Hey guys! I will be a guest at this Saturday’s Charlotte Minicon, which will occur literally almost within sight of my house. I have been stressing lately about the various travel costs I’ll have to wrestle with to do the other cons I’m planning (TCAF, SPX, maybe Stumptown, APE), so having one I can wheel a little dolly to is pretty convenient. I mean, real luxury at a con is being able to walk home to use the bathroom if you need to.
ANYWAY. The show happens this Saturday from 11 to 5 pm, at The Palmer Building at Fireman’s Hall. I know that sounds confusing, but for you Charlotte residents it’s what used to be the fireman training facility at the corner of 7th Street and 5th Street, practically across the street from Lupie’s. The address is 2601 E. 7th St, Charlotte NC, 28204, so Google that shizz if you dare!
While I am gainfully employed by Heroes Aren’t Hard To Find (we put on the Minicon), this is the first time I’ve ever set up at a Heroes event as a cartoonist, so I’m kinda excited. I would be even more excited to see you guys come out and say hello. I’ll be selling stuff, comics, t-shirts, originals, all that. Even most excited to take your money, I assure you.
Also excited to see you will be my pards J. Chris Campbell and Rich Barrett, who I’ll be sitting somewhere near. Plus there are a bunch of other local superhero dudes, plus South American Francesco Francavilla, who is exactly as entertaining as his name sounds. Tons of info right here!
ALSO, for those of you wondering why my strip is late this week, I am working on it! I am coloring my 8-page strip from J. Chris’s Ancient Age book last year, and it is taking way longer than I thought (why is that always a surprise?). But: soon. For now, you can read it for free!
i.e. The Minicon art:
Is that what you will be wearing?
or is that a question for the Professor?
That is what I'm wearing right now, Andy.
Hey I am Italian! :P
Cute outfit there :)
See you in a few days, my friend :)
CHeers,
Francesco
What?? I didn't know that–I seriously always thought you were from Argentina or somewhere. IN FACT, I even thought "Francesco's Spanish accent sure is strange–maybe he's actually Brazilian?" Shows how cosmopolitan I am.
HA! Actually, based on the accent alone, I had some people thinking I was Russian ;) Italian, born and raised there, my friend (even if now I live here in US). Pizza, mandolino, e AMMORE! :)

Um, dude, I am about 150% less famous than you are for sure. Looking forward to this con. Will be awesome to see you in action at one of these.
What Rich needs is a blue hat; that will increase his popularity Harbin-fold.
Can't wait! I hope I'm over this sickness!
I would love to go to this, but I'm just too busy this weekend. Have a great time! I'd love to attend next year.
Rich we'd love to have you–why not just guest it up at HeroesCon this summer? Email if you're NAN ENOUGH
Did your blog die?
Huh?
