Schaffert’s Advanced Fiction Writing workshop collaborated with students of the Maryland Institute College of Art to create original, illustrated fiction. José Villarrubia, who regularly works as a colorist for Marvel Comics, DC Comics, and Dark Horse Publishing, led his art students in the project. As an illustrator Villarrubia is best known for his collaborations with Alan Moore: PROMETHEA, VOICE OF THE FIRE and THE MIRROR OF LOVE.

Please join the writers as they read from their work and display the illustration, to be followed by a reception.
