Emerald City Comic Con 2018 starts in just over a week (March 1 – 4), and ya boy Pj will be there at Artist Alley table MM13. And, assuming everything I stress over in the above video pans out, I’ll actually have new books to sell ya, as well as restocked old books, some new art, new buttons, and hopefully a cheery disposition.

I’ve exhibited at Emerald City three times previously. First, in 2010, which was my first “big” con after I started doing comics quasi-professionally the year before. Back then, ECCC lasted only two days and took place all in one exhibit hall. (It’s now four days and spans like every floor of the Washington State Convention Center.) Then I was back in 2013, again in Artist Alley, and then again in 2014, with a too-big booth for Pop! Goes the Icon, where I hosted guests like Dan Schkade (San Hannibal) and Ed Hawkins (Tales from Lost Vegas).

This will be my first appearance at any convention in years under my own “brand.” No Pop! Goes the Icon elements. No books by other creators (not counting anthologies to which I contributed). Just me, my comics, my art, and my graying beard. For four days. By myself. BUT. I am excited to have new books to show off, and to reconnect with my Pacific Northwest peeps. Plus: It’s Seattle, which I love, even though it’s going to cold AF and possibly snowing, which I don’t love.

Anyway, if you’re going to the show, be sure to swing by Level 6 (!), where you can find me, according to the map below, in the Writers Block (?), wedged between some panel rooms and the University Book Store. I’ll be the guy in front of the banner that says my name on it, probably eating a Clif Bar.
