Wizard World Chicago Comic Con, Photos

First things first:
It's gotta be either Wizard World or Chicago Comic Con; I'm tired of saying the whole thing.
Anyways...
Here's a few highlights from the weekend:


Not bad for a first time set-up, huh?


Our biggest lesson learned from the weekend: You can never have enough Harley Quinn. This was a popular painting and required seconds.


People loved these sketch cards. They were a hit with children and grown-ups, alike. The Hellboy and Mr. Miracle were stand-outs.


A generous Mr. Art Baltazar gifted me a drawing my favorite young JSA'er, Stargirl. Aw yeah!


This was my treasure of the weekend: The beginning of a sketch jam recreating this famous cover, done by contemporary artists doing contemporary versions of the characters. Go ahead, it's okay to be jealous.

Batman by Chris Burnham


And here are my favorite cosplayers of the Con. Parker has some troubles, huh?

I'd like to send some very special shout-outs to some cool people I met over the weekend.
Juan Carlos Baez took us under his wing and showed a couple of Con rookies the ropes. Amazing art.
Ted Woods, a fellow indie comic creator from Michigan, who was all too kind to us.
Steve Bryant and Jim Nelson, fellow 11 O'Clock forum buddies who provided some words of encouragement.
Thanks, guys.
