As we officially sign off from our 2023 AUTUMN INVITATIONAL and fully transition to UNDER $100, opening NEXT Thursday, November 30, we have to stop to recognize CYN WHY. You may ask: hey, WHY didn’t we feature this work in the countdown to the end of the Invitational? Simply put, it’s because we were aiming for 11th-hour sales (and we had a couple of those), but Cyn had sold out her seven phenomenal works. That’s no mean feat. The artist is happy to elaborate: “I love comics because each panel is a moment in time. You can orchestrate how that time flows. Or whether it flows. Comics are immediate and familiar and utterly versatile. I find comfort in airing my thoughts via boxes.” That philosophy found an immediate, receptive audience and while we are more than grateful for the contributions of all five artists — ELENA MASROUR, MICAELA PIRZIO-BIROLI, FRED PLUMLEY and HOLLY WYNN — it made Cyn an undisputed star of the show. Thank you and congratulations to all...including our lucky buyers!
