FINK
If you mention Fink (real name Fin Greenall) to someone, you’ll probably get one of two reactions: head-scratching non-familiarity, or the impassioned response that prompts artists such as John Legend and Professor Green to wax lyrical about him live on air. Count us among those having the latter response! Fink started as a world-class DJ and electronic producer before moving on to be the first and pre-eminent singer-songwriter signed to the legendary British label Ninja Tune. Fink is also an in-demand collaborator, having written for the likes of John Legend, Ximena Sarinana, Amy Winehouse, and Professor Green. His songs have been been heard on television shows such as CSI: NY, Lie to Me, Friday Night Lights, NCIS, and House MD amond many others. His studio albums include Biscuits for Breakfast (2006), Distance and Time (2007), Sort of Revolution (2009), and Perfect Darkness (2011).

MOLLY CRABAPPLE
Molly’s hyper-detailed compositions are something akin to a Where’s Waldo diptych—on a 7-day bender. Spurred by a desire to de-sterilize the buttoned-up art school scene, Molly founded Dr. Sketchy’s Anti-Art School, a celebratory mash-up of cabaret and live drawing. Now in its 6th year—with branches in over a hundred cities—Dr. Sketchy’s global trajectory continues to accelerate. Molly’s brand of off-grid entrepreneurship caught the attention of major media outlets, securing cover stories and featured profiles in The New York Times, The Los Angeles Times, The New York Post, Playboy, AP Wire, NPR, and hundreds of other media outlets around the world. No stranger to nightlife (or notoriety), Molly collaborates with avant-garde performers and underground theatrical venues across the globe, occupying the enviable post of House Artist for The Box, one of the world’s most infamous nightclubs. Molly’s first graphic novel, the steampunk saga Puppet Makers, was released electronically by DC Comics in 2011, and her forthcoming Straw House will be issued by First Second Books in 2013. With close-woven ties to comic book sub-culture, it comes as no surprise that Crabapple’s celebrity fans include Hugo Award-winning graphic novelist Neil Gaiman—as well as musician Moby and comedian Margaret Cho.
