Courtesy of Christine Stephan, we can take you on an Artists Alley walk at New York Comic Con, without the crowds that actually made the Alley a little difficult to traverse at times during the con, such was the appeal of comic art, though this was a happy problem to have.Here are 47 photos of[...]
Creators at one of the largest Artists Alleys will do commissions featuring characters they do not own, some with the blessing of publishers, some not, some will sell prints, some will sell other people's prints that they have coloured, some will sell other people's work as their own, and some will take money and disappear[...]
Carlos M. sends us this plaintive missive from Wizard World Chicago this weekend: Let me start off by saying, I love Wizard World Chicago. Been attending this show off and on since its prior incarnation when I was a kid. For a time, Wizard was the only show in Chicago. And with it, most recent […]

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[...]

But he is also someone who has also found himself the subject of Marvel's concerns. He writes on his deviantArt page, providing lots of […]
