SPECIAL GUESTS
Lark Pien was born in San Francisco in 1972. She has been making minicomics since 1997. Some of her stories like Long Tail Kitty and Mr. Elephanter have been adapted into children’s books. One of her favorite ‘secret’ spots in the city is the Mechanics’ Institute Library. She likes collaborating with creative peeps. She thinks Zinefest is a good idea, so keep it up!EXHIBITORS
