Gallifrey One 2024

I’m excited to be returning this coming weekend to Gallifrey One, America’s largest Doctor Who convention here in Los Angeles!

Their stellar lineup of guests this year includes Sir Derek Jacobi, Billie Piper, Alex Kingston, Segun Akinola, Camille Coduri, Jacqueline King, Eric Roberts, Rachel Talalay and many other talented actors, writers, composers, and designers. I’m honored to be joining them!

Unlike my comic con appearances, I won’t be at an artist alley table all weekend. If you want to find me for an autograph or to buy one of my prints, I you’ll need to find me at one of my three scheduled signings. I recommend seeking me out early as I may run out of my supply or prints and collected editions of my Doctor Who comics. With Derek Jacobi and Eric Roberts both attending I’ll be sure to have a supply of my “I am the Master” print. And in honor of Alex Kingston appearing I have a brand new print featuring River Song.

I was also inspired to create a new print featuring Romana as Lalla Ward was scheduled to attend. Unfortunately she had to cancel her appearance this year but I’ll still be bringing the print, which features both TV incarnations of Romana as played by Lalla Ward and Mary Tamm.

Finally, I will be bringing copies of my new Season 27 Console Room print and my print featuring the cover art I did for the Once Upon a Time Lord graphic novel I did with Marvel writer Dan Slott, both of which made their debut at the Console Room convention last month.

 

I’ll have a selection of other old favorites available as well. If there’s a specific print you want to grab a copy of at the convention other than these, drop me an email so I can bring one to hold on reserve for you. As always, after prints have made their convention debut they will be made available online through my Etsy store!

You can also sign up for my Kaffeeklatsch, an hour-long gathering ideal for asking questions, hearing anecdotes, and generally having a more relaxed conversation.

My full convention schedule is below:

Christopher Jones at Gallifrey One 2020

I am delighted to be returning as a guest to the Gallifrey One convention, February 14-16 at the Marriott Los Angeles Airport Hotel. I have a great time every year at Gallifrey One, and this is the first time I’ll be attending as a local, since moving to Los Angeles in December!

This year I will NOT have a table in the Dealers Room, but there will still be plenty of opportunities to see me and (if you are so inclined) buy my art!

Here’s my schedule:

Friday, February 14

 

1:00pm – Autographs

I’ll be signing autographs and selling prints in the Autograph area for two hours each day of the convention. Autographs are always free and I’m happy to sign items you already own. Stop by and say hello!

6:00pm – The Game of Rassilon

Christopher Jones • Dan Peck • Michael Nixon • Ben Paddon • Riley Silverman
Once more, we play our dangerous game, a game of chess against our old adversaries… wait. That’s Hunt for Red October. Sorry. This is silly Doctor Who speed role-playing in front of an audience. Come see the fun!

Saturday, February 15

 

1:00pm – Autographs

It’s the second daily autographic block. I should be there until 3pm. Come see me!

4:00pm – Taking Your Love of Doctor Who to the Next Level

Christopher Jones • Lauren Bancroft • Abie Ekenezar • Andy Hicks • Jennifer Picker • Brian Uiga • Kevin Wilcox
I started as a Doctor Who fan and now I draw Doctor Who comics! Crazy, right? Come here about the individual journeys of the panelists from Who fandom to something… more!

8:00pm – The Masquerade of Mandragora 2020, Featuring “The Time of the Comedy”

Christopher Jones • Tony Lee • Lauren Bancroft • Abie Ekenezar • Joseph Scrimshaw • Riley Silverman
Something funny will happen to fill time during the Masquerade judging. We hope.

Sunday, February 16

 

11:00am – Christopher Jones: Illustrating the Future

If I had titled this I would have called it Doctor Who: Heralds of Destruction – Live commentary. I see actors do live commentary on their TV episodes all the time at these conventions. Why can’t I do the same for my comic book work? I’ll be talking about my creative process and sharing some behind-the-scenes stories and easter eggs from the Third Doctor mini-series I drew, based on a story by Paul Cornell!

12:00pm – Autographs

Last chance of the weekend to come get something signed or buy one of my prints. Don’t miss out! (I’ll have to leave a bit before 2pm to get to my next panel…

2:00pm – Current Star Trek Comics

Paul Cornell • Jody Houser • Christopher Jones • Collin Kelly • Jackson Lanzing • Denton Tipton Paul and I will be talking about our brand-new Star Trek: Year Five Valentine’s Day special as part of a presentation on what’s happening with IDW’s Star Trek comics.
Again, I’m always happy to talk to fans and make new friends, so please come say hello. Autographs and photos are always free!

Commission Sketches

I will be doing commission sketches during Gallifrey One, but I expect my sketch list to fill up FAST, so if you’re hoping to get a sketch from me, try to stop by my  table in the Dealers Room as early as possible.

All of my convention sketches are black ink on 9×12″ bristol. I will also draw on sketch covers and in sketchbooks, and on …other things… by request. Payment due when you pick up the completed sketch.

My Gallifrey One 2018 Sketch Rates are…

  • Full Figure: $100 for the first character + $80 for each additional character
  • Head Sketch (shoulders & up): $60

Art Prints

I will have all of my prints available during Gallifrey One at the usual reduced convention prices:

  • 11×17″ Color Prints: $20 each or 3 for $50
  • 8.5″x11″ Color Prints:  $10 each
  • 8.5″x11″ Black & White Prints:  $5 each

I’ve got a number of new Doctor Who and Young Justice prints since last year’s Gallifrey One including:

And lots favorites from past years:

Jon Pertwee Homage PrintBat Wolf Art Print   Last Look Doctor Who print by Christopher Jones
 

And popular 8.5″ x 11″ $10 prints.

 

You can find a full selection of my prints, including more Doctor Who andYoung Justice prints, on my Etsy store.

Finally:

And, just to cover a few other questions I often get on Twitter:

  • Autographs are always free and I’ll sign anything you bring me. (Check out my guide to asking for signatures and drawings at conventions!)
  • I do not charge for photos and I am happy to take a photo with anyone who asks!
  • I’m happy to do interviews, podcasts, snippets, goofy stuff, and whatever any day but Sunday, but the earlier you can drop by, the better!

I really am looking forward to everyone at Gallifrey One this weekend! Come say hello!

I’ll be a GUEST at GallifreyOne 2014

Galley TARDIS & Seal a prev

I had a great time at Gallifrey One this past February, so I couldn’t be more delighted to announce that I’ll be returning in 2014 as a Guest of the convention! 2013 may be the 50th Anniversary of Doctor Who, but 2014 is the 25th Anniversary of the world’s largest and longest-running annual Doctor Who convention.

Gallifrey One: 25 Glorious Years will be held February 14-16 2014 at the Los Angeles Airport Mariott Hotel. I’m excited to be joining the already-impressive slate of guests they’ve announced for 2014, including Colin Baker (The Sixth Doctor), Katy manning (Jo Grant), John Levine (Sgt. Benton), Richard Franklin (Sgt. Mike Yates), Frazer Hines (Jamie McCrimmon), Paul Cornell (Writer, “Human Nature”), Gary Russell (Novelist/Script Editor) and MORE!

I’ll be announcing what panels and signings I’ll be doing with the convention gets closer, but in the mean time I’ll have to see how many new Doctor Who prints I can get done by then!

You can always read up on all my planned convention appearances for the coming year on my Appearances Page!
