Erin Kaczkowski is a local artist, who creates in a wide variety of art mediums, but specializes in Printmaking. Erin holds a degree in Photography from MCTC Minneapolis and a BFA in Printmaking from UWM. Her ever evolving artistic voice celebrates the absurdity of life, reminding us to not take life too seriously. There are themes of grief, joy and humor that viewers connect to their own experiences. This work explores changing identity, duality of emotions, and regrowth from change/tragedy. Erin has begun teaching printmaking workshops in Sheboygan and Milwaukee and has been a vendor in many art fairs to include JMKAC Midsummer Festival of the Arts and Hovercraft Milwaukee. Erin brings her unique style to Rebel Reels Film Society by creating work and selling prints inspired by each film presented.

2025 Update:
Somewhere in time, along the misty mystic shores of Lake Michigan, Dr. Zack Kruse shambles and lurks, sifting through the sands of American subcultures. A scholar-maker at the University of Wisconsin Green Bay, Kruse is curious about how the politics and philosophies of the strange and unusual infiltrate our mundane lives. His book, Mysterious Travelers, changed the conversation about Spider-Man co-creator Steve Ditko and the impact of comics on 20th-century American thought and politics. The Eisner Award-nominated book was recognized as one of the best books on comics in 2021 by The Comics Journal. As a creative, Kruse is a comics writer and a visual artist, as well as a film director, writer, producer, and performer with national and regionally focused publications and productions. Always celebrating public access to overlapping creative and intellectual pursuits, Kruse founded a well-regarded comic book convention, organized several academic conferences, and is on the executive board for the Sheboygan Film Festival. Additionally, he serves as a movie host for Rebel Reels Film Society in Sheboygan, Wisconsin as well as several other community organizations. He also is a frequent podcast guest, and hosts a weekly music program, The Mutant Graveyard. If it’s weird, cast aside, forgotten, or has a lot of heart, Kruse is dragging it out of the fog.
