I’ll be signing and sketching at The Source Comics and Games in Roseville, MN this Saturday, starting at 10:00am. Wherever you are, you can visit the Free Comic Book Day web site to find the participating store nearest you. Stop by and grab some free comic books! But if you live near The Source in Roseville (2057 Snelling Avenue North), stop by and say hello! I’ll be selling prints , Young Justice and Avengers: Earth’s Mightiest Heroes trade paperbacks, and doing commission sketches all day!

I’ll be selling my 11″×17″ prints (all the same ones I just had at the C2E2 convention) for $20 each , which is $10 less than from my Etsy store! So if you’ve had your eye on anything in particular, this is a great time to purchase it!Stop by my table and show me that you follow my Christopher Jones Comic Art page on Facebook or @ChrisJonesArt on Twitter and get one of two FREE exclusive items:

Did you know that Free Comic Book Day comics aren’t free to the comic store you get them from? They pay a small fee to the publishers, which adds up pretty quickly. Whichever comic book shop you visit, please consider making a purchase while you’re there to help reward that store for participating in this great annual tradition!

My C2E2 Schedule/C2E2 Uber Post!

I am leaving this afternoon to drive to Chicago for C2E2. Because I will have limited ability to check my messages during the convention, I’m going to leave you with one last C2E2 uber post! What follows is my C2E2 schedule, how to find me at the convention, things I’ll be giving away and selling, and more. Are you ready? Yes? Good! Let’s go!

C2E2 Schedule

Friday 6:00-7:00 PM: Artist Alley Stage

Drop by and watch me draw, live, projected onto a BIG screen! If you’re interested in seeing my art being created, you won’t want to miss this!

Saturday 7:30-9:30 pm: Charity Art Auction

I probably won’t actually be present for this, but I am donating artwork to it. This is a group portrait of The Micronauts (re-named the “Microns” for legal reasons) as they appeared in Marvel Universe – Avengers: Earth’s Mightiest Heroes #7. This art was used as part of a special-effects panel where the Microns were shrinking from action figure size down into their sub-atomic universe.

All other times, I will most likely be found at table B7 in Artists Alley. Here’s a handy map:

At my table, I am happy to sign anything you bring me! I will be doing commission sketches, and I will have comics and Young Justice trade paperbacks for sale. I will also have my prints for sale, including this new Young Justice print!

I wanted to do a little something extra special for Young Justice fans at C2E2. So, if you’re hungry during the day at the convention, stop by my table in Artists Alley and give me the password, and I’ll give you a Reach Energy Bar, absolutely free, to keep you fueled for the day.* You won’t know what’s got into you!**

Reach Energy Bar

*While supplies last. I’m bringing 300 of them but I don’t know how many of you guys will be there.
**They’re Quaker Granola bars, don’t worry. But be mindful if you have any food allergies.

 

Hal will be running a free to play Young Justice role playing/scavenger hunt from my Artists Alley table as well. If you complete all four missions, you will be rewarded with a special button and a certificate!

So, as you can see, there is a lot going on this weekend! I can only imagine how busy I would have been had I also been scheduled for a panel or three!  Anyway, I’m going to go finish packing for my C2E2 road trip! I hope to meet lots of fans there and come back with many stories. Oh, and if you can’t make it to the convention, follow along on my Facebook page, where I will be posting photos of cosplayers all weekend!

Coming to Denver Comic Con – May 31-June 2 2013

Comic-Con-630x423

They couldn’t keep me away! In a last-minute addition to my 2013 schedule, I’ll be a guest at the Denver Comic Con at the end of May. I’ll be joining my Young Justice partner-in-crime Greg Weisman at the Denver show, so it’ll be a great opportunity to get us BOTH to sign all those Young Justice comic books and prints! I’m looking forward to this, it’s my first visit to the Denver convention and really my first visit to Denver if you don’t count layovers at the airport.

I’ll have more to say about the Denver show after I get back from the Chicago Comics and Entertainment Expo (C2E2) this weekend!

You can check out all my planned convention appearances for the coming  year on my Appearances Page!
