Drawing of a young man reading in a messy room with the title, "A Portrait of the Artist AS A Young Man." A woman holds up her skirt to avoid incoming tide as she looks out to the ocean. Four frames of a graphic novel: the empty beach, the sand, a man from the back looking at the beach, the man looking over his shoulder. Six frames of a graphic novel: torso of a woman holding up her skirt to avoid the tide, the woman's legs beneath her skirt, her legs and feet in the water, her feet in the water, her face looking over her shoulder, a man in the distance looking toward her.

In 2018, Jules Talbot received both a Gold Key and Gold Medal for Comic Art in Scholastic Art and Writing Awards, one of nine medals given out that year nationally. One of their comics was featured in the Art.Write.Now.2018 National Exhibition, touring to museums across five states, and displayed in the SMFA Student Art Exhibition at Tufts University.

Land Acknowledgement The Gallatin Galleries is located on the traditional territory of the Lenni-Lenape, called “Lenapehoking.” The Lenape People lived in this territory in harmony for thousands of years. During the colonial era and early federal period, many were removed, but some also remain among the historical tribal communities of the region. We acknowledge the Lenni-Lenape as the original people of this land and their continuing relationship with their territory and we affirm the aspiration of the Lenape Chief Tamanend, that there be harmony between the Indigenous people of this land and the descendants of the immigrants to this land.
