CareerJetter began her postsecondary education at the California College of Arts, but after a short time transferred to Black Fisk University in Nashville, Tennessee to participate in a program that had more students and faculty of color. Ultimately, though, racism off campus in Tennessee forced Jetter to return to CCA where she completed her Bachelor of Fine Arts in painting in 1994.[3] Jetter began her comic career in early 2012 as a response to seeing her friend's webcomic. Her artistic creativity was inspired by the comics her four older brothers created when she was a child, as well as Mildred D. Tayler, Walter Dean Myers, and Morrie Turner.[4] Currently, Jetter is independently published because she believes that mainstream media does not accurately represent marginalized communities.[5] ComicsJetter began work on her self-published comic series, Nuthin' Good Ever Happens at 4 a.m., in early 2012. The comic follows the lives of four friends, Chan, Dee Jay, Dray, and Zee, throughout a zombie apocalypse that breaks out in Oakland, California. Determined to present it at the San Francisco Zine Fest, she finished the first issue of the series in under five months.[5] The series is categorized by its horror and gore, and the majority of it is stylized in black and white. Jetter exclusively uses people of color as her characters.[6] Nuthin' Good Ever Happens at 4 a.m. is currently in production of its fifth issue. In 2015, Jetter wrote and illustrated a submission titled "Pull It Up From the Roots" for APB: Artists Against Police Brutality: A Comic Book Anthology. The anthology focuses on police brutality, the justice system, and civil rights. All of the proceeds are donated to the Innocence Project.[7] In September 2017, it was announced that Jetter had been chosen to take part in a ten-issue production of the supernatural horror comic Box of Bones. The comic follows the life of an African American graduate student who is taken on a journey through the most violent times in African history by a mysterious box.[8] Jetter also provided illustrations for Johary Ravelson’s story “Water in the Rice Fields Up to My Knees," which will be featured in Sunspot Jungle: The Ever Expanding Universe of Fantasy and Science Fiction. The anthology of science fiction stories will be released in January 2019.[9] In addition to her published comics, Jetter also creates zines about her life as an African American woman. She shifts her focus from fantasy to non-fiction storytelling as she depicts a large range of topics including racism and hair braiding techniques. She continues to be an active member in the West Coast zine community.[10] PortraitsMost recently, Jetter has been creating and selling hand-drawn portraits.[10] Some of her portrait subjects include Barack Obama, Martin Luther King Jr., and characters from The Walking Dead. ActivismJetter's artistry frequently incorporates themes of social injustice, micro-aggressions, and Black History. She has repeatedly promoted the importance of being an ally in social movements. She uses zines as a medium to express her personal struggles with racial tension.[11] Jetter further supports marginalized populations by curating art shows that center around artists from underrepresented communities. The University of California, Davis has hosted her multiple times as a guest to discuss the importance of inclusivity and intentionality.[12] Personal lifeJetter currently lives in Oakland, CA.[13] References1. ^{{Cite web|url=http://nuthingoodat4.com/|title=Zombie Attack in Oakland, CA - Nuthin Good Ever Happens at 4 a.m.|last=Jetter|first=Avy|date=|website=Nuthin Good Ever Happens at 4 a.m.|language=en-US|archive-url=|archive-date=|dead-url=|access-date=November 28, 2018}} {{DEFAULTSORT:Jetter, Avy}}2. ^{{Cite web|url=http://ssall.berkeley.edu/departments/contact-us|title=Summer Sessions, Study Abroad & Lifelong Learning|last=|first=|date=|website=ssall.berkeley.edu|language=en|archive-url=|archive-date=|dead-url=|access-date=December 1, 2018}} 3. ^{{Cite book|title=Encyclopedia of black comics|author=Howard, Sheena C.|isbn=9781682751015|oclc=992166823}} 4. ^{{Cite web|url=https://midwestbsfa.com/2016/05/27/interview-with-artist-avy-jetter/|title=Interview with Artist Avy Jetter|last=|first=|date=May 27, 2016|website=MidWest Black Speculative Fiction Alliance|archive-url=|archive-date=|dead-url=|access-date=December 2, 2018}} 5. ^1 {{Cite web|url=https://lbzinefest.com/the-art-of-avy-jetter/|title=The Art of Avy Jetter|last=Jetter|first=Avy|date=|website=Long Beach Zine Fest|archive-url=|archive-date=|dead-url=|access-date=November 30, 2018}} 6. ^{{Cite book|title=Encyclopedia of Black Comics|last=Howard|first=Sheena|publisher=Fulcrum Publishing|others=|year=2017|isbn=1682751015|location=Golden, CO|pages=|oclc=974683696}} 7. ^{{Cite book|title=APB: Artists against Police Brutality: A Comic Book Anthology|last=Jetter|first=Avy|publisher=Rosarium Publishing|year=2015|isbn=1495607526|editor-last=Campbell|editor-first=Bill|location=Greenbelt, MD|pages=}} 8. ^{{Cite book|title=Box of Bones|last=Jennings|first=John|last2=Everett|first2=Ayize Jama|publisher=Rosarium Publishing|year=2018|isbn=|location=Greenbelt, MD|pages=}} 9. ^{{Cite book|title=Sunspot Jungle: The Ever Expanding Universe of Fantasy and Science Fiction|last=Campbell|first=Bill|publisher=Rosarium Publishing|year=2018|isbn=0998705977|location=Greenbelt, MD|pages=}} 10. ^1 {{Cite web|url=https://www.behance.net/avyjetter|title=Avy Jetter|last=|first=|date=|website=Behance|archive-url=|archive-date=|dead-url=|access-date=December 1, 2018}} 11. ^{{Cite web|url=http://zcenecast.com/zines-and-politics-live-at-the-long-beach-zine-fest-bonus-episode-4/|title=Zines and Politics (Live at the Long Beach Zine Fest) : Bonus Episode 4!|last=LeVeque|first=Sumner|date=October 2, 2018|website=ZCENE|archive-url=|archive-date=|dead-url=|access-date=November 24, 2018}} 12. ^{{Cite web|url=https://culturalstudies.ucdavis.edu/events/decolonizing-comics-avy-jetter|title="Decolonizing Comics"|last=|first=|date=January 30, 2018|website=UC Davis|archive-url=|archive-date=|dead-url=|access-date=November 13, 2018}} 13. ^{{Cite news|url=https://afrocomiccon.org/avy-jetter/|title=Avy Jetter - AfroComicCon|last=|first=|date=|work=AfroComicCon|access-date=November 27, 2018|language=en-US}} 5 : Living people|1968 births|Place of birth missing (living people)|University of California, Berkeley staff|American female comics artists |
