One story that spilled out of San Diego Comic-Con last week is that an exhibitor at Artists Alley was asked by the show to pack up and leave, after it was reported that they were selling A.I images rather than hand-created art.

He then told Bleeding Cool, We really hope SDCC can find a way to continue to provide the artists in the Alley with the[...]

Panels were full and lively, and at least twice, once in a vendor section, and once in Artists Alley, things got too crowded to move briefly It was a great day rounding off a successful con with lots of publisher sales and fan interaction with creators. Here are over 100 shots of WonderCon on Day 3,[...]

Come and get original art, sketches, signatures or buy some hand crafted comics. Artist's Alley is a little separated from the rest of the comics content

But it's not intuitively obvious where Artists Alley is at NYCC this year  Which is a shame because it's big, bigger than other Alleys I've seen, with lots of space and great natural lighting Even ATM machines at the entrance, so you can never use the excuse that you haven't any more money on you. But[...]
