Your 2011 Maisie Kukoc Award Winner Is Damien Jay



It was announced Friday in conjunction with the Stumptown Comics Fest -- or at least with Portland's big comics show nearby and the same weekend -- that Damien Jay won this year's Maisie Kukoc Award for his work on The Natural World #3-4. Jay was a nominee last year. The Maisie Kukoc Award targets mini-comics and awards their makers with real cash money so that they might make more of their awesome work. I think it's basically a juried award; I voted on it this year and in past years.

You can read Jay's reaction and get a look at his award here. You can see some of the winning work by poking around here.

The other nominees this year were Alexis Frederick-Frost for The Courtship Of Ms. Smith, Kevin Huizenga for Back That Fact Up, Levon Jihanian for Danger Country #1, Minty Lewis for Salad Days and Dan Zettwoch for Tel-Tales #1 and Back That Fact Up. Hopefully you will seek out and buy the winning mini-comics and the nominated work because every time someone buys a mini-comic an angel gets its wings.
