I’m gonna be at SPX September 15th and 16th with Kory, Kel and Magnolia, and I need to come up with some New Merch to sell so I don’t show up with the same stuff as last year!  So what I’m doing is drafting a set of cut-out papercraft dolls you can assemble yourself.  I’m designing it so they’ll stand up on their own but you could also fit a penny in their feet to give them more weight to stand up even better with, and I thought I’d share the early design stuff with you!  Also, come to SPX in Rockville, Maryland.  Come say hi! It’s my favorite convention.

Comics time in the city with the absolute finest theme song ever.
“Vancouver! Beautiful city of miiiiinnnne!”
Oh you’ll hum it. And if you leave before the freestyle rap break a kitten will die somewhere in British Columbia.
ktshy:

Vancouver friends!
My brother Shaggy and I’ll be in your city next weekend (Saturday 26th-27th) exhibiting at the Vancouver Comic Arts Festival. It’s free to attend and if you’d like to come say hello and check out our books we’ll be hanging out with our booth buddy Tony Cliff (creator of the Eisner Award nominated webcomic “Delilah Dirk”!) at table 38. Hope to see you there :)

ktshy:

I’ve only just returned from Chicago’s C2E2 comic con and am already diving into another heavy storyboard deadline, so while I don’t have much time to do a proper blog-highlight I’ll quickly say that the con was AWESOME!!! I met a whole bunch of amazing people; old friends, new friends, readers and fabulous creators and am completely inspired to make more comics and art and amazing things!

Here are a few links of C2E2 related events that’ll give you a better idea of goings-on than my keyboard rambling ever could. A couple interviews focusing on a Womanthology panel I was part of and a really fun podcast my brother recorded the Saturday night of the convention with our table buddies.

Coverage of the “Ladies of Womanthology” panel by the Progressively Aggressive Podcast.

Talking to the Micromaphone: 035 Podcasthology at C2E2. With Shaggy Shan, Katie Shanahan and table buddies Jean Kang and Alex Clinkingbeard. Topics include C2E2, Womanthology, and how to avoid being creepy in artist alley. (about 1 hour)

Progressively Aggressive Podcast sits down with Jean Kang and Katie Shanahan. Where Jean talks really smart and I talk really fast. 

That’s all for now, cheers gang!


*(Above photo of me taken by Michael May for the CBR Robot 6 C2E2 photodiary ) (Second photo of Shaggy fulfilling is con quest of acquiring dapper swag).

SPX is GO!

thealmightym:

Just received confirmation that Wayward Studios (partnered with Square City Comics) will have a table at SPX!  HAPPY DANCE!!

I can’t convey just how much of a relief it is to not be on a waiting list this year.  I still have a lot of work to do before I’m ready of course, but at least I’m not trying to cram it all into  a one month period!

I’m also seeing a lot of great people on the list so far as well.  I’m excited to see that Natalie Nourigat will be making her first appearance there as well as the return of Jerzy Drozd, Mark Rudolph, Sarah Turner, Kasey Van Hise, Krishna Sadasvim, Kel McDonald… it’s looking to be a great show already!

Things I Make: SPX 2011 Reflection

msgier:

Well, my second SPX is down for the count. You guys, it was a very good time! The weather was nice, the crowd was robust, and I sold more than I had at any other previous convention. Which isn’t to say that sales should be the only criteria to judge a convention, but it always feels good to have…

2013 Special Guests

Small Press Expo is pleased to announce Seth, Gary Panter, Lisa Hanawalt, Gene Yang and Frank Santoro as special guests at SPX 2013, to be held Saturday, September 14 and Sunday, September 15.  We are honored that both Seth and Gary Panter will be making their first SPX appearances at this year’s show.

 
Seth
Creator and advocate of a Canadian design aesthetic, Seth is best known to the comics world as the artist/writer of the long running Palookaville comic, as well as his graphic novels Wimbledon Green and George Sprott (1895-1975), which was originally serialized in the New York Times. He is also known for his book design work for such series as The Complete Peanuts, Nancy and Melvin Monster, in addition to The Portable Dorothy Parker.

 
Gary Panter
Painter, poster artist, cartoonist, commercial artist, and set designer, polymath Gary Panter has covered the gamut. Best known to the comics world for his long running, post-apocalyptic Jimbo series as well as his graphic novel Dal Tokyo, he also won an Emmy Award for his work on Pee-Wee’s Playhouse, and the Chrysler Award for his influence in graphic design.

 
Lisa Hanawalt
Lisa Hanawalt has vaulted from her Ignatz Award winning mini-comics Stay Away From Other People and I Want You, to illustrating for such periodicals as the New York Times Op-Ed page, Vanity Fair, Glamour, Bloomberg Business Week, as well as McSweeney’s and The Believer. Her latest book is My Dirty Dumb Eyes, a compendium of her work being published this May by Drawn & Quarterly.

 
Gene Yang
Gene Yang, creator behind the award winning American Born Chinese, is returning to the graphic novel field with a two volume set, Boxers & Saints, to be released this fall by First Second Books. Set in China in 1900, it tells the story of the Boxer rebellion and how the teemagers of the day used their “super heroes” from Chinese opera as inspirations to fight against foreign invaders.

 
Frank Santoro
Frank Santoro is back with his latest work, Pompei, published by Picturebox. His Storeyville was one of the most influential comics of the 1990’s, leading to its reprinting in book form in 2007. He now runs the Santoro Correspondence Course For Comic Book Makers, which carries on the tradition of correspondence courses for cartoonists that stretches back over century, now in an online form utilizing the latest in collaborative technology.


Access:

The hotel is directly across the street from the White Flint metro station on the Red Line.
