Artists

• Brian McHenry. His pencil drawings are layered, intricate, and otherwordly. Beautiful work.

• I love Chelsea Granger's art. Her oracle deck Dirt Gems is magical, and you should check it out. She also writes about death and grief, which I found helpful after losing my partner. She spent one year mailing a monthly paper journal/newsletter to a few subscribers after losing her mom and close friend.

• Ellen Viola Her zines/art are charming and colorful. I'm a huge fan.

• Indiana Hoover I love his simple pencil sketches and how he renders portraits.

• Jason Polan is one of my favorite artists. I love his raw and quick drawings made with a pen and notebook. His project of trying to Draw Every Person In NY was cut short as he passed away a few years ago. His work still continues to inspire me.

• Kate Bingaman-Burt Artist, zine maker, and teacher.

• Shawn Eisenach His art zines are amazing.
