Boston Comic Con 2016 Wrap-Up

Hey everyone, I haven’t posted as much as I usually do, I seem to be more active on instagram more so than anything else. This past weekend was Boston Comic Con! This was my 6th consecutive year tabling in artist’s alley. Once again, I had a great time at the show, I got to table with my best buds, Joe Dax, Joel Lolar, Rian Miller and Brian Wiener.  This year Rian and I debuted “Skin Deep” #1. It sold fairly well, we are anxious to hear what people think!  I also debuted Return to Rander The Blood Isle #1. Didn’t sell as much as I wished, but got some returning fans to pick it up.  And of course, I was given the amazing opportunity to be in the Boston Comic Con Tick Issue with a short story I wrote and drew. On Saturday I shared the table signing copies with my buddy Ian Nichols who drew the cover. We did a few jam pieces on the boards of the comics that we sold for people. What a great experience meeting true tick fans with stories of their own about the tick!  I also got to meet some really great creators such as Daniel Warren Johnson, who was very nice and supporting. Ryan Bodenheim also was nice enough to give me the time to take time out of his weekend to have a few conversations about making comics including advice. Thanks Ryan! Knowing that Boston Comic Con is under new ownership,  I look foward to being a part of Boston Comic Con in the future in some form. Please check out the photos below!

Sunday in Rander • 109th Edition

A late Sunday this week. As many of you know Boston Comic Con 2015 happened this past weekend and it was my most successful and enjoyable con I have ever attended. This was the 5th year in a row that I tabled at Boston Comic Con.  I sold a lot of books to new and old readers, got a lot of good feedback, and sold some original art!  I was asked if there was a sequel coming out many times, and assured everyone that I am currently at work on it now. It’s a great feeling when people return to let you know that they enjoyed what they purchased from you.  Thanks again to everyone who took a shot at my book!  Another great thing that happened was having my “Tick” pinup in the Boston Con exclusive comic that came out over the weekend. NEC was kind enough to invite myself as well as Ian Nichols over to the booth for a signing of the issue.  We had fun drawing Tick and Arthur on a line of fan’s covers for them.  What a fun experience that was!  I always have fun tabling with my buddies Joe Dax, Joel Lolar, Rian Miller and B-wise. I also have lots of now friends amongst the creators at the show, John Y, Jennie Wood, Jim Wahl, Matt Bisette, Jim Ghallager, Ian Nichols, Joe Mederios. I also got a chance to take home some amazing artwork of Cable by a few friends, as well as Nate Bellegarde.  The 3 days went by way too fast, so until next year Boston Con…
