I had tabled at Zinefest in the past, but this year I opted to just attend and enjoy the show. And boy did I! This show was full of some awesome folks! Here’s some of what I saw:
The Great and Powerful Beth Hetland had her Hourly Comics minis available!
…
The always fantastic R. Hendricks (Stranger Two Stranger) had this awesome mini of portraits.
…
Ashley Elander was, as usual, putting the rest of us to shame by showcasing her phenomenal drawing skills.
…
I fell in love with this accordion mini compilation of text book illustrations from Kseniya Yarosh.
…
I was happy to catch up with the lovely Marnie Galloway, who had the new editions of In the Sounds and Seas.
…
Next to Marnie, I discovered a talented gentleman named Chris Garcia. He had previews of his upcoming beautiful first comic ever (!)
…
And the youngest and most enthusiastic exhibitor at the show had to be Henry Comerford! Super awesome one page comics!
…
All in all, Zinefest 2013 was a blast. I can’t wait to see more from all these folks. I really need to table here next year!
…
Here’s a preview of a new Simon comic I’m cooking up…
…
I thought I had posted this before, but I guess not:
…
I did this poster for the fine folks over at In This Issue Podcast. It just so happens I’ll be tabling with these goofballs at TRICON in 3 weeks!
…
Thanks for checking in ya’ll!

Thank you to everyone who came out to say hi. It was great to meet some new people and talk to some old friends. In case you missed the show, fear not, I’m going to be exhibiting again in two weeks at the Chicago Comic & Entertainment Expo (C2E2)! This con is in it’s 3rd year and has a lot to offer. It tends to lean more toward the capes, but you’ll find some great indy books represented too. This show is definitely worth the trip to Chicago! Here is the details:
You can find me at :
I’ll have some new stuff at this show, like the Cube Prints, along with Simon Collected and Gary 1-2 of course.
…
Speaking of Gary, I am hard at work on the 3rd (and final) book! I’m happy to report that things are progressing quickly!
…
…
Thanks to T for the pics! I can’t wait to show ya’ll more. Check back in next week, and I’ll discuss panel layouts and mention some comics you need to read.
