One of the activists in the development of comics in Armenia, Levon Gyulkhasyan was involved in the work of the Association pour la Promotion de la Bande Dessinée en Arménie (APBDA) in France and participated in various exhibitions, workshops, and anthologies.
As part of a team, he took part in the 24-hour Comics challenge in Angoulême, France, which he later introduced in Armenia.
Together with friends, Levon launched weekly comics-making workshops in Armenia, using constraint comics as a way to foster comic creation. After moving to the United States, he has continued this activity in Boston.
He was also an initiator of Jumbo Loop Comics — eight of these 90-foot-long comic strips were installed outdoors in public spaces in Armenia and France. During the annual Massachusetts Independent Comics Expo (MICE), he creates indoor versions of Jumbo Loop Comics, enabling exhibition participants to collaboratively draw a giant strip.
He has contributed to two Boston Comics Roundtable (BCR) anthologies and has published three graphic novels. Currently, he is involved in teaching incarcerated individuals how to write and draw their life stories.
Levon Gyulkhasyan is a certified Boston artist and a member of both the Boston Comics Roundtable and Actual Art, Armenia. He lives in Lexington, Massachusetts, with his family.
