On September 18th, we're celebrating our opening with a big ol' all-ages party featuring live music from Arlo Maverick and entertainment by Jugglin' Jordan! Bonus: we are having a 15% off store-wide sale (some exceptions)!
Plus, we'll have artists Serena Tang, Tayson Martindale, Pierre Mallias, and Joanne Wojtysiak drawing up a storm and raising money for the Edmonton Food Bank!
Serena Tang is an illustrator who was born in Hong Kong and now lives in Edmonton. She has a Bachelor of Arts from U of A and has taken classes at Edmonton Digital Arts School. She focuses on visual arts through illustration and painting. You may have seen her colorful, sparkly art already on the 2021 Fringe Festival website banner and other promo materials!

Tayson Martindale is a comic book creator based in Edmonton, AB.
"...you don’t have to be the greatest artist of all time to start making great comics, you can literally tell a compelling, engaging story just with stick people and a bit of knowledge on how comics work. I’ve taken some classes to learn more about specifics (colouring techniques, storytelling, etc) but the bones of how I learned to create was from reading comics and then making my own."
His works include: Work: Box Boy (graphic novel), Parker Purr: Cat Adventurer, Bedtime Tails, The Legendary: Winter, Active Animals The Game, Thunder Frog (artist), Kids (comic strip)
See his social media profiles below:
Pierre Mallais was a combat engineer in the Canadian Army for 28 years. He's been on 6 overseas deployments, including two in Afghanistan. Mallais has created illustrations for army training and planning documents. He's now retired from the army and a comic creator!
