Hey, I'm going to be at @sfzinefest this sunday with at least 2 new comics!! Come find me in the first room and let's trade! 😃

[sfzinefest]

SF Zine Fest is thrilled to announce that our Guest of Honor for the 2018 fest is Bay Area-based Indian-American cartoonist and writer Nidhi Chanani, a 2012 Champion of Change honoree by the Obama administration. Nidhi's exceptional debut graphic novel Pashmina, a tale about the hardship and self-discovery that is born from juggling two cultures and two worlds, has received glowing reviews from numerous publications. Her second graphic novel, Jukebox, about two Muslim-American cousins, Shaheen and Tannaz in San Francisco, is slated to release in 2020. We're looking forward to Nidhi sharing her work with us during our annual Thinking Captions Zine Reading at San Francisco Public Library on August 28 and at SFZF2018 on September 2. You can learn more about Nidhi on Everyday Love Art - The art of Nidhi Chanani and her website: https://everydayloveart.com/

Convention Schedule

My last two conventions for 2017 are right around the corner! I’ll be tabling at

San Francisco Zinefest 9/3 in Golden Gate Park

Rose City Comic Con 9/8-9/10 in Portland, OR

Zinefest

I’ll have all sorts of art zines from 2016-2017 (cat zine! owl zine! moleskine drawings zine! brand spanking new tiny zine of tiny kaiju pictures!) and a literal rainbow of matted-and-ready-to-frame teamaid watercolor paintings. As you can glimpse from the picture above I’ve been painting a LOT in the last year and I’m excited to find good homes for some of these ladies :3

Rose City

I’ll have a few additional things like Erstwhile 1-3, prints, postcards, and fingers crossed, the debut of TEAMAIDS 2 and a Missing Monday sketch collection! More details coming soon as my table assignment is announced but I’m pretty excited to show off all my new stuff!

After these two shows I can catch my breath before it’s time to get ready for 2018 con season. Artist life, man ;)

Poster for the San Francisco Zine Fest 2017, by Trinidad Escobar:

I modeled the sirena's face after my nieces -- girls who live along the ocean in Bataan, Philippines. The creatures in the poster are all marine life that can be found in the Philippine coral reef and the Mariana Trench, the deepest part of the world's oceans.

A sirena, in many folktales from the Philippines, is an engkanto, (a spirit or liminal being), who inhabits the ocean. In some cases, she is a spirit who was once human, died, and whose spirit returned to look after her beloved sea. In other stories, she was once a fisherman or healer who reincarnated as an actual merperson. In either case, she is typically a wrathful and cunning creature who has vowed to protect all life in the ocean and will harm humans if needed. In pre-colonial times, the stories described her as beautiful. In post-colonial times, she was described as hideous, thus changing the way Pilipinos connected with her. The sirena has psychological and cultural importance including concepts of feminine power, environmentalism, animism, and indigeneity. Once a part of Philippine belief systems, the sirena was reduced to a fairytale.

Mars Ravelo (1916-1988) was a Pilipino comic creator of one of the most popular mermaid characters in the Philippines, "Dyesebel" (Jezebel). Ravelo first showcased her in Pilipino Komiks in the 1950s and then several films were born from her story, thereby popularizing what colonists tried to scare out of Pilipino psychology. Comics have been critical to Pilipino storytelling for a long time (Jose Rizal, our national hero, once made a comic about oppression before the Philippine Revolution in 1896) and, to come full circle, I wanted to make a shoutout Mars Ravelo on this poster."
