KIDS COMIC CON 2014!

Thought I would share pics of this past weekend where I was hosting a drawing workshop at Kids ComiCon in the Bronx, NY. KIDS COMIC CON! 

I had a great time creating comics with the kids! 

There were some amazing young artists there!

 Here's a pic of me with my comic book artist team at KIDS COMIC CON! 

I was hosting a drawing workshop about creating comics in the Bronx, NY. These 3 girls where too cool and super excited about helping out! Thank you future artists!

Here's Denny Daniel and I at his Museum of Interesting Things!  His antiques and inventions are so much fun and educational!

Little Spiderman here (though I'm so sorry I didn't get a full pic with him!) Did the coolest ending to THE HALLOWEEN LEGION™ STORY! I love the AUTUMN WINS illustration, too cool! The Halloween Legion™ Diana Leto and Martin Powell.

These girls had some amazing imaginations and great illustrations for the ending to this My Little Pony comic! Too much fun!
