In addition to freelancing and tabling at comic conventions, Hannah also teaches manga workshops for teens at Japan Society, a culture organization in Manhattan. If you enjoy fantasy, superheroes, horror, mystery and a little gay romance, then check her work out!

Jill @m44rt3ngbruh4 has a deep love for providing clarity through card interpretation. After years of reading for herself and loved ones, they're excited to see what the cards have to share with you.

Meet Sonja John… and come see her works in person THIS SATURDAY MAY 30! (TOMORROW!) Sonja is our highlight artist for the evening and her works will be on view from 4-10PM

“Sonja John is a queer, first generation,
Bronx-based artist, educator, and curator.
John’s interdisciplinary practice explores cultural, botanical, and material hybridity through paintings, textiles, printmaking, and site-responsive installations that reference plant forms and vernacular architecture across equatorial zones. These motifs investigate diasporic longing and nostalgic fictions of the Caribbean built from history, memory, and family archives.

She received her Bachelors of Fine Arts from Rhode Island School of Design in 2017. Her contributions to museum education have been featured at the RISD Museum and Hyperallergic. She has been published in n+1 magazine, I Like Your Work Podcast, Seeing Color Podcast with Zhiwan Cheung and Them. John was awarded the ChaNorth Artist Residency Young Artist Fellowship Award in 2022, received the General Fellowship residency award for The Studios at MASS MoCA in 2023, and recently completed the Lower Manhattan Cultural Center’s Arts Center Residency in 2025. Her visual art has been exhibited at the Rio Galleries of Sugar Hill Children’s Museum in Harlem, EFA Project Space, and Wave Hill, with a forthcoming solo exhibition at the Katonah Museum of Art. An avid collector of animal bones, she is probably best friends with the skeletons in your closet.”
