Artists + Writers = Dopeness
This video, submitted to us by the uncomparable talents of visual artist Torkwase Dyson and writer/editor/publisher Tisa Bryant, about why they are coming to Fire & Ink III: Cotillion showcases not only the genius on its way to Austin, but the hilarious and loving spirit as well.
The words are coming thick and fast …
The planning for Fire & Ink III: Cotillion has been well under way for over a year — but now that planning is hitting full steam. We’ve just received a bucketful of abstracts on topics so fierce we’re going to make you wait on bated breath for a minute before we drop it on ya.
