IN THIS ISSUE

JAMIE GRIPPO ArtByJamieG

Our cover artist this year is one sure to be recognizable by previous MIL-D-CON attendees! Jamie Grippo is a digital artist with an artistic repertoire as diverse as it is captivating. She seamlessly navigates between crafting fanart that resonates with enthusiasts, creating sentimental family pieces, and conjuring up delightful arrays of cute and creepy originals. Her social media is a portal to an enchanting world where her digital art comes alive with vibrant colors and bold lines, offering an extraordinary visual experience. Whether it's her unique take on beloved characters or her imaginative originals, Jamie's magnetic art is irresistible.

Stop by her table during MIL-D-CON to chat, say hi, or just lurk in the shadow (it’s okay, she does the same). She looks forward to meeting her fans (the Spoop Group) and seeing what she considers the most valuable part of her job; your smiles.

Find more MIL-D-CON 2023 details from page 22.
