2025 Con Season's a Wrap

Oh, the places I Went

-Phew!- What a busy convention season it’s been. Just wanted to make a post to list the all the shows I’ve been to this year, promoting my new book Screw Comics! 5.

So let’s see….the books came in and the first stop on the tour was Kimo Kawaii Conroe.

This is an anime convention put on by a friend so I even designed a limited edition tee that’s only sold at my booth.

After the show, the promoter bought out the rest of the stock. Gotta go next year, they’ll have them for sale!

Here’s the detail of the shirt.

Inspired by the first time I did this show, I literally saw this walk by my table.

Next, my wife and I hightailed it to Dallas for the Texas Latino Comic Con, a one-day show that features comic creators with Latino backgrounds.

At the end of the summer I managed to squeeze into Eastern Rim Comic Con, a very comic-centric show in Baytown.

They had in the vendors room, it was very chilly. Good thing I brought my flannel.

A month or so later, I headed out to Austin for MexAmericon. Like TX LatinoCC, it’s a one-day con with an emphasis on Latino creators. Plus the show coincides with Dia de los Muertos festivities so you have a lot of people flowing through, many of which may not know about comics or see too much original art presented by the artists who make it. It’s just great talking to people without any preconceived notions of comics and the comic industry; they’re open to new stories and intrigued by the different art styles. Always a very good show.

The next day I headed back to Houston for Comic Indie Con. It always packs so much incredible local talent. Here’s an interview I did ahead of the show!

And soon after, I headed out to San Antonio for Comic Arts San Antonio, or CASA.

As with MexAmericon I got to bring my dad along for the ride! He’s aware of what I do but this year is the first time he’s witnessed me first-hand “working”. He also got a kick out of both shows; every time I turned him loose he would come back with art, comics, or t-shirts to take home. CASA was also a lotta fun cuz I was in close proximity to my friends in the Houston Comics Scene.

Plans for 2026 are in the works! So far the Houston Comics Scene and I are planning a Comicpalooza take-over: a big collaborative space with experimental new display techniques. More info to come as we sign off on the applications.

Well, thanks for sitting through my tour walk-through. That’s why I’m running it down, so I can internalize this year and be thankful for my new fans, followers and patrons who I’ve met over the last six months. And extra big thanks to my existing fans, friends and family as y’all are still here and continue to support me. As a token of that gratitude use the code word TARIFFS in my store to take 30% off of the comics. Christmas is coming so buy them some unique books and stickers! Or if you haven’t yet picked up the new book, treat yo’self!

use code TARIFFS for 30% off all comics. It’s good til the end of the year.
