CZF 2025 poster art5/13/2025 We are excited to announce our official poster artwork for CZF 2025 created by Kelly Wang! Kelly perfectly captures the colorful clutter and chaos of a zinester’s workspace. Keep your eyes peeled for Zinehead—our official mascot for this year’s fest.
Kelly Wang is an award-winning alternative cartoonist, printmaker, and musician based in Chicago. Their hand-drawn works combine Asian and American influences, their stories exploring personal narratives and growth often with absurd or magical realism twists. They currently self-publish their work through their own small risograph press REESO PRESS and play music. Explore more of Kelly's delightful art at their website, cchianart.com. |
