Patrick Allaby was born in the stately town of Fredericton, New Brunswick on a hot summer night in 1993. He graduated from Fredericton High School near the top of his class (behind only E. Adeniyi) in 2011 and earned his Bachelor of Finance Degree from Mount Allison University, the McGill of New Brunswick, in 2015. He will selling seven of his most spectacular self-published comics at DCAF, including the thrill-a-minute “Vomit Zone,” the pleasantly pleasing “Proper Drawing Technique,” the disturbed “David” and the gut wrenching “Gracie.”

He has two personal websites:

Miriam Gibson makes silly comics by moonlight and works in games by daylight. She is mostly known for drawings of centaurs, and other supernatural stuff. Sometimes she draws monsters doing household chores. Check out her tumblr and please stop by and say hi at DCAF!

Shannon Long and Anthony Mah are local artists working in the game and animation industry respectively, with a huge passion for comics.
The two combined their efforts to manage their first webcomic anthology 16 Debut in 2013, featuring 16 comics by 17 wonderful contributors, their own works included.
After the success of 16 Debut, Anthony and Shannon have decided to host a new webcomic anthology titled “40 Winks” – they are looking for creative folk who might be interested in contributing in the next project. Find them at DCAF for more information and to see their artwork, fanart and on the spot commissions.
