Console Room 2024 – Minneapolis

This weekend I’ll be a guest at my old hometown Doctor Who convention Console Room Jan 12-14 at the Hilton MSP Airport/Mall of America Hotel in Bloomington, MN.

I’m looking forward to seeing many old friends and meeting fellow Doctor Who fans.

I’ll be doing a signing each day of the con. Signatures are free and I’ll have copies for sale of Heralds of Destruction (my 3rd Doctor comic written by Paul Cornell), Operation Volcano (my 7th Doctor comic written by Andrew Cartmel), and Once Upon a Time Lord (my 10th Doctor graphic novel written by Dan Slott). I’ll also have a selection of my 11×17 Doctor Who art prints, including two NEW pieces – the cover art from Once Upon a Time Lord and my design of a “Season 27” era console room as I had designed for Operation Volcano.

On Sunday I’ll be privileged to interview Sylvester McCoy on MainStage, so stop by to see how that goes!

Saturday morning at 10:00am I’ll be giving a visual presentation on my history with Doctor Who artwork. It’s a retrospective and also has a bit of window into my process and just some fun stories and Easter eggs. I hope some folks get up early enough on Saturday to come join me!

Last call for Young Justice #17

Giant Cobra on Hennepin Mall

Before Young Justice #18 comes out next Wednesday, I wanted to make one last plug for the current issue, Young Justice #17. For my local friends, you won’t want to miss the Minneapolis landmarks featured in this story, and it’s chock-full of action as Robin, Kid Flash and Artemis do battle with the Kobra Cult while their Justice League mentors Batman, Flash and Green Arrow have to contend with a giant cobra rampaging through the City of Lakes. (That’s Minneapolis, in case you don’t know. I just wanted to avoid saying Minneapolis twice in one sentence!)

Here’s a couple of nice reviews in case you needed further convincing:
