#COMIC CONVENTIONS

[evandorkin]

I'll be appearing at the New Dorp Comic Con on Staten Island this Saturday, May 10th. I'll be tabling/signing next to the folks from JHU Comics and will be doing a panel at 2:15 pm.

The con is at New Dorp HS, 465 New Dorp Ln, general admission is $10. And JHU Comics is literally up the block from the high school in case anyone wants to check out my old stomping grounds and pick up some comics.

I'm bringing index cards and some paper in case anyone is interested in getting a sketch, I'm not sure what I'll be charging but it will definitely be a lot less than what the drawings have been going for on eBay. I won't have any books for sale but JHU Comics will probably have some of my work for sale. And I'm happy to sign any books of mine that anyone brings.

Hope to see a few folks there. Or even one person. Anything to justify my getting up in the morning, which I only do a few times a year. Because it pains me.

Someone should make an album or put together a group photo of all the people cosplaying from unjustly cancelled shows.

Just saying. It might prove how much potential networks are throwing in the garbage.

Ayy it's almost time! I will be in artist alley at ECCC '24, B17, in the Summit Building, 2/29-3/3! I'll have lots of comics and prints, including Sunflowers, which just came out! Please come say hi!! Even if you don't buy anything, I won't mind, I just like talking to people haha

I feel like we don't talk enough about vendors at conventions selling AI art or just straight up taking other people's fanart without credit for profit. I just spent the weekend at a con and this one booth sold like 80% stolen artwork or AI art and for like 15-20 bucks a piece

Like im not trying to talk shit about the people AT the booths, because 9 times outta 10 they have no idea that what theyre selling is stolen art, theyre just given products and told to sell it, but it sucks how prevalent its become that some conventions (even rlly big ones) have booths that sell stolen and/or bootleg merch

Todd Stashwick (12 Monkeys, Star Trek: Picard) was at FanExpo Chicago this weekend, and he posted a bunch of photos of other celebrities there whose "work I have loved for years", including one Danielle Panabaker

Seattle-area people, GGC is next weekend and it's such a cute convention! It's fully masked & vaxxed and there's all-ages family programming. I won't be tabling this year, but I'll be walking around and participating in a couple of panels.

The Janimal RETURNS

A little over 9 years ago, we stumbled across a group of indie comics artists who would meet up and draw and hang out and just share stories with each other. We were a brand new store and didn’t really know any “industry” people. In walks the Janimal with his book Time Shark (about a time-traveling shark)! A kid-friendly comic artist who is quite possibly the nicest human to ever walk the earth. We immediately fell in love with both his work and him! Shortly after, life took over and Janimal moved to Arizona and we stayed in touch but we didn’t get a chance to host him again.

Now - almost a decade later - the Janimal returns to the halls of East Side Mags!

Jan Marc “The Janimal” Quisumbing is a Jersey tomato roasting in the Arizona sun. A graduate of the Mason Gross School of the Arts, Rutgers University (NJ), he now resides in Northern Arizona with his family and 3 cats. He has exhibited at comic conventions from Phoenix Fan Fusion to New York Comic Con and serves as the acting president of the Northern Arizona Cartoonist Association (NAZCA). His fun and cartoony style has a great retro feel and translates easily to the drawing demo classes that have been a staple at Verde Valley libraries and LibCons over the past nine years. He currently works at a library in Northern Arizona as its Program and Marketing Coordinator.
