Curls Webcomic: Every Monday and ThursdayThis past Saturday was the ANS Sci-Fi & Comic Con. Thanks to all who came. I’ll be posting a recap and photos soon.
Are you all ready for the Brood II Cicadas? I saw them today after 17 years! This should be a really fun summer with them — I’m a fan — of them and The Exoskeletons.
XOXO,
Carolyn
Last Saturday, May 11 was Curls Studio’s first appearance at ANS Sci-Fi & Comic Con, now in its second year. We were stationed next to Frank Cho, which was an honor because we enjoy his Liberty Meadows work very much.
The best thing about this convention was meeting new people and other creators. Joe and I took part in a “Making Comics” panel with Liz & Jimmy Reed, Leanne & Rod Hannah, Sarah Hoppes, and Chris Rizzo. The location was a classroom setting, but the conversation quickly because informal.
After the convention we got to spend some quality time with our pal, Adam. We also loved the fact that Frank Cho was the guest of honor at a Catholic school.
Thanks to Tom for organizing the show and supporting Magic Bullet by placing an ad in Magic Bullet #6.
