Just announced – I’ll be a Guest at Hal-con in Halifax, Nova Scotia this November 8-10! This will be my first visit to Canada ever and my first convention outside the USA! I couldn’t be more excited!
I’ve been intrigued by Hal-Con since they first got on my radar. Hal-con describes itself as the largest Sci-Fi/Comics/Gaming/Fantasy convention in Atlantic Canada, and they sound to me like something of a cousin-to-the-North of CONvergence, the convention I helped start here in Minnesota back in 1999. They’re a big, friendly fan-run convention, with programming and year-round community events that sound a lot like what I know from my years of involvement with CONvergence.
I think Nelson and CONvergence’s Connie may need to meet…
Hal-con’s Nelson
Connie, Max Misfittle and Friends
Hal-Con also has a robust YouTube channel, with the slogan “not quite entirely unlike live coverage.” Check out the Superhero Workout.
I’ll have more information about my appearance at Hal-con as the dates get closer. In the mean time you can check out their website for more information about the convention.
By the way, my appearance at Hal-Con as a Guest came about because of a conversation that started because a fan asked the convention about having me there. If you want to see me at a convention near you, letting the convention organizers know is the best way to make it happen. Most conventions have a survey or other channels for input from fans/members/attendees. Let them know if you want to see me there!
You can check out all my planned convention appearances for the coming year on my Appearances Page!
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.
ValleyCon is a festival of popular culture, featuring sci-fi, fantasy, horror, comics, gaming, anime and film & TV!
You can check out all my upcoming appearances on my aptly named Appearances Page.
And remember, if you want to see me at your convention or event, tell the event organizers you want me there! They can contact me at Chris@ChristopherJonesArt.com. I never charge an appearance fee but help with travel and hotel costs is always a plus!
I’m looking forward to seeing meeting new friends and fans at ValleyCon this October, and in the meantime I’ll be hoping for a late start to our upper-midwest Winter weather this year!
I just did an update of my Appearances page, to among other things show that I’ll be at Marscon in Bloomington, MN coming up soon on March 1-3. I’ll be on a couple of panels (details below) and will have prints in the Art Show. If you’re there, find me and say hello!
Both my panels are on Saturday March 2 in the Krushenko’s programming space in Room 1332.
1:00pm – Social Media Marketing
2:00pm – Female Fandom in Comics
Do you want to see me at your convention or event?
Let me know by sending me an email at Chris@ChristopherJonesArt.com. (I never charge an appearance fee but help with travel and hotel costs is always a plus!)
I’ll be signing and sketching at The Source Comics and Games in Roseville, MN this Saturday, starting at 9:30am. 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, stop by and say hello! Don’t forget that The Source is in their fabulous new space (2057 Snelling Avenue North). I hope to see you there!
This is a pre-move map! The "new" location IS CURRENT!
