ABOUT THE ARTISTS

Erica Williams
HookieDuke (Erica Williams) is a creator known for blending intricate traditional mark-making, surrealism, lore, and occultism. Their work explores phenomenology and divinity woven into folklore, sacred symbols, the arcane, natural world, and spiritual realms. In addition to illustration and printmaking, they explore an interdisciplinary practice focused on fiber and art objects.

Natalie Andrewson
Natalie Andrewson is an illustrator, comic artist and Risograph printmaker from North Carolina, currently living in Los Angeles, California. She's worked on lots of different types of projects for clients like The New York Times, Muji, NPR, First Second, Oculus, Penguin Random House, NYU, Bento Box, and Disney. In her spare time she enjoys making fantasy-inspired Risograph prints and comics, available in her shop and through her patreon.

Natalia AKA Parakid
Natalia aspires to capture the feeling of a moment frozen in time through her art. In her watercolor and ink illustrations, she primarily focuses on slice-of-life moments that bring a sense of nostalgia and peace, hoping to highlight scenes everyone is familiar with and that many have created bonds over.

Paulette Jo

Paulette Jo is a figurative artist-specializing in creating works from her visions and emotions. With a fascination for fragility, she likes to explore the power of dreams and the void of possibilities. Her ink pieces are a thoughtful document of her delicate vision of the human experience, as her intricate, meditative designs capture the essence of a moment of inner stillness. Paulette actively confronts and challenges her own experiences. Her editorial designs play a central role in this expression, providing people with a platform to peek into their innermost emotions.
