It is with great sadness that we inform the SCAD community of the passing of Savannah College of Art and Design sequential art professor and alumnus Jeremy Mullins (M.F.A., sequential art, 2005).

At SCAD, Mullins taught the sequential art classes Online Comics, Self-promotion, Introduction to Sequential Art and many more. He also initiated and ran the sequential art department’s successful twice-weekly podcast at www.seqalab.com, as well as the department blog.
“Jeremy loved working in the sequential art department and loved teaching at SCAD,” said David Duncan, chair of the sequential art department. “He was a dedicated hard worker, respectful to everyone, and always supportive of students. The whole department owes a great deal to Jeremy for his service and his friendship.”
