Things are about to get crazy busy. I made a list of all of the comic related events I’ll be a part of for the rest of the year, and it’s a little overwhelming.
This weekend, April 25th and 26th, I’m a guest at Shikacon, Bristol’s first anime convention! It’s here that I’ll be debuting FREE Reflected Gaze postcards plus the Slimepunk minicomic!
By the way, the first two comics for Reflected Gaze are up, Trying to be Human and Undefined Being, Alien Body. Go read them. Third one is in progress. There’s also a two-part discussion on David Cronenberg’s body horror films which you can read here and here. The Facebook page has surpassed 260 likes, things are rolling along. Response has been good. Just gotta keep going, right?
Anyways. May 2nd is Free Comic Book Day, and once more I’ll be a guest at Mountain Empire Comics! Always a good time. Here's the Facebook event page for that.
May 15th-17th, I’ll be in the artist’s alley at Xcon World in Myrtle Beach, SC. This is my first time going, so I’m pretty excited. I’m getting the first chapter of Cannonball Fist printed in time for this one!
June 19th-21th is the best con of all time, HeroesCon in Charlotte! Nothing but a good time.
The Saturday after that, June 27th, the Johnson City Public Library will be holding their own comic con, which I’ve been invited to come speak at. I’ll also have a table set up for sketches and selling things there. I’ll have more info on that as we get closer to the date.
In early July, I’ve been invited to teach a class or two as part of the William King Museum’s summer art camp program. Hopefully I’ll get to do it, as I think it’d be fun teaching kids how to draw their own mutant portraits. I’ll have more info on that pretty soon.
August 1st and 2nd is Bristol’s own Rob-Con once more! Yep, this year it’s going to be a two-day event, the biggest one yet!
Last but not least, I’m going back to the Asheville Comic Expo on October 24th!
I’m going to be extremely exhausted when this is all over, but it’s also going to be such a blast. I’ll be taking a few fun trips out of town here and there too in between events. So much to look forward to.
Now, back to work. Hope to see some of you this weekend at Shikacon or next weekend for Free Comic Book Day!
