The Dandelion Comics Residency is a juried program for cartoonists based on the Greater Milwaukee area. Our goal is to support the local comics community while promoting work produced here to well-respected professionals active in the industry today.
We are thrilled to announce that our 2023/24 Dandelion artist-in-residence is Drew Sternitzky. We will work with Drew over the winter to produce an original comic - watch this space for more news!
ARTIST BIO
After graduating with a degree in fine arts from Carroll University, and beginning the process of showing my work locally and beyond, I took a hard turn down the path untaken. Within the past few years, I have finished homeschooling the last of my two children. Making art always remained a part of my daily life, and drawings and paintings often occupied precious spared moments. However, for the past sixteen years, I too have gone back to school. Back to basics. Back to familiar things now seen with older eyes— following my students down roads of interest and finding a few new ones of my own along the way. I suppose the varied subjects and interests depicted in my work were born from these amazing years.

Book launch - Rewind: A Cathartic Autobiography
Come celebrate the release of the book Rewind: a Cathartic Autobiography, by local author and activist Shelly Conley. You can confirm to the event here.
ABOUT THE BOOK
Rewind: a Cathartic Autobiography, poetically and introspectively, unravels the past while embracing the boundless future of poet, author & community educator, A. Shelly Conley and uplifts any Woman whose voice has been lost (and found).
ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Shelly Conley experienced most of her youth in Milwaukee’s 53206 zip code, an area notoriously known for having the highest incarceration rate of black men in the country. If she lived by society's labels, she may have seen a different life. Instead, she decided to lose the restraints often associated with those labels and embraced the lessons learned along her journey: the fight, the Love, the loss, and the resilience. Born with a unique balance of creativity and structure, Shelly uses her creative gift of poetry and writing to encourage, empower, and celebrate the culture.
