Chicago Comic and Entertainment Expo returns April 11-13. As usual, I will be "On the Beat" all weekend meeting celebrities and creators of all sorts.
One staple stop in Artist Alley is at the Aw Yeah Comics booth. My pals Art Baltazar and Franco are there sharing their latest creations. They own the Aw Yeah Comics store right down the street from me in downtown Skokie, Illinois. They also have stores in New York and Indiana.
An art teacher based in New York, Franco Aureliani is also an award-winning author and artist behind several books, including some with Art and my other artist friend Sara Richard.
Franco is awesomely talented. I had him do his version of the Johngy character. Of the several talented folks who did their versions, Franco is the only one to add a mic and recorder. I just found that interesting. That design is now on a Johngy shirt (available at ProWrestlingTees.com) and also hanging on my wall at home.
Franco and me in Chicago, IL-March 2019.
