*Small Press Expo – SPX

This weekend is SPX  in North Bethesda, MD.

“The annual SPX comics and graphic arts festival presents the best and brightest established creators in independent comics. In addition to the opportunity for public exposure and potential revenue the festival provides to attending artists, the event also allows less established to network with publishers and prominent creators, providing unique opportunities for the comic artist/writer that is just starting out.”

I heard so many amazing stories about this annual convention and I hope to make it out there one day. In the meantime I can live vivaciously through your blog posts, tumblr posts, twitter feed, and pictures. Yeah Pics or It didn’t happen 🙂

Thank you for reading, back to making comics.
