About
Alyssa Bermudez (she/her) is a New York–born illustrator, designer, and cartoonist living in Lutruwita/Tasmania. She tells real-life stories through ink, watercolour, and digital illustration, often drawing from her own diaries, memories, and big feelings. She is the author and illustrator of the middle-grade graphic memoir Big Apple Diaries (2021), now held in the permanent collection of the 9/11 Memorial Museum in New York City. Her latest graphic novel memoir, Run Home, explores friendship, running, and navigating grief with honesty and heart.Alyssa’s work spans graphic novels, picture books, surface design, live event illustration, and performance, with artwork appearing in over a dozen children’s books, fabric collections, and on stage. When she’s not making comics, she works an art director, teaches workshops, live-sketches events, and obsesses over dogs, books, travel, and keeping plants alive.

Georgina Chadderton (she/they) is an awkward yet friendly Australian cartoonist with an undying love of eating snacks, drinking green tea, patting dogs and playing roller derby. Although Georgina has been published all over the globe, Oh Brother is her first full-length graphic novel. When they're not making comics, Georgina co-directs Papercuts Comics Festival, runs comics-making workshops and reads comics by their favourite comics makers (basically, it’s all comics, all the time). Georgina lives on Kaurna Yerta (Adelaide) in South Australia with her partner Owen and their distressingly large collection of books. Find out more at www.georgerexcomics.com
Join us for a hands-on comic adventure! We’ll introduce our graphic novels and share behind-the-scenes photos from when we were kids, the real-life inspiration for our stories. We’ll also do a live drawing session, showing everyone how we create our characters. Kids can try worksheets, grab fun giveaways, and get their books signed and stamped. Recommended for ages 8+
