We [heart] The Puffin Foundation

Whoopee! The Puffin Foundation recently awarded Executive Editor Christine Stoddard a grant to pursue an original QB photo comic on the history and folklore of the Mixteco Indians in Richmond. The comic is scheduled for release this fall, and will be available both online and in print. Right now Christine is gathering research for the comic with the help of Zack Budryk, a senior Journalism student at Virginia Commonwealth University. Zack and Christine will present their preliminary findings at VCU's Poster Symposium for Undergraduate Research & Creativity. Here's another victory for QB! Thank you, Puffin!

The QB Crew

Christine Stoddard, Founding Editor

Art, media, and language have enchanted Christine Stoddard since the days of her early upbringing in Arlington, VA. While still a mere fairy flutter from D.C., Christine dove into creative activities, hoping that her artistic talents would distract her teachers from learning of her mathematical inability. Luckily, her plan worked. Her non-math skills have been recognized by regional and national organizations. In October 2011, Style Weekly Magazine named her one of the "Top 40 Under 40" in Richmond, VA, while she was still a VCUarts student. Christine currently lives and works in her native Virginia. Email her at: [email protected].

Gretchen Gales,

Executive Editor
Though Gretchen first dedicated her life to being a veterinarian and a best-selling writer on the side, her lack of technical abilities helped guide her towards a literary and art career. Gretchen has published work in Ms., Bustle, The Establishment, and over 30 other publications. She also has been interviewed in Dear English Major and Her Campus.
