Hey there everybody!

Tomorrow is New York Comic-con! I will be there with Drew Gaska. No artist table this time, but we will be at the Archaia booth #1546.

There will be copies of The God Machine (including the elusive leather bound edition, i believe.), also the 2nd volume of Fraggle Rock that I worked on will be there.
Drew’s books will be at the show as well: Conspiracy of the Planet of the Apes (I contributed 2 digital paintings), Critical Millennium (I contributed 1 pin-up, an afterword and a few other things.)

Also the newly released graphic novel of Feeding Ground will be out as well at the Archaia booth. Which I contributed a pin-up to that as well!

Hope to see you there!
Booth hours posted at the end of the entry.

I will be in artist alley (not sure what table) as a guest and so will be Andrew “Drew” Gaska at a table of his own!

I will have prints, commissions, The God Machine Graphic Novel, exclusive trading cards, Labyrinth prints, DOCULA prints, and maybe so much more! Drew will be busting with new books- premiering the Critical Millennium Hard Cover at this show (with a pin up and afterword by yours truly), and he’ll have the Conspiracy of the Planet of the Apes book on hand as well!! No doubt that he too will have Apes prints and trading cards for you POTA fans!

BUT WAIT! THERE’S MORE!

THE GOD MACHINE will have it’s own panel at Dragon*con! A first for The God Machine!

Bring your questions, insights, and whatevers!

There will be an exclusive collectible card for anybody who comes out this this event.

To all of you going to Dragon*con, please come out to this! (WARNING: brush up on where it’s at, cause it’s usually a bit of a maze to find these panels. But that is the zen of Dragon*Con…!)  Also, bring  your questions, your insights, how the book has effected you, and whatevers.

I’m going to see about making an exclusive card to give away at this panel… not that I need to bribe you fine people. ;D

This is THE GOD MACHINE’s first panel, so lets make it a good one!

Hope to see you there!

Hey everybody!

It’s that time again, San Diego Comic Con time!

So here’s the scoop!

I will be at the Archaia booth #2635 (between the Image and MARVEL booths) and Archaia’s satellite booth #4401-4500 (confirmed) Please see attached graphic for specific times listed each day. All times are subject to change and possible extra time at the booth as well– sorry it’s not an exact science yet, but Archaia is going to have 70 creators/artists at their booth this year. INSANE!

So what’s happening with me at the Archaia booth? Glad you asked! ;D

–this will be the first time the God Machine hardcover will be at San Diego!  YAY!  So those of you who have been waiting for it (and a signature from me) will get their chance! Be sure to get there ASAP if you’ve been waiting for the LEATHER BOUND EDITION of The God Machine. Archaia only brings limited quanities– so be aware, they GO FAST! 

Also I will be signing for Fraggle Rock, and the PREMIERING prose novel I contributed 2 illustrations for- Conspiracy of the Planet of the Apes! Written by my partner in crime, Andrew E.C. Gaska! –Lots of awesome news for that! At Archaia’s booth there will be exclusive collectible Apes trading cards, a walk around Zira (from the original Apes movies), and special signings with artists from the book – Jim Steranko! Dave Dorman! and Dan Dussault! 

 

More exciting BLAM! Ventures news is that Critical Millennium issue #4 should  be out for this convention!

In addition- I will have a limited amount of prints on me, but that’s about it for this con. No commissions this time around. But if you want one when I get back from the con please check out my commission rules/rates!

I think that’s it for now. See all of you soon!

 

-Chan

Signing times:

*UPDATED:

Wed: 5:30-8:00

Thurs: 12:30-2:00, 6:00-7:00

Fri: [fraggle rock] 11:00-12:00, then Satellite table 5:00-7:00
