Dayo (Holy.Diode)

Dayo (Holy.Diode) is a comics-obsessed bioborg channeling futuristic visions: of cosmic computers, subatomic cityscapes, and what lurks in the void between perception and reality. Time, technology, and consequences of its (mis)use feature often.

Moca Mani

I am Moca Mani, a self taught artist from Philadelphia. I have been drawing most of my life, but in 2019 while working at a call center, my coworkers began offering to purchase my artwork. By 2020 Moca Reign was established. Since then I have created and sold countless pieces of art from digital poster prints to unique hand painted pieces and crafts. I also began hosting mobile paint parties. Since 2020 I have hosted roughly 35 paint sessions. Everything from assisted living to children's birthday parties and much more. I have received an Entrepreneurship Award for my business and hosted 2 solo art shows. I have been personally requested to set up and vend at numerous events including fashion shows and concerts. As of now, I have currently returned to school to obtain my Art Education Degree.
