🎉Last weekend we celebrated 10 years of Wobby with a special expo at
Cross Comix Rotterdam. All issues from the past decade were on display - half of them long sold out - while at the Makers Market we shared the titles still available, along with fresh art prints. It was a rare chance to see the entire Wobby archive together: ten years of bold, visually distinctive work, shaped by a wide range of artists who have contributed to the magazine.

Alongside the expo, we took part in the Meet the Editor portfolio sessions, where we exchanged feedback and ideas with young artists, and we hosted a playful drawing session with illustration diva .

Thank you Cross Comix and Rotterdam (our number one favorite city after Tilburg) for the hospitality - see you next year!
