Enerjax at C2E2 2021

At C2E2 2021, I finally had a chance to talk to artist Enerjax, but the usual chaos of the convention did not allow me to interview her. Fortunately, in the Zoom age, I was able to finally get that introductory interview. That interview can be found at On the Beat With Enerjax.

Enerjax got her moniker by combining energy with Jackie, her given name. Not only is that a cool name, it accurately describes her. She has a lot of energy and it is expressed in her beautiful art work.

Despite being Chicago-based, I somehow never interviewed her. One good thing that has come out of this pandemic is the possibility of Zoom interviews. Zoom has opened up a lot fo posibilities. No instead of waiting another year for C2E2 to try to get that elusive interview with Enerjax, I was able to get it right from home. I still hope to get another update one from her at C2E2 2022.

This year, C2E2 2022 runs August 5-7. It's earlier than last year's December event, but still later than its usual February/March slot. Maybe they are trying to slowly get it back there. As long as there is a C2E2, the time of year doesn't matter to me. I'll be there and hopefully so will Enerjax!

On the Beat With Enerjax

I have seen artist Enerjax at comic cons, but I never had the opportunity to talk to her at length due to the usual chaos of those events. We chatted a bit at C2E2 2021 and I told her I wanted to interview her. Yesterday, I finally had the chance to interview her about her career and art. Our interview can be found at On the Beat With Enerjax.

Enerjax was born in Indiana, but currently resides in the Chicago area. She studied animation and Japanese in college. After college, she actually taught English in Japan. She draws her favorite characters, as well as creating her own.

At comic cons, with literally hundreds of artists displaying their work, it is not easy to stand out. Enerjax and her beautiful art stand out. This is why I wanted to interview her and fortunately she graciously agreed to give me some time via Zoom.

Enerjax talked about how she got started, making a career of art, her style, her favorite characters, and much more. It was such a fun introductory interview. Enerjax has a lot of positive energy (hence her name) and made it very easy. It was just like having a conversation with her.

After you watch the video interview, check out Enerjax on social media and also go to Enerjax.storenvy.com for more info. I hope to get an update interview with Enerjax in the future, either at a comic con or via Zoom. Maybe I'll see her at C2E2 2022, which runs August 5-7.

I encourage everyone to follow her on social media @enerjax. If you see her at a comic con, stop by and check out her art. You'll be as fascinated as I am.
