Tintero: Comics & Indie Art Festival

I've always heard about Tintero but never got a chance to participate...until now.

You maybe know this feeling: when it comes to festivals/bazaars I always doubt myself regarding if I'll make any sales or not. I'm always proven wrong. ALWAYS. I should know by now.

When it comes to experiencing the vibrant and dynamic comic/zine/illustration scene of Puerto Rico, there's no event quite like Tintero. Especially since the main focus is celebrating original art, this being the only festival on the island that does this making it so much special. Tintero provides a space for both established and emerging artists in Puerto Rico which is a great opportunity to meet new artists, catch up with old friends and seeing familiar faces!

Participating in Tintero was more than just setting up a table; it's about becoming part of a vibrant community that celebrates art and each other. I hope I get to be a part of this festival next year, and if you couldn't make it this year be sure to catch the next one!

TIntero: Festival de cómics y arte independiente de Puerto Rico was held at Casa Ruth in Río Piedras from May 18 to the 19, 2024.

Here's a few photos of merch I sold and my table:
