Recap: Free Comic Book Day 2016

This past Saturday, May 7, 2016 Curls Studio participated in Free Comic Book Day at the Amazing Comic Shop in Fairfax, Virginia. We were there from 10:30 AM until 5:45 PM. Thanks to everyone we met and thanks to the Amazing Comic Shop for hosting us — it was a fun day!


I always think that FCBD is the kickoff of summer — it happens the first Saturday of every May. The Kentucky Derby is also this day and there is usually a superhero movie opening that weekend as well — this year is Captain America: Civil War. 

Our next appearance will be Tidewater Comicon on May 21-22 at the Virginia Beach Convention Center followed by at Awesome Con on June 3-5 at the DC Convention Center. Hope to see you then. We’ll be updating the blog with information on what panels we’ll be on and our booth location in a map. Please check back here before the conventions for the latest news.

Join Curls Studio this Saturday, May 7, 2016 for Free Comic Book Day at The Amazing Comic Shop in University Mall near George Mason University in Fairfax, Virginia. We will be there when the store opens at 10:30AM and continuing until mid-afternoon.

We will have our original comic books for sale and I’ll be able to draw a sketch for you inside books if requested. We hope to meet you soon!

Free Comic Book Day is a single day when participating comic book specialty shops across North America and around the world give away comic books absolutely free to anyone who comes into their shops. Different shops have policies on how many free comics you can receive, but you will receive at least one free comic if you enter a participating shop location.

ABCs of Country Music Project

Launching the tail end of March and continuing through the month of April, I embarked on creating custom typography for letters A to Z in the alphabet. I decided to concentrate on representing country music artists visually with the first letter of their name — from Alan Jackson to Zac Brown Band — we have several music acts ranging through the generations from Uncle Dave Macon to Johnny Cash to Shania Twain to Kacey Musgraves!

My Instagram account was updated daily with a new letter and the hashtag #abcsofcountrymusic was used to document all the letters. This week I will be posting some of the alphabet sketches for Patreon supporters only, so please pledge to be able to see behind-the-scenes content for this project and other projects I’m working on.

I’ve even created a pattern for fabric, wallpaper, and gift wrap that you can get here.

I found out today that I’m being considered for an “Advertising / Product Illustration” Reuben Award from the National Cartoonists Society. The voting process is internal for current members of the NCS, so here is a shot of the password protected website. It is a honor to be considered among other talented illustrators.

It’s best in these situations not to get my hopes up because I have additional skills to achieve in my career before true celebration. I wish everyone who is nominated the best of luck! Thanks to NCS.
