I'm a Con Artist
Catch me if you can (at C2E2)
John Dudley is a con artist!
It’s true.
I’ll be in artist alley at the con.
Perhaps you have some questions? Like…
WHAT?
I’ll be peddling wares at the comic con later this month. More specifically, I’ll have a booth in artist alley at Chicago’s C2E2, where I’ll be splitting a table with Jon Westhoff / PTC.
Unfamiliar with Mr. Westhoff and his work at PTC?
I wrote quite a bit about them a few months back (check it out!).
WHERE is this happening?
C2E2 is Chicago’s (and the midwest’s) big boy comic con. It’s held at the McCormick Place Convention center. Follow the arrow below and you’re there:
Convention details here: https://www.c2e2.com
WHEN is this going down?
Saturday, March 28th & Sunday, March 29th.
Sadly I can’t make it for Friday the 27th. So just consider Friday a dress rehearsal if you’re attending all three days. Better yet, if you ARE there on the 27th, visit Jon Westhoff, and snag some PTC books!
WHY should you be excited?
Because I’ll have some rad comics at the booth. Most notably?
What is ‘BIG SHOULDERS’ you ask?
BIG SHOULDERS is a story about crossroads, and all those tales that pass through our most heightened realities. Tales of all flavors. Anything goes. In the land of Big Shoulders there be dragons, immortals, some rock and roll dreamers searching for a foothold in the music scene, video game moguls gamifying AI pixels against humanity, and most dramatic of all: a delicate spark of young love that may or may not take flame.
All this and more, crossing through the land of Big Shoulders at once.
And yeah, there may be a collision or two, genres cross-pollinating as they share the road…
As I mentioned, I’ll have the first issue of this crossroads adventure for sale at the con. But not just the ‘standard’ version featuring Scott Gray’s rad cover.…
Any WALKING DEAD fans in the house?
We’ll also have copies of BIG SHOUDLERS #1 featuring the limited edition cover by legendary artist Charlie Adlard!!!!!
That’s right . THAT Charlie Adlard.
Only 200 copies of this Charlie Adlard variant cover were printed. And only 200 will EVER be printed. And during C2E2, we’ll release more of them during C2E2 than ever!
This might realistically be your LAST opportunity to snag a copy of BIG SHOULDERS featuring the Adlard cover. So please keep an eye out for it at the con…
And even if you can’t make it to C2E2, I hope you’ll get on the BIG SHOULDERS guest list. Because…
We’ll soon be launching our Kickstarter campaign for the first TWO complete issues of Big Shoulders, featuring over 60 pages of crossroads comic booking!
Give it a gander here and put yourself on the guest list to learn more by hitting the ‘notify’ button:
More?
Sure!
We’ve also got swag like t-shirts and stickers. Heck, we’ve even got Doctor Who art prints from Big Shoulders artist (and Doctor Who writer!) Scott Gray.
Stop by the booth for all the fixins.
The booth setup’ll look something like this:
WHAT’S the deal with BIG SHOULDERS and Chicago?
In BIG SHOULDERS, crossroads adventures of all genres cross through one big town where anything goes. It’s a book about living your story among countless others crossing through.
And guess what?
That crossroads setting just so happens to be C2E2’s home city, the city of BIG SHOULDERS (aka ‘Chicago’). Scott and I couldn’t be more eager to bring the book to this sweet home and true crossroads city:
Here’s a little something Scott and I put together re: BIG SHOULDERS and its connections to the great city of Chicago…
I’m excited to meet some really real comics people at C2E2. It’s an opportunity to share the love for comics and meet folks we don’t get to see IRL nearly enough. I hope to see you all there, whether it’s this year or the next.
Good ol’ C2E2. There’s no better place to rev up the ol’ engines for getting back into the rad race that is…
Awesome!! I'm excited to see you at C2E2! Can't wait to get my copy of Big Shoulders. Following the campaign, too!
