Moderator J.A. Micheline will engage in conversation with Ignatz-award winning cartoonist Bianca Xunise (Six Chix, Say Her Name) about punk rock, goth, and her comics career.
Comics of note mentioned in the discussion:
Bauhaus comic: riotfest.org/2018/06/that-one-time-bauhaus-bought-a-tour-hearse
Sister Rosetta Comic: riotfest.org/2018/04/is-strange-things-happening-everyday-by-sister-rosetta-tharpe-the-first-punk-song
Ganser comic: riotfest.org/2019/12/ganser-bees-comic
ABOUT THE PANELIST:
As a kid, Bianca Xunise would spend her nights curled up reading books drawn by Bernard Waber and Ludwig Bemelmans. There was something so fascinating about the art that expressed the magic of city-dwelling to a kid like Bianca from Chicago.
From there, her influences ranged from days watching Sailor Moon to evenings studying Paul Rand as she got her BFA in Graphic Design from the University of Illinois at Chicago. After she graduated she continued her passions as an illustrator and designer working with clients such as Ragu and People Magazine.
Today Bianca continues to focus her illustration and collaborate with companies and people she adores. She currently has works published for The Washington Post, Riot Fest, Vogue, Hello Giggles and The Nib and a personal column at Shondaland. Bianca also has a weekly syndicated with Six Chix.
