August Mesic

August Mesic is a comic creator, illustrator and tattoo artist from New Westminster BC who recently graduated from Emily Carr University of Art + Design with a bachelor of fine arts, majoring in illustration. August adapts the environments in their work to relate to the subjective experiences of their characters, often featuring recurring shapes, creatures and objects. In summer of 2024 they debuted their first solo exhibition at Arrieta Art Studio titled CORE; a series of cartoony portraits done in acrylic, and in the fall had their paintings for sale at MeeT on main street. August has since completed comic and zine projects that will be featured in anthologies for Cauldron Books & Comics and Reckoning Publishing, and are excited to share printed copies at Rain City Comic Con.
