Otis Roffman

Otis Roffman is a writer and cartoonist. Their work has been featured in the Loft's Artist Blog, multiple small press journals, and at two gallery shows in Budapest, Hungary. Roffman believes all writing is writing, regardless of genre, and that what is most important is one's confidence in their own craft and process.

Loft Spotlights
Papa Mbye on MANG FI & Minneapolis
Papa Mbye just made his first ever album, and it's really good. The Loft talks with Papa about his artistic process, working in multiple mediums at once, and the reasons why Minneapolis sounds like nowhere else.

Anti-capitalist Books
In the United States, it is almost impossible to make a living as a writer. This is because our country has divested from the arts in favor of industry. Capitalism demands commodification above all else, and this corruption has stifled American literature for far too long.
