I hope to see you as we celebrate the preeminent showcase for the exhibition of independent comic books and the discovery of new creative talent at SPX. Please click the map above to locate us at Table A11. See you this weekend!
Join us this coming Thursday, September 12, 2013 at Artisphere (1101 Wilson Boulevard in Arlington, VA) in the Works in Progress Gallery. Carolyn Belefski and Joe Carabeo will be working LIVE on a large chalkboard and on paper from 6:30 PM to 9:30 PM (or maybe longer)!
In addition, on this day you can also be present for the opening reception of the Andy Warhol “Silver Clouds” exhibit, which is located at the gallery next door. The reception is from 7:30 PM to 10:30 PM.
Andy Warhol is Joe’s arch-nemesis, so in this case they will battle again at the same time, same place. Be there to see the showdown! Both events are free.

UPDATE (September 2, 2013)
I am invited to be on two panels at Baltimore Comic-Con.
Saturday, September 8 — Room 305 — 2:00 PM to 3:00 PM Self Publishing: You Can Do It
Featuring: Amy Chu, Jimmy Palmiotti, Danielle Corsetto, George O’Connor, Carolyn Belefski
Sunday, September 9 — Room 301 — 11:00 AM to Noon Team Cul de Sac
When Richard Thompson, the creator of the comic strip Cul de Sac, was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease, his friend Chris Sparks began a fundraising effort to honor his friend. With Richard’s support, he asked others to donate artwork featuring the Cul de Sac characters for a Team Cul de Sac book with proceeds going to the Michael J. Fox Foundation For Parkinson’s Research. The resulting book was nominated for four Harvey Awards. How did it do? Come to the panel and Chris Sparks and Mike Rhode will let you know! The fundraising continues as Joe Sutliff talks about the Drink and Draw event from this past Friday and Carolyn Belefski talks about the upcoming Moving Day Parkinson’s walk. Any other contributors are welcome to join in on stage. Plus, there will be fun things for sale!
