Matt Furie, Artist/Illustrator - XOXO Festival (2018)
Matt Furie is the illustrator and cartoonist best known as the creator of Pepe the Frog, a joyful character he was horrified to see co-opted by white nationalists and the alt-right as a mascot during the 2016 election. He’s fought to reclaim Pepe since, including a high-profile lawsuit to stop Infowars from profiting off his creation.
