Arden Myers is a Story Artist, Comic artist, Illustrator, and Creative Marketer currently based in South California originally born and raised in New York. I am a recent graduate of the Savannah College of Art and Design and a Creative and Channel Marketing Associate at Pentel of America! I’m a curious and bubbly artist who pours my love and passion into anything I create, thriving most in creative teams whether it be comics, story and concept art, or media marketing. I seek to inspire others to share their authentic-selves with the world, as do I, and create art that resonates with people. Let’s connect and tell stories together that make our world a bit brighter!

PARTICIPANT SCHEDULE

Finding Your Family: The Importance of Creator Communities

Room 101-102 | Pentel Arts | Owen Freeman | Nikki Longfish | Erin McGuire | Arden Myers | Chris Koehler | Zi Xu

Building a career in animation, illustration, or entertainment art can feel isolating—but the right creative community can change everything.

This panel explores how artists find mentors, trusted peers, honest feedback, accountability, and the shared knowledge that helps careers grow. We’ll discuss where to find existing communities, how to start your own, and why in-person connection still matters, from casual coffee meetups to organized events.

We’ll also look at the benefits and pitfalls of social media and how artists can build deeper, lasting relationships online and off. Whether you’re established or just starting out, you’ll leave with practical ideas for finding your creative family and becoming stronger together.
