FREE COMIC BOOK DAY Appearance!


      It might be my favorite "holiday" of the year. This Saturday, May 5th is FREE COMIC BOOK DAY! A day where everyone is welcome at their local neighborhood comic store to nab some free comics from tons of different publishers.  My favorite part of the day is there's PLENTY of free comics geared towards the whole family. So pack up the kids, the husband, or the wife and head out to the local comic shop!

I personally will be signing books at the all new Comic College in Minneapolis, MN! (12pm-4pm)

All New, you say? Where  did it move to, you ask? About 15 feet away from the old one!

Come get some free comics, buy some others, check out the HUGE all new store, AND come see me!

I'll be signing books, selling original art pages, The Con Exclusive variant to The ACTIVITY #4, and doing head/bust sketch commissions for a discounted $25 on 9x12 Bristol (I also have a number of Marvel sketch covers available if that's your thing). **I'll also be doing quick FREE little sketch cards for kids (while supplies last) in honor of FCBD!**

See you at the College!
