So who is this “Lena” character anyway?
Lena H. Chandhok was born in October 1987 in Pennsylvania. She moved to California after middle school and hasn’t grown much since. She studied art and literature amongst the banana slugs at UC Santa Cruz, finally winning her degree in 2009 in a high-stakes game of Pictionary. She currently attends the Center for Cartoon Studies in White River Junction, Vermont and has learned all kinds of new things there, such as the fact that Vermont can get very, very, very cold. Her hobbies include bargaining with the copier, rocking out in her car, and staying up too late. If you’re looking for her portfolio site, you can find it here.
(By the way, it’s pronounced “Lay-nah Chand-oak”. :) )
Hello, I’m interested in attending CCS but I would like some input from alums or current students.
Did it make you a better comic artist (or artist in general)? Have you found a job in a field related to comics? Any other advice or tips would be appreciated as well.
Thanks
Derek
