Thought Bubble

Thought Bubble was AMAZING!! I bought a lot of stuff including:

Maria Stoian

(luv: the repetitive mark making, the emphasis on colour to make the line and mark making very bold when a lot of the marks are quite soft and small, the colour makes them POP! so fun, love her characterisation and the craftsmanship of all her zines, they have a really nice weight and comic style composition.) 

?????

(this artist sold zines of pin up tattooed girls and bondage girls and so many girls!! she had such a cute, simple line focus style where the weight/curve of the line gave everything a super fun and girly, cheeky vibe. also the fact she drew a lot of different girls who all felt like they could be friends/in the same family was nice because you could see the artist really loved this aesthetic)

Kristyna Baczynski

(I LOVED this artist before thougt bubble so was super excited to see she had a table!!! I died over this large print, all the tiny details and little dashes and dots just described all these plants so well!! like every plant looks so organic and full and alive and cute and curly and wurly and ugh I just love it! also the simple colour choice is really fun I think)

Adam Cadwell

(yo this guy had such cheap comics I almost died! they're spooky and fun and the simple illustration style isn't my favourite but it fit the spooky/ghosty vibe and I just thought they were so cheap I might as well try one. I really like the idea of comics but I don't care about super heroes so I think I need to try more random graphic novels n stuff)

Sarah Graley

(this girl is cool too! all her funny cats and comics about her and her boyfriend are hilarious and poopy and weird. I love the cute blobby cute ugly style is super fun and sweet and I love it. bought a lil badge coz it was holographic)

I also found a few new artists I'm obsessed with and wanted to buy everything but saved their work for Christmas lists. My favourites were Benjamin Wright and Isaac Lenkiewicz. Their work looks like this:

(THESE DUDES ARE MY NEW FAVES!!!! first off simpsons art is my fave I luv it. Benjamin's work struck me because the colour in every zine was so striking and sleek and NICE. made me go ooooOOOOO. both of their work is low fi and blobby and weird, and all the character faces look distressed or sweaty or ALARMED which is just funny. as a duo they fit really well together, they have a cheeky weird nerd vibe I like. they seem like cool guys, I'm currently emailing Ben harassing him to open a shop because I wanna buy a print from him that I couldn't get at thought bubble lmao. I better get that frickin print of a wolf in a sailor moon costume.)

TLDR: THOUGHT BUBBLE WAS THE BOMB.
