Canzine Portraits: Jessica Bromley Bartram & Otter Days

otterdays2-j-bartram

 

Otter Days is a wordless, fantastical risograph comic that chronicles a day in the life of a Sea Otter Witch as she travels the ocean and cares for her sea otter pals. Inspired by a character created during last year’s Inktober (a daily ink-drawing challenge that happens every October), this comic is volume one in what will hopefully become an ongoing series chronicling the life stories of the Nature Witches.

Jessica Bromley Bartram is a graphic designer, illustrator, bookmaker/writer, and embroidery enthusiast. She has now written and illustrated over seven books of various lengths and wordcounts, all of which will be available at her table on Saturday! Her most recent artistic obsession is risograph printing, and she will be debuting two new riso comics this year.
