East Side Mags is stoked to host our long-time friends from long ago - Pitiful Smile Media!
Pitiful Smile Media is a quirky, queer, BIPOC owned Multimedia Arthouse. We create bold, eccentric entertainment as well as creating art opportunities for underprivileged and marginalized creators.
Our works give creators a chance to connect with one another, inspire their community and create an artistic outlet to express their experiences in a healthy way. Our stories are translated into games, comics and various art projects. Pitiful Smile Media is a comics company for the people. We focus on making entertainment affordable and accessible, without losing quality.
Pitiful Smile Media has heard the praises from Denver Fan Expo, Manos Sagrados, ayA Con, and Out Front Magazine that this is what our community wants. If you’re looking for a studio that doesn't mind rocking the boat, Pitiful Smile Media is the place to go for bold entertainment!
