Sorry folks, but I won’t be at Baltimore Comic Con this weekend. Just a lot of things going on right now and won’t be able to attend at any capacity (hmmm Star Wars force hologram? Nah, not enough crystals).

But I do want everyone to have fun and support the Artist Alley. If you’re there, tell @beckycloonan I said, “Wassup?” (Yes, huge bummer I especially can’t be there to say hi in person).

To all my friends tabling and helping run the show, good luck and kick butt!

Hope to make it next year!

Last weekend was Small Press eXpo and it continues to be best Comic Book Summer Camp of a Show year after year.
