Small Press Expo 2012!

Surprise, surprise! I'm actually doing another comic convention, this year. That's right, kiddies... I'm rocking the Small Press Expo (SPX) this weekend, in Bethesda, Maryland. I've always wanted to participate in this show, since before I was a professional artist. So I'm especially stoked that circumstances aligned for me to attend.

I'll be setting up at booth W12, alongside Danielle Corsetto, the lovely & illustrious storyteller behind the hit webcomic, Girls With Slingshots. I'm bringing a plethora of con-exclusive prints, as well as a special SPX Edition reprinting of my LIONSEATYOU sketchbook. And, as an added treat for my early-bird customers, I'll have a small cache of 11 x 17 posters for the Disney XD/Titmouse, Inc show I work on: Randy Cunningham: 9th Grade Ninja (premiering Monday, Sept 17)!

So if you're hitting the show this weekend, be sure to swing by our spot for all sorts of amazing art, comics and freaky-flavored fun! See the SPX 2012 floor plan below, so you know where to find us. Visit www.spxpo.com for further convention details.

C2E2 2012 This Weekend!

If you're planning on hitting the Chicago Comics & Entertainment Expo 2012 (C2E2), this weekend, you can plan on seeing me there! I'll be a special guest of the extraordinary gentlemen from Nerd City (booth #842), all weekend.

I'm going to be rocking live painting & commissioned sketches in the booth, so you'll be able to see me create this crazy magic of mine, live and in person.

I'll also have a selection of convention exclusive prints, featuring seventeen fan-art favorites that I've created over the past two years. These pieces will include selections from Alphabet Attack! Series 1 & 2. You'll only be able to score these from me during C2E2, so don't miss this rare opportunity to own a print!

And there will be plenty happening, beyond the convention floor. Ignite your convention weekend fuse, Friday night, with The Nerd City Monster's Ball at Reggie's Rock Club. It's sure to be a whisky-soaked after party, complete with DJ's, live bands and down & dirty fun! The gang & I will also be bringing the thunder with a Saturday evening panel, "Booze, Idiocy & Dumb Luck: Nerd City's Guide to Becoming a Media Super Star." Come sit in and learn everything you've ever wanted to know about making it in showbiz, life, and geek love!

So between the convention and the plethora of after-hours events going on, this is going to be an action-packed weekend of comics & entertainment culture. Hope to see you there!
