New York Comic Con This Weekend! Come Say Hi!

Come see me at the New York Comic Con this weekend. I’ll be sitting in for a few hours at the National Cartoonists Society Booth #1162 (near the Marvel pavilion). I’ll have my Bigfoot books (of course), my new Haunted Mansion poster, and I’ll be signing and sketching. Stop by and say hi (Friday 4-7/ Saturday 1-4).

I’ll be at Haverford Kids’ Comic Fest, May 18th

Sure, it was designed to encourage kids who have an interest in comics, but the Haverford Kid’s Comics Fest is for fans of any age interested in comics, storytelling, and comic creators. That’s where I’ll be this upcoming Saturday. And so will a bunch of comic-making friends who want to share their skills and enthusiasm for the art form. A nice way to spend an afternoon.

Coincidentally, that’s the same day as the NCS Reubens Banquet in California where Untold Tales of Bigfoot has once again been nominated. And yeah, sure, I could be in California that night, uncomfortable in my tuxedo, crossing my fingers until my hands go numb. But as much fun as that would be, I’m gonna have a blast in Haverford, PA with Pat McCuen, Crispin Wood, Dawn Griffin, and a bunch of other folks sharing their time with kids who want to make comics too. Besides, Bigfoot doesn’t own a tux.

I’ll be at Free Comic Book Day, May 4th, Phantom of the Attic In Oakland!

The fine folks at Phantom of the Attic in Oakland have invited me back to participate in their Free Comic Book Day festivities on Saturday, May 4th — which, for those in the know, also happens to be Star Wars Day (May The Fourth Be With You)!

What Goes On Here?

Jeff and the rest of the crew always put on a great FCBD, and the shop is top notch. Here’s a link to Phantom’s Facebook page for the event. I’ll be there between 10am(ish?) and 3-ish? / 4-ish? And I’ll be joined at the table by some local comics luminaries —

• Dave Wachter, an amazing artist whose current work on Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles is a feast for the eyes.
• Thomas Scioli, an award-winning comic artist who’s worked for Marvel and Image and is currently turning out great stuff with The Gobots.

What Am I Doing There?

I’ll be there doing some affordable sketches, selling some reasonably-priced books, and debuting a couple cheapity-cheap mini-comics. Oh, and my friend Michelle @runredrun will be piloting Puppet Bigfoot this time out. Should be a great time! Hope to see you!
