Fun at Arkansas Art Pop Comic Expo

April 2, 2016

I spent last weekend in the nice little town of Jonesboro, Arkansas, for their second annual Art Pop Comic Expo.  It was again a great show experience, talking to many comic book fans, artists, and seeing friends from last year again.   I gave a panel on drawing digitally, and even helped MC and judge the costume contest!  

Here are two video clips + articles-- 1 from the local news about the show in general (and interview with co-promoter Jon Woodard), and one clip interviewing me (the videos were not "embeddable," so here are the links:
