DOORS 5:00 / PRESENTATION 6:00 / COMIC STUDIO 7:00
An evening of comics readings followed by a studio to learn about comics making led by John Porcellino. An accessible mixture of performance and diy fine art, a comics reading is a not to miss experience and opportunity to meet Wisconsin cartoonists.
Readers will be Audrey Campbell, Key Daly, National Velvet, Aaron Renier, Maxwell J Singletary and Emily Ugoretz.
John Porcellino will be our featured reader and lead a comics making studio afterwards. John Porcellino has been self-publishing his zine King Cat-Comics since 1989, which he still draws and self-publishes today. He has written several graphic novels including Perfect Example (2000) and Hospital Suite (2014). He also runs the comics distro Spit and a Half, a unique hub of contemporary comic art. A stalwart of zine fests all over the country, Porcellino is one of our most prolific and most important living cartoonists.
