I Constantine’d.
We’re entering con season again (con season is basically all year long, but I pretend like it starts in March), and there are a bunch of shows I’m going to coming up! I’ll have copies of Play Ball, Never Not Drawing (my new sketchbook), some buttons, some prints, and maybe even a few minis. I’ll be doing commissions at any con where I’m tabling, as well as selling original art (including pages fromPlay Ball!).
So! The cons I’ll be attending:
Fluke in Athens, GA (April 6)
I love this con because it’s small, friendly, and (best of all) takes place in a bar. It’s easy to talk to writers and artists, and the stuff that people make is awesome. The admission fee is super cheap, too.
*************221b Con in Atlanta, GA (April 13-14)
This is the kickoff year for 221b Con! It’ll be a con focused on all things Sherlock Holmes (with a concentration on the successful BBC series). I’ll have a table here, and I’ll also be on a Sherlock Fanart panel, which should be really fun. I’m really looking forward to answering questions and talking to other artists!
*************
Free Comic Book Day at Heroes Aren’t Hard to Find in Charlotte, NC (May 4)
Not technically a con, but definitely one of my favorite events of the year. The folks at Heroes Aren’t Hard to Find are some of my favorite comics bros, and I always have an awesome time at Shelton’s shop on FCBD. I’ll be there all day, doing free sketches and chatting about comics. Come out and see some amazing artists and get some awesome art and buy some super awesome comics!
*************
Hands down, Heroes is my favorite con of the year. Run by the excellent people at Heroes Aren’t Hard to Find, this con has so much talent that I feel lucky to basically consider this my “home show” (even though it’s four hours away from Atlanta but whatever). The artists and writers are super friendly, the mood is relaxed, and everyone leaves this con already talking about next year’s Heroes. Love.
Other cons I might be attending:
Dragon Con in Atlanta, GA (August 30-September 2)
Rose City Comic Con in Portland, OR (Sept 21-22)
Tumbnailing directly on script pages. The best way I know how.
HEY LISTEN UP
I’m gonna be in Seattle in a couple of days for Emerald City Comic Con!! I have a table (that I’m sharing with the incomparable Erin Gladstone) where you’ll be able to find me and my books! I’ll have Play Ball for sale, as well as Never Not Drawing (my 2013 sketchbook). I will also be doing 4x6” zombie portrait commissions, fully inked, for the con special price of $40! Swing by and see me at table E-13 this weekend! Here’s a map so you can find me easier:
and here’s my face so that you can stop me and say hi if you see me wandering around the con floor (i’m only 5’2”, so you may have to be looking down to spot me):
here’s me wearing a hat
here’s me with a hat AND sunglasses
here’s my cat
and here’s my book!
awww yeah look at that cover you know you want a copy
So come see me, stop by my table, and say hey!
Seattle, here I come!
Finding that I love drawing burning buildings.
You guys love saddlebags, right?
Finally done with this page…I kept psyching myself out about it and so it took me forever but it actually wasn’t that big a deal in the end OTL
Getting to the pages where I get to draw this guy. So excited QuQ
