Flames of Orion and Art at Red Emma's Baltimore

Red Emma's was a perfect place to hold a DIY event like this!

Over the weekend, Shirkerism, a Baltimore-based arts and culture zine, and the District of the Damned wargaming club held an event showcasing art, zines, and miniature gaming! It was held at a Baltimore icon, Red Emma’s, a worker cooperative bookstore, cafe, and community events space since 2004. The event featured a lot of amazing artists, including our friends Daniel Hassell (draugr._), Molly of the Skirkerism fame, and Martin McCoy (martin.mccoy.art). There was also a host of gaming tables set up to play the mech combat game Flames of Orion.
