Fantasticon Lansing: See Me This Weekend 4/29 – 4/30
See me in Lansing this weekend. Image via Fantasticon website.
[dc]I[/dc] love local comic shows and similar events, like this weekend’s Fantasticon here in Lansing. I will pretty much go to any local show, if I can fit it into my schedule.
The perks of local shows are obvious: I don’t need a hotel and the driving is minimal (maybe 20 minutes instead of hours). This works out to a lot of savings, as attending large shows is one of my biggest costs (in some cases, hundreds of dollars for a single show).
Sure, I might not sell as much at a smaller, local show, but the expenses are lower (and there’s no travel stress). It’s a trade-off. Appearing at a local show tends to give me a home court advantage too (friends stop by, etc.).
Come see me at Fantasticon in Lansing this weekend!
When is Fantasticon?
Fantasticon is 10 AM – 6 PM Saturday, April 29 and 10 AM – 5 PM Sunday, April 30 2017.
Where Is Fantasticon?
Causeway Bay Hotel & Convention Center, 6820 South Cedar Street, Lansing, Michigan 48911
How Much Are Fantasticon Tickets?
Two-day advance tickets are $12.50 for both days. Day of tickets are $12 for Saturday and $8 for Sunday. Kids 5 & under are free. You can buy tickets online.
What Am I Selling?
- Prints: I’ll have two new cartoon prints, like Mecha Kitty, along with fresh copies of old favorites.
- Stickers: My usual collection of stickers, with a few new Foxes & Boxes designs thrown in.
- Buttons: I ordered a fresh batch of buttons from Pinback Buttons, featuring Foxes & Boxes logos and some cartoon art.
- Comics: My Foxes & Boxes mini-comic (collecting the first three pages), in color. I also have copies of my Hourly Comics collection from last year (which are comics you cannot read online).
- Coloring Books: A few remaining copies of my 2016 coloring book (I did not make a new one this year).
- Commissions: I’m selling cartoon commissions and Random Cartoon commissions.
If you are in Lansing, or don’t mind a road trip, please come see me and the other artists this Saturday and Sunday! The other perk to a smaller show is you, as a guest, can easily see everything thing. Big shows have a lot to offer, but they are exhausting. (On a related note, I miss walking around comic cons as a guest. Maybe I should just attend one as a Normal soon.)
