ABOUT NOAH JODICE
I am an illustrator and designer based in St. Louis, Missouri. My work ranges from self-published zines and printed matter to commissioned public art and community-engaged projects. My self-published work focuses on our social relationship to image-making and often explores personal anxieties or complex systems through narrative cartoons. I frequently collaborate on community justice-oriented zines, comics, posters, and web resources with both national and local advocacy groups. My work has been recognized in the 42nd Annual of American Illustrators, the 10th annual International Motion Art Awards, and the 64th Annual of the Society of Illustrators.
As an illustrator and designer, I have specialized in distilling conceptually complex stories into legible and clever imagery. Often, my work focuses on how to translate political arguments into useful tools for building community power.
Locally, that work has taken place through collaborations with ArchCity Defenders, the St. Louis Independent Comics Expo, free workshops at local institutions, and various independent artist collaborations. With ArchCity Defenders, for example, I designed and illustrated a zine for their “ProSe” series, which provided information on how St. Louisans can better navigate eviction court. Alongside practical advice, I illustrated scenes which celebrated the city’s community and visual heritage.
