Ballard’s coolest indie art space is a treasure trove for fans of underground comics and zines. One choice zine, from Seth Goodkind, is called “Witch, Please” and features sketches and reviews created after he watched every single video in Scarecrow Video’s Witches and Warlocks section. The shelves are also lined with gorgeous risograph printed notebooks, journals, and many fancy writing implements. If you can’t decide what to get a friend, why not try the subscription box ($55), which will deliver art supplies, zines, and artist-made items like stickers and patches directly to your giftee.

🛠️ Regular workshops and events
📠 Gorgeous risograph printed notebooks
💥 Curated selection of indie comics
🏷️ Artist-made stickers and patches
