WHAT: Comics reading by Los Angeles and Portland artists
WHEN: Friday, March 13th, 7-9 pm

Quinn Amacher is a cartoonist and author of stories about motion and emotion. Made with hybrid digital/traditional media and in a variety of genres, her comix reframe the mundane and the banal into the fantastic and the absurd, disrupting our assumed inevitabilities and reconnecting the reader to the space of potential.
Alayna Cabral is a sequential artist, animator, and illustrator based in Los Angeles, CA. They have over 10 years of experience working in the animation industry as a storyboard artist, working on shows for Disney TVA, Warner Bros. and more. Along with working for studios, they self publish their own comic work and zines, and they have also created independent animated shorts that have screened world wide.
Luz Diaz, aka Bendita Garlopa, is an Argentine artist living and working in Los Angeles. Her artwork and comics are inspired entirely by the things that confuse her the most.
Maddy Peters is a cartoonist who loves drawing unreasonable people and nightmarish situations. Her comics can be found in shops like Golden Apple and The Pop Hop, and at local comics fairs and zine fests. She is represented by 839 Gallery. In 2025, she self-published her first graphic novel, "The Baby Man," and she is currently writing and drawing a medical drama series called "Lion's Gate." She ultimately makes comics because she finds life very funny.
Sebastian Stone is a dragon and multidisciplinary artist living in Los Angeles. His vibrant, dense imagery carries across tattooing, painting and comics. The compulsion to self-publish as a zinester and self-actuate as a furry become one hybrid beast.
