Pegacron

Portland, Oregon

Bio

My name is Marco and I'm a Filipino-American artist making zines under the name Pegacron in Portland, OR. I began working on my main zine project titled "Catharsis" back in my college days in 2007/2008 when it started as a creative stream-of-conscious outlet filled with drawings and rants, and now is mostly filled with cartoon characters in comic form. I was always attracted by the the DIY punk ethic that I associated with zines and appreciate how accessible they can be to get into. 15 years later and I still enjoy making them. Catharsis #25 out now!
