I’ll be back with some new hot pot & lion dance stickers!
I’ll also have some special kid artist guests at my table. :)
The Boston Kids Comics Fest is a daylong festival that invites children, parents/guardians, educators and librarians to discover and explore “kid friendly-comics”, graphic novels and hybrid books.
My art students in Chinatown are going to have an art show at Pao Arts Center!
This exhibition features works created by K-5 students at the Josiah Quincy Elementary School (JQES) who find inspiration from the world around them. Drawing from the works of artists like ceramicist Stephanie Shih, collage artist Romare Bearden, and drip-artist Jen Stark, and author Anna Llenas, these young artists celebrate creativity, inspiration, and community in our galleries.
This event is free and open to the public. RSVP preferred.
Hooray! I’ll be at MICE on Saturday and Sunday, tabling with:

Over the centuries, artists have created images and illustrations in response to the world around them, to tell stories or to amplify messages of protest and solidarity, especially during times of widespread crisis and upheaval. This has been especially true for AAPI artists today, as our community continues to navigate multi-pandemics, including COVID-19 and its reverberations, and the rise of anti-Asian discrimination and violence. Like other illustrators over the years, local Boston AAPI artists have responded to these tragedies with images and words of resistance and of comfort.
Call and Response: Illustration in Uncertain Times features illustrations and graphic designs by seven local AAPI artists who have used their craft to speak to this complicated moment. As with other kinds of labor, these artistic gestures offer critical support to the community by giving voice to different experiences and encouraging care.
