Join us at Printed Matter St Marks for the launch of Fruit Friends Issue 5 featuring comic book readings from the author of Fruit Friends, Clair Gunther, as well as artists Angela Fanche and Lydia Mamalis.

Clair Gunther is a New York based artist who makes comic books and paintings. She hopes to get a shitty house upstate someday and “go full hermit", or become a nun maybe.

Angela Fanche is a cartoonist and illustrator living in Brooklyn. She has a cat as well as a day job!

Lydia Mamalis is a Brooklyn based artist who grew up somewhere very slow and now likes making mundane works that appear in books, on paper and as sculptures.
