FEATURED WISCON ARTIST: Bookish Stickers bookishstickers.com Bookish Stickers is known for our quietly subversive stickers, magnets, buttons, prints, and more. Our fun, inclusive, and progressive designs are known for saying the quiet part out loud. Topics covered include politics, social issues, books, pop culture, memes, sardonic humor, and more! We were honored to have a table in the 2023 WisCon Art Show and received a great response from attendees. Batwinged creature gesturing at WisCon logo wiscon.net
Stickers reading "Abortion is healthcare," "Who knows why we were taught to fear the witched, and not those who burned them alive," "He who hath not a uterus shall shutteth the fuck up. Fallopians 19:73," "Get in good trouble - John Lewis," "The only bodies that need to be regulated are America's executive, legislative, and judicial bodies," and "Reproductive rights are human rights." The first two stickers have rainbow colors behind the text. The others are dark text on a light background or vice versa.
Stickers made to look like colorful cassette tapes, reading "In the club we are all family," "This is going to ruin the tour," "Ska's not dead," "Dude can you play a song with a f#cking beat?!," no text but in rainbow-flag colors, "My life is a mess but my plants are thriving," "Love, light, and fuck the system," and "Throwback comfort songs for escaping this fresh hell."

The core true thing about fiction writing, I think, is that you have to believe that your words matter. That your voice matters. That what you write matters. The word believe is circled. The words you write are underlined Picture of a hand writing with a pen naomikritzer.com
Because if you don’t believe those things, it is a lot easier to give up. The word don't is circled. Picture of a hand writing with a pen naomikritzer.com
Your words matter. Your voice matters. Not everyone here is a writer, so I’m not talking about fiction, necessarily, I’m talking about all the other things you do, that we do. The things we build, the communities we connect, the people we lift up, all of it. The words your words are circled, as are the words we build and the words we connect.

In a meadow with trees in the background, a small child sits, looking happily at life-sized iced animal cookies walking around. There is an elephant that is white and covered with multicolored sprinkles, and a camel and another animal, maybe a buffalo, that are pink with the same sprinkles.
In the back seat of a car, two sleepy children slump under blankets. One by the window has a teddy bear; a smiling moon reaches through the open car window to hold their hand.
In a hair salon, a woman sits under an old-fashioned hair dryer, with a steaming cup on the table next to her. Her hair is curly and pink. To the right, a poodle with hair identical to the woman's sits under a matching hair dryer, with a bone on the table beside them.
FEATURED WISCON ARTIST: Tessa Davidson tadillu.com "My work centers around the whimsical and the zany, but primarily that which is envisioned through the lens of childhood. Illustration acts as my medium to celebrate unashamed imagination and a sense of playfulness. The art I make plays heavily into the idea of the fantasies of children and exaggerations of reality."

WE STAND WITH MINNESOTA "Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everyhere." - Martin Luther King Jr. Surrounding the text are images of a masked man holding a sign saying "And then they came for me," a megaphone, a hand holding a sign saying "Love melts hate," a person holding a sign saying "She wasn't mad but we are livid - Justice for Good," the bunny hat worn by Liam Ramos in the photo taken at the time of his detention, and three upraised fists, one white, one black, and one brown.
This is not the time to be silent. Speak Up. Step Up. Resist. Drop links below for ways we can come together as a community and stand with Minnesota and with our people.

Background lavender with gold stripes. Cartoon dragon presenting the WisCon logo. Text: Featured WisCon Artist: Melissa Gay www.melissagayart.com I am a neurodiverse LGBTQ+ artist who is equally passionate about sci-fi, fantasy, and wildlife art. Myths and legends about the natural world inspire me, as does our increasingly detailed view of the Universe through science and technology. I love to create hazy, dreamlike, otherworldly scenes, and my goal is to incorporate just enough detail to fire the viewer’s imagination and inspire them to fill in the story. WisCon URL: wiscon.net
