2012 C2E2 Schedule

My big local Chicago show is coming this weekend, C2E2! It's last minute, but my plans are starting to firm up. I still have to schedule an interview with Newsarama for some time Saturday, but everything else is firm. Hope to see you there at Artist Alley Table A5.

As usual, I'll be charging for 'nice' sketches, probably starting at $120 and going up in price with each additional reservation on the sketch list. Catch me early! I start a new list each day. I'll be doing some charity sketching for the HERO Initiative on Sunday for $60-$100. And as always, I'll be trying to fit in some free sketches for the kids.

I won't have anything else for sale, but I'll display some NFS (not for sale) artwork and I'll sign books for free.

You can buy one piece of original comic art from me If you win the Saturday charity auction. I've donated the cover to Action Comics #3 to help support St Jude Children's Research Hospital.

It's been a fun week leading up to the show. My friends Stéphane and Meng from France showed up a few days before the show started. I took them to the most American restaurant in Chicago, Kuma's Corner, the heavy metal burger bar, for massive mounds of all-American beef topped with bacon!

To my shame, Stéphane proved to be a better American than I am. I must mudbog in a monster truck to wash away the embarrassment....
