DICE! Ditmas Indie Comics Extravaganza!
Illustration and custom type for DICE!, a local comics fest hosted at Taylor & Co. Books in Brooklyn, co-organized by Diana Schoenbrun, Andrew Colarusso (owner of Taylor & Co. Books), and me.
Originally conceived of as an approachable comics event for young artists to vend their work for the first time, DICE! became a chance for local artists to vend their products in the lively neighborhood of Ditmas Park. To keep costs accessible, the tabling fee was $25 for a half table.

What the heck is a “Stamp Rally”?
I also hosted a stamp rally, which involves participants visiting every vendor and then collecting a prize! Prizes included a holographic sticker sheet and a button, both of which I designed.
Many thanks to:
