Collectibles Show this weekend!

I’ll be at the SOUND+VISION MN Collectibles Show this weekend. It’s from 9am-3pm at the Valley Creek Mall in Woodbury, MN, and is FREE! I’ll be selling prints and comics, as well as doing original sketches, so stop by and say hello!

Visit http://soundvisionmn.webs.com/ for more info.

My next appearance will be at the Chicago Comic & Entertainment Expo (C2E2) April 13-15, and then for Free Comic Day (May 1) I’ll be at The Source Comics and Games in Roseville, MN.

You can see all of my planned 2012 appearances on my (appropriately enough) Appearances Page.

Do you want to see me at your convention? Let me know! Send me an e-mail.

I hope to see you in the coming year!

Last Who of the day?

I was reminded that I neglected to include the badge art for CONvergence 2011 Guest of Honor Lynne M. Thomas, who along with Tara O’Shea edited the Hugo Award-winning Chicks Dig Time Lords from Mad Norwegian Press, a collection of essays offering a female perspective on Doctor Who.

The badge art features CONvergence mascot Connie inserted into the Chicks Dig Time Lords cover art by Katy Shuttleworth.

A little more Doctor Who

I’ve done a little Doctor Who-related artwork over the years for CONvergence, the SF convention I helped start back in 1998.

Here’s Connie (the CONvergence robot mascot) dressed as all of the first 10 Doctors (yeah, I know I need to add Matt Smith).

And here’s Connie’s slightly evil sister Connie Mark 2 dressed as the 6 incarnations of The Master.

CONvergence 2003 had the time travel theme of “Time Flies.” The highest on-duty authority at the convention got a badge that said “Exec on Duty,” and every year I tried to find an authoritarian, theme-appropriate image to put on them. This is what I came up with in 2003.

And finally, this was the badge that year for the convention Directors, who were then also the the Board of Directors of the non-profit parent organization MISFITS.

2012 conventions?

Hello, internet! I have a question for you.

I’m looking to travel to more comic conventions in 2012, to do that whole self-promotional thing. Ideially I’d like to get to some conventions I’ve never been to. So what conventions do you recommend? I’d love to hear the perspective of both fans and industry professionals. Heck, I’d really love to get invited somewhere as a guest, but don’t feel pressured, internet.

A few of our favorite things

A few of our Favorite Things

This was a T-shirt design four CONvergence 2007, our Creature Feature year. That’s Connie in front introducing a few of our favorite “Things.” Can you identify them all?

BTW – The art on this T-shirt glows in the dark!
