Pete's Mini Zine Fest Features Local Artist

Coming up this Saturday, July 21 from 2-7pm is the fourth annual Pete’s Mini Zine Fest, the longest-running zine fest in NYC, which is co-hosted by Ditmas Park comic artist Marguerite Dabaie. We’re still waiting for the day she’s able to find a spot around here to host it (or something like it!), but until then, you can check it out (for free) at Pete’s Candy Store in Williamsburg.

Marguerite is also hosting a free comics workshop at 5pm. She will be going over how to create comics–from the initial idea to finally getting it down on paper–and how to make your DIY books “ultra faboo,” she says. She’ll also talk about how basically any subject you choose can be made into a comic and do an art demo.
