Nina C. Young

“Young’s music resides somewhere at the intersection of smart, whimsical, thought-provoking, strange, and new. It manages to tackle social issues and scientific questions while introducing innovative sounds seemingly for the pure joy of it. And with its focus more on sound rather than traditional melody and harmonic structure” - Matt Kufchak, Sightlines

Phoebe Gloeckner

cartoonist

''Her drawing conveys a lot of the underlying feeling of what's going on in the same way a movie can have a shot without dialogue that's a major turning point or a major insight into a character. It's a delicate balancing act. The pictures have to propel the story without overtaking it. That balance -- it's almost a tension -- occurs when a cartoonist is equally good as a writer and artist, and it's very rare.'' – Bill Griffith, the creator of Zippy the Pinhead. Phoebe Gloeckner is a Pabst Endowed Chair for Master Writers
