Chicago Comic and Entertainment Expo returns April 11-13. I will be "On the Beat" as usual all weekend meeting celebrities and creators.
As I wrote a couple days ago, one of my favorite stops in Artist Alley is the Aw Yeah Comics booth. Art Baltazar is the other creative genius who owns Aw Yeah.
Art is a funny guy, besides being massively talented. One of his goals is to manage a wrestle one time at some show. We're working on that one. Art would be great in that role.
One of my goals is to have Art do his version of the Johngy character. He is so busy though, I hate to bother him in his limited free time. Some day, it'll happen...I hope.
Aw Yeah Comics is about three blocks away from me in downtown Skokie, Illinois. It's one of three stores they own, along with ones on Indiana and New York. It's a modern throwback. That sounds like an oxymoron, but it is just that. It has that old school comic store feel, with new cool twists. There are bigger comics stores, but none are cooler and that goes right back to Art and Franco.
I look forward to catching up with this dynamic duo and to see their latest creations. It is always a fun time.
For more info on Art, go to AwYeahComics.com and if you live around one, be sure to visit it. Also, go to C2E2.com for more info and scheduling on C2E2.
