Is it really time for another comic convention already? Wasn’t it just a month ago I was up in Portland, Ore. for the indie comics-oriented Stumptown Comics Festival? (Answer: yes.) Well, in about 10 days, I’ll be on my way to a significantly different climate, as I drive my Toyota Matrix loaded with comics, display stands and paraphernalia to Phoenix for my first-ever attendance at Phoenix Comicon.

I’ll be kicking it at small press table 237 all weekend (well, Friday, Saturday and Sunday), representing Pop! Goes the Icon with fellow Vegas cartoonist F. Andrew Taylor. I got new prints made for the show, will have fresh copies of the Utopian trade paperback, and will be doing sketches on request. I already started taking some requests ahead of time, so if you’d like a cheap sketch commissioned to pick up at the show (or otherwise), drop me a message.

I’ve heard good things about Phoenix Comicon and I’m looking forward to a great show. If you’re in the area, I hope you can swing by.
