Speaking of Lale Westvind, as SPX’s 2012 Ignatz Award winner for Promising New Talent, she took on the challenge of creating a unique Ignatz design for use in promoting the 2013 show - and here it is.
Pretty rad!
This piece, along with all the Ignatz nominated works and promotional art for SPX 2013 will be preserved forever as a part of the Small Press Expo Collection at the Library of Congress.
Thank you to Lale - and to Daryl Ayo who helped us kick off this tradition last year. Daryl won the Ignatz for Promising New Talent in 2011.

I believe that happiness is nothing. I don’t think people were put here to be happy. I think if you decide to be an artist or writer, you automatically accept the responsibility of being alone. However, after your fifty or sixty years are up you’ll be able to look back and see this output that you’ve done that will endure long after you’re gone, and will continue to fill the minds of million of people.

GRIDLORDS: Zack Soto, interviewed by Emily Nilsson

You and François Vignault just moved into an office in the IPRC building, how is that working out? What kind of work do you do there?

It’s been really great so far. The first couple months, it was hard getting into the swing of having a studio again, but I use it several times a week…

2013 Special Guests

Small Press Expo is pleased to announce Seth, Gary Panter, Lisa Hanawalt, Gene Yang and Frank Santoro as special guests at SPX 2013, to be held Saturday, September 14 and Sunday, September 15.  We are honored that both Seth and Gary Panter will be making their first SPX appearances at this year’s show.

 
Seth
Creator and advocate of a Canadian design aesthetic, Seth is best known to the comics world as the artist/writer of the long running Palookaville comic, as well as his graphic novels Wimbledon Green and George Sprott (1895-1975), which was originally serialized in the New York Times. He is also known for his book design work for such series as The Complete Peanuts, Nancy and Melvin Monster, in addition to The Portable Dorothy Parker.

 
Gary Panter
Painter, poster artist, cartoonist, commercial artist, and set designer, polymath Gary Panter has covered the gamut. Best known to the comics world for his long running, post-apocalyptic Jimbo series as well as his graphic novel Dal Tokyo, he also won an Emmy Award for his work on Pee-Wee’s Playhouse, and the Chrysler Award for his influence in graphic design.

 
Lisa Hanawalt
Lisa Hanawalt has vaulted from her Ignatz Award winning mini-comics Stay Away From Other People and I Want You, to illustrating for such periodicals as the New York Times Op-Ed page, Vanity Fair, Glamour, Bloomberg Business Week, as well as McSweeney’s and The Believer. Her latest book is My Dirty Dumb Eyes, a compendium of her work being published this May by Drawn & Quarterly.

 
Gene Yang
Gene Yang, creator behind the award winning American Born Chinese, is returning to the graphic novel field with a two volume set, Boxers & Saints, to be released this fall by First Second Books. Set in China in 1900, it tells the story of the Boxer rebellion and how the teemagers of the day used their “super heroes” from Chinese opera as inspirations to fight against foreign invaders.

 
Frank Santoro
Frank Santoro is back with his latest work, Pompei, published by Picturebox. His Storeyville was one of the most influential comics of the 1990’s, leading to its reprinting in book form in 2007. He now runs the Santoro Correspondence Course For Comic Book Makers, which carries on the tradition of correspondence courses for cartoonists that stretches back over century, now in an online form utilizing the latest in collaborative technology.


Access:

The hotel is directly across the street from the White Flint metro station on the Red Line.
