Inconvenience Store by Jack Duffy

Jack Duffy: these were created for the U.S.M. Free Press comics page around 2000. He started writing and illustrating comics in 1998 for them, sometimes with the help of ideas from friends, particularly Thaddeus Mullen. They were willing to pay money for comics so he made it a goal to be able to create them and has been doing so ever since. He maintains a small collection of comics at jackduffy.com.

Mike Cockrill

The Ice Cream Man by Mike Cockrill

Mike Cockrill: has been making conceptually engaged, socially challenging work since his first exhibitions in Brooklyn and the East Village in the early 1980s. He grew up in the suburbs of Washington, DC in the Cold War era. He has a particular affinity for the popculture images of postwar America and their darker subtexts. Classically trained at PAFA, he employs a deep understanding of visual idioms that he deftly twists. His art is ever evolving: often playing the unnerving against the sublime. He lives and works in Brooklyn.
