WIZWORLD CHICAGO HIGHLIGHTS!

Whew!

The Wizard World Chicago show is finally over, and a grand time was had by all! I think...

The MOB RULE! group was on hand to sell and sign books, prints and original works. My friend and partner Gary Reed had many of his newly minted TransFuzion books on hand, like ST. GERMAINE and OF SCENES AND STORIES, and our little publishing venture seemed to cause quite a stir. You can read more about it here

Dashing Doug Klauba was selling his phenomenal Phantom prints, and pimped his gorgeous sketchbook titled THE DOUGLAS KLAUBA SKETCHBOOK which, if you think about it, is pretty appropriate.

John Siuntres of WordBalloon fame was there, sort of; seems its easier to go out and find celebs to interview than to wait for them to come to you; go figure.

Juan Arevalo sold prints of the sexy characters that are going to appear in his upcoming online webcomic.

Tony 'Madman' Maldonado also had prints on hand, as well as his funny/frightening sketchbook called CUCOS! which is Spanish for "lil scary monster things".

I was so busy playing mama hen to my MOB boys, I didn't have much of a chance to truly explore the convention, but I did get to see a number of old friends, and make a few new ones as well, some of whom will be making appearances in our newly (but unofficially) announced horror anthology.

I hope that, next year, we will have a lot more product to pimp, and the magic eightball says "YES"...
