ABOUT GUERILLADELPHIA

Hey, I’m James Ippoliti—cartoonist, writer, zine maker, and your guide to the strange, hilarious, and horrifying corners of pop culture.

All my DIY creative chaos lives under the banner of Guerilladelphia—a one-man art movement rooted in rebellion, weirdness, and analog heart. From comics to zines to 3D models of evil worms (yes, really), Guerilladelphia is where I make stuff that doesn’t ask permission.

If you’re into offbeat comics, cryptid lore, analog creativity, DIY weirdness, and stories that live somewhere between a laugh and a scream—welcome. You’re in the right place.

I’m the creator of Bud, Nick, & Joe (your favorite trash-talking trio), Cadaver Dog (think The Canine Wednesday Addams), and The Real Demons of Pop Culture (demons trying to make it in the modern world). I also publish the collectible horror zine Book Worms with Regina Saint Claire—where horror meets punk rock meets bookstore nostalgia.

I blew up on TikTok early (over 200,000 followers, a few viral hits), but honestly? The real magic is here, where I can actually connect with readers who get it. Substack is where I share my work, my process, behind-the-scenes madness, and things I’m obsessed with. It’s the stuff I don’t post anywhere else.
