Fantom Comics says:

Our favorite time of year is finally here: Fantom KidsCon! We had a blast last year, and we’re hoping to make this year’s con even bigger and better than before!

Comics conventions are fun for all ages, but if your littlest nerds aren’t ready for the hustle and bustle of bigger venues, bring them to Fantom for a day of fun and activities!

We’ll have tons of workshops, kid-friendly vendors, a costume parade, and lots of “super” special guests!

We can’t wait to see you there!

Recap: MoCCA Arts Festival 2017

Curls Studio is back from New York and had a blast exhibiting at MoCCA Art Festival this past weekend! It was our first time at the show and we had a great time meeting new people and exploring the city.

On Saturday I didn’t get out from behind the table to see much of the show, but on Sunday I was able to walk around and view both floors of the show. Some highlights included meeting a polish creator named Wojciech Stefaniec at the Europe Comics table and meeting Arnold Roth at the National Cartoonists Society table.

It was overwhelming to see a lot of talented creators all in one location! I was really excited to experience some interesting folding techniques and inventive pop-up books too.


Curls Studio premiered new products including the Curls Punk Rocker Sticker and Curls Loves Pizza Square Button (available for purchase at the store here). We also had our new book, French Fry Club!

We were able to explore New York City a bit and visit the Metropolitan Museum of Art as an extra benefit while in the city.

Thanks to everyone we met at the show as well as the volunteers and show organizers at the Society of Illustrators.

Our next show is KidsCon this coming Saturday from Noon to 4PM at Fantom Comics in Washington, DC.

Curls Studio will be invading the Big Apple next month for MoCCA Arts Festival — Table I 264A on the second floor. This is our first time exhibiting at MoCCA, so it will be exciting and fresh — like a crisp bite of apple! 🍎

MoCCA will take place April 1 and 2 from 11:00AM to 6:00PM at the luxurious and modern Metropolitan West located on West 46th Street in New York City between 11th and 12th Avenues and will encompass two floors of exhibitor tables, a gallery of original art showcasing the work of special guests, and pop-up cafés throughout the space. Price of admission is only $5 per day and will grant attendees access to the Fest including the exhibitors hall, on-site gallery space, and programming. Tickets will be available for purchase at the door. Children under age ten are free.

The official image for this event is above, created by Becky Cloonan — a guest of honor at the show, along with Blutch, Cliff Chiang, Drew Friedman, David Lloyd, and Gene Luen Yang.

The MoCCA Arts Festival is a two-day multimedia event — Manhattan’s largest independent comics, cartoon, and animation festival with exhibiting artists displaying their work, award-winning honorees speaking about their careers and artistic processes, workshops, lectures, and film screenings.

All exhibitors who got accepted are listed online at www.societyillustrators.org/exhibitors-list.

The Washington Wizards Collecti-Con was an interesting event even though the Wizards lost this past Sunday. Curls Studio was glad to be a part of their inaugural Collecti-Con.

I got to meet Slapshot, the Washington Capitals hockey team mascot, who was at the game to celebrate G-Wiz’s birthday along with many other team mascots. Thanks to everyone we saw at the convention and game.

Be on the prowl for new convention announcements coming soon!
