I had a really fun day last weekend at MoCCA in New York City.
Luckily, the Society of Illustrators acquired the Museum of
Comic and Cartoon Art and continues to run the festival.
With almost 200 booths, it was a full day of laughing and
oohing and ahhing over comics, zines, prints, tee shirts,
stickers, bags, buttons, and business cards.

For days we've been pouring through our excellent
pile of loot and here below are some of my favorite finds.

Ellis's comics featuring "The Shadow's Nose" are absolutely
hilarious. He does illustrations for comics, children's books, and
tee shirts, and now some of his work is in the movie Diving Normal.

Nathan O. Marsh
Nathan's illustrious "Alphabet Apocrypha" is incredible with
an immense investment in interesting items to inspect.

Nikki is an illustrator and graphic designer whose adorable
booklet "The Worst Ghost" caught my eye. The pictures
and words are charming and very frame-worthy.
