Sishir Bommakanti + John Bivens / SPX

This September, illustration MFA candidate Sishir Bommakanti '18 and comic arts alum John Bivens '16 attended the Small Press Expo in Bethesda Maryland. Both artists participated in the symposium by supplying work for sale to the public.

The Small Press Expo, or SPX, is an annual comics and graphic arts festival which "presents the best and brightest established creators in independent comics. In addition to the opportunity for public exposure and potential revenue the festival provides to attending artists, the event also allows less established to network with publishers and prominent creators, providing unique opportunities for the comic artist/writer that is just starting out."

The non-profit festival is exclusively for creators and publishers, and includes discussion forums, speakers, and a public exhibition with comics, graphic novels, and other printed works.
