REFRESHED: The Indie Media Awards, Courtesy of Zago Brothers - and YOU!
Introducing 126 Illustrations Representing the Best in Independent Media from 2022 and 2023.
For the past couple of months, I’ve been working with artist Lucio Zago of Zago Brothers, who has created these beautiful illustrations of all the Indie Media Award honorees, representing what we consider the “best of the best” of independent media.






While we are still on schedule to announce the Class of 2024 at the end of October, I’ve gone back and updated all 80 pages on the Indie Media Awards Substack site representing the 2022 and 2023 honorees, as well as all the category pages. The photo gallery above are the images at the top of each of the category pages. Each honoree has a dedicated webpage, with all the links to subscribe and support them - as well as a larger version of the Zago illustration(s).
