 Journal Of Military  Experience

http://militaryexperience.org/

Heroes Fallen Studios Inc. President has been working on story sketches for the Journal Of Military Experience II ( JME II ) at the request of Editor and former Soldier, Travis Martin.

The book which will be released at the Arts Symposium in July. Showcases approximately 15 sketches done for the stories that Mr. Murwin illustrated. "Some of the stories were very heart wrenching just to read them, but also having to put a visual sketch to the words was sometimes very emotional" said Mr. Murwin.

But not all of the stories are heart wrenching, some are just down right funny. Heroes Fallen Studios President will be attending the Art Symposium on July 5-7. He will be giving a speech and also doing a workshop on the basics of comic illustration. Heroes Fallen Studios Inc. will also be set-up to sale copies of Untold Stories from Iraq & Afghanistan Volume I . They will also have HFSI T-shirts & prints as well.

Below is the information on the Arts Symposium 

ATTENTION VETERANS: -Free, Three-Day Creative Arts Symposium July 5-7

Every veteran has a story to tell. That’s just the nature of the job. With each generation, young men and women encounter the extremes of the human condition in locations near and far, returning home in disbelief, struggling to explain—to themselves as well as others—what it was that happened to them. If you are a military veteran who can relate, we would like to provide you with three days of workshops, camaraderie, and events designed specifically to help you tell your story.

100 veterans will receive the following:

-

-Free lodging for three days

-Free meals for three days

-Free supplies and textbooks to help with the creative processes

-Free workshops

-

The Military Experience and the Arts Symposium will host numerous events entirely free to veterans and open to the general public:

-

-The release of The Journal of Military Experience’s second volume

-Conflict from Iraq, Afghanistan, Vietnam and local KY artists

-A public reading of works created at the symposium

-A live concert

-Public lectures by experts in fields that offer creative, therapeutic outlets to our troops

-

We will also have Veteran Service Organizations and volunteers of all sorts on hand to help make your stay more comfortable. In addition to a chance to share their works on the last day of the symposium, authors and artists will have the opportunity to publish with the JME’s third volume and follow up editorial consultation will be provided free of charge. We want you to help us help you understand what you’ve been through. Email travis.martin@uky .edu if you are a veteran and have specific questions about the offerings.
