ARTIST BIO

Elizabeth Jancewicz grew up in northern Quebec, loving comics and dreaming to someday be a comic artist herself. In 2010, she started the band Pocket Vinyl with her best friend Eric Stevenson. They've played nearly 1000 shows together. In 2017, Elizabeth started posting “The Touring Test” comics online, chronicling their lives as touring musicians and working artists. They currently live in Preston, CT with their two cats, Locutus and Whiskey.

ARTIST STATEMENT

I've always loved comic strips from newspapers. I grew up loving them, reading any collection my family could get their hands on. I started drawing from a very early age, and as far back as I can remember, I wanted to make my own comics. For most of my life, I didn't feel like I was “ready” to start yet, whatever that means. In 2017, I finally decided to jump in and make a semi-autobiographical comic about our lives as touring musicians in the band Pocket Vinyl. Once I started, I immediately wondered what took me so long. It's been nearly 5 years now, and my comic has become not just about us touring, but also about our cats, our struggles, our joys, our home....anything really. I'm very proud of all these comics, and hopefully we can connect to each other through them.

Elizabeth is currently drawing some of the last 20 pages (out of 300) of our upcoming graphic novel. She's been putting in 50 to 60 hour weeks since last September and she's so close to finishing. If we were all in a room together, I'd encourage you to cheer.

TOMORROW: The closing party for the Touring Test art gallery! At the 1up gallery at 8 PM!

Coming up on July 23rd - THE TOURING TEST Feat. Elizabeth Jancewicz Opening Reception!

Summertime!
And an announcement for my first-ever comic art gallery showing! I'll have dozens of original comics for viewing (and for sale) up at 1up gallery in New London, Connecticut.
Opening reception (with live music from me and my band Pocket Vinyl ) will take place Saturday, July 23rd starting at 8 p.m.
Fun fact about New London: It's only 1 hour from Providence, 2 hours from Boston, less than 3 hours from NYC, and accessible by train from all 3 cities! So take a summer trip and come see the Whaling City! (They don't do that anymore.)
