What better way to celebrate a season of harvest than with an artist who draws food? Chicago-based superstar Sarah Becan has been on the scene for years, and we’ve always been fans of her delectable and informative work. We're thrilled to have Sarah as a special guest at Zine Club Chicago to talk about her career in culinary comics, which spans mini-comics, webcomics, restaurant work, and publishing. Sarah also will tell us about the weird things artists have to think about when illustrating food and making recipe comics, because she’s got plenty of experience. Plus, she’ll be hosting a free workshop! Bon appetit!
Please join us at Zine Club Chicago: Let’s Make Food Zines! with Special Guest Sarah Becan at 3 p.m. Saturday, November 23, 2024 at Quimby’s Bookstore, 1054 W. North Ave. in Wicker Park. Free!
We’ll provide zinemaking supplies and snacks. Recommended: Bring a short recipe of your choosing to make into a zine during the workshop.
Zine Club Chicago is a mask-supportive environment; we’ll have masks available if you’d like to wear one. Please note that seating is limited and available on a first-come, first-served basis.
Sarah Becan has been drawing comics since she was very small. Her food-based autobiographical webcomic “I Think You’re Sauceome” sparked a love of food and culinary illustration, and her work has since appeared in various publications, including Saveur Magazine, Eater.com, StarChefs, and the Chicago Reader. She is the coauthor and illustrator of Let’s Make Ramen!, published July 2019, and Let’s Make Dumplings!, published June 2021, and the most recent Let’s Make Bread!, coauthored with baker Ken Forkish, published May 2024. She lives in Chicago with her partner Niles and their cat Toki, and she would be very happy to do nothing but draw food all day. Find her on Instagram @sarahbecan
