Who Are We?

Olivia Li

(she/her)

Olivia Li is a cartoonist and organizer living in Queens. She gets really hyped up about art community resources, and contributes to that with event organizing! She has been on the MICE staff as Volunteer Coordinator since 2022, and dreams of one day building a similar show in New York. Olivia is currently working on her debut graphic novel, The West Middle Mirror, out from Andrews McMeel in fall 2026!

Grace Desmarais

(she/her)

Grace Desmarais is a cartoonist and illustrator, whose work is inspired by myth and magic. 

Grace lives in Brooklyn, New York with her husband, and little black cat Lala. When she is not writing about magic and myths, Grace spends most of her time reading romance novels or re-playing Dragon Age.

Robin Desmarais

(he/him)

Robin Desmarais is a Brooklyn-based comics fan and one of the organizers of NYC Cartoonist Meetup. He reads everything from sci-fi to romance comics. His favorite cartoonist (currently) is Mike Mignola and his new Pinocchio collection by Beehive Books. 

When he is not reading comics, Robin spends most of his time cuddling his black cat and writing.
