2010 Ignatz Award Nominees were announced, and three of them are wonderful local lady artists here in Chicago!
The Ignatz recognizes exceptional work that challenges popular notions of what comics can achieve, both as an art form and as a means of personal expression. It’s a festival prize that gets awarded at SPX, the Small Press Expo (SPX), in Maryland in mid-September.
The Chicago local ladies nominated for awards are:
Laura Park, nominated for Outstanding Story for her untitled piece in Mome vol 16 (Fantagraphics).
Lilli Carre is nominated for Outstanding Mini-Comic for Don’t Drink From the Sea.
Sarah Becan is nominated for Outstanding Online Comic for I Think You’re Sauceome.
Congratulations, artists!
