NIB & INK FESTIVAL 2025

Thank you for joining us for our inaugural Nib and Ink Fest! We had an incredible month of free events, ranging from panels on how to improve your comics craft to portfolio reviews. You can watch replays of every NIF event at the Cartoonist Cooperative’s YouTube channel. We hope you had a great time during NIF 2025, and we hope to see you again next year for NIF 2026!

*We are unable to offer VODs for “The Dangers of Influence, and the Unintentional Artist” and the NSFW Portfolio Review.
