\nArtist Bio
\nRaeghan Buchanan is an artist from Erie\, PA who reside s in Columbus\, Ohio and paints murals\, draws portraits\, makes comics\, plays drums\, and chooses death by typeface. Buchanan uses traditional dra wing tools - pen\, brushes\, sumi ink\, and vellum paper - to illustrate s tylistically proto-cubist images of important figures in Black history\; c reating starkly lit\, highly modeled portraiture with embellishments of an xiously detailed and decoratively weaved textures. Buchanan makes comics h ighlighting rock &lsquo\;n&rsquo\; roll musical roots in Black culture and focuses \; specifically on the punk rock aspects of that canon. She g ets artistic influence from early punk aesthetic and the political/art mov ements it drew from\, and uses the DIY vehicles associated with punk\, suc h as sloganeering\, merchandise\, and zines to proliferate information. Sh e created and co-runs @POCtoberArt online\, an instagallery that goes live during October and calls for artist participation in drawing Black and PO C punk bands\, as well as funk and rock musicians\, in order to document\, practice drawing skills\, and create a visual dialog between artists and bands.
\nThe Art Builds Community Program Series is made possibl e through the generosity and funding of the Rath Creative Arts Fund of the Bexley Community Foundation.
