There is a certain pageantry that goes with a big comic convention, epic voiced announcer riling up the crowd at the start of the day, intermittent hall wide cheering as Stan Lee walks in, legendary duals and photo ops with fictional characters come to life. I've been to these before, I've seen it before but it's something different to be fixed within it; just watching it go.
The joy of watching countless people united by the collective freedom of letting their nerd flag fly for a few days!
Some photo highlights!

Two of the commissions I took on while at the show. Tons of fun to try and whip out something good on the spot.
I met so many awesome people last weekend, I still have a hard time believing that my work was eliciting such a positive reaction from people. Thank you so much for your support and kind words Chicago!
I also made many new art friends at the show, check out of their stuff at some of the links below:
