A graphic announcing "Alternative Careers in Comics" for the Nib and Ink Fest 2025 on May 18th, 2025 at 4:00 PM EST on Zoom featuring panelists Nero Villagallos O'Reilly, Kel McDonald, Hye Mardikian, and Kevin Wilson. The panel description reads, "There's more to the comics industry than inks and nibs! Every day, millions of people make this industry work without ever picking up a pencil or writing a line of script. Join Hye Mardikian (pre-press/graphic designer), Kevin Wilson (web designer), and Kel McDonald (editor) in a panel talking about all the different ways one can be very involved in the comics world. Moderated by Nero Villagallos O'Reilly!" An anthropomorphic inkwell and an anthropomorphic both holding comic pages decorate the graphic.
