Baltimore Comic Con
October 10, 11, 2009
Location: Baltimore Convention Center

There are a TON of artists and publishers that will be attending so I won't bother to list them all but... Neal Adams and Joe Kubert were both announced as guests in the last week.

Sketch card artists (so far) include: Nicole Goff, Adam Hughes, Sherry Leak, Bill Meiggs, Dan Parsons,and Allison Sohn.

As far as non-sports go, there's usually a dealer there with older non-sports. I'll be there with Zeno's Comics and Derek Woywood and Ted A. will be set up as well.

Updated list of sketch card artists:

John Watkins Chow
Kate Glasheen
Nicole Goff
Adam Hughes
Sherry Leak
Bill Meiggs
Dan Parsons
Buddy Prince
Allison Sohn
Pop Mhan

I'm sure there are more, but it's a HUGE guest list and these are the only names that jump out at me. I know artists like Greg Horn and George Perez have done artwork that's been included in card sets, just not sure if they've done any sketch cards per se.

A couple of announcements were made yesterday.

1) There will be an original art auction on Saturday at 6pm (full details not available yet).

2) The first annual costume contest will be held on Sunday. Grand Prize is $1,000!!

Yup! Tony and I will be there with tons of great stuff - right between the DC booth and the artist tables - and we'll have a special guest of our own!

Wayne

I'll be set up at the show as well...I will be at the NEATSTUFF booth in the retail area ( booth #106, NOT artist alley )Stop on by!

Oooh, oooh, a tease!
Who's the guest! Anybody I know?

I hope it is a great show for all of you guys. I'm sad that I won't see you at Philly, and it is a shame that both shows are the same weekend.

Have fun!

Mike.

Just my luck as I was just in the Baltimore Convention Center a few weeks ago. Man, that place was huge!! Have fun to all that make it!!!

here are a few of the highlights from the con 3 Blair Smith sketch cards 1 Leak and 2 Goff Sketchs


Goff sketch she did for me inside her sketchbook


John Watkins-Chow sketch he did for me inside his sketchbook


as always scans dont do them justice
I think these are the first Blair Smith sketch cards he has done he had about 100 penciled i picked out the 3 i got and asked if he could color/paint them and i was talking to him he has done work on some comics and saw these sketchcards and thought they were a neat idea i told him all about this site so if/when he signs up show him some love he is a cool guy he has a website and DA page

I like the zombie and the cheerleader.

What a great show! Definitely the biggest selection of dealers and artists they've ever had. It'll take me a while to post all the photos, but here are the first few (most of the dealer photos were taken on Sunday before the show opened, which is why the racks look empty)

I ended up putting all of my photos in video mode and uploaded them to YouTube. It's much quicker than uploading and posting each photo. The link is below.
