Art duo Travis Millard and Mel Kadel spend most days drawing in their 1920's cabin, tucked far above the hustle and bustle of Echo Park. Through elaborate pen and ink creations, Travis and Mel have created an alternate universe filled with a large cast of whimsical, ironic, political and social characters. Travis' Fudge Factory Comics has released a series of zines over the last few years, collaborating with several artists including Mel Kadel (aka Mook), Kiel Johnson and Michael Sieben. We spent the day with Travis and Mel to get a fly on the wall perspective of life as independent artists. |
