Scott Beaderstadt at Fan Expo

When Fan Expo took over Wizard World, comic con fans were a tad worried, but that fear has been squashed. Fan Expo is everything Wizard World was and more.

One of my favorite creators at Fan Expo is Scott Beaderstadt. Perhaps best known for his self-published TROLLORDS, he also has done work for Marvel, DC, Archie Comics, and the Thank You Walt Disney Foundation.

His beautiful artwork features vibrant colors capturing a variety of subjects from Prince to a toucan to Bona Lisa, a zombie version of the famous painting. He also does commissions, specializing in zombies.

It's always fun catching up with Scott, especially at Fan Expo Chicago in his hometown. He's another artist whose booth keeps me entranced for lengthy bits of time.

Fan Expo holds several events every year. The next one is February 17-19 in Portl;and, Oregon.

Scott Beaderstadt at C2E2 2021

How have I gone to comic cons for 15 years, yet never gotten a picture with creator Scott Beaderstadt? Fortunately, at C2E2 2021, I finally corrected that situation.

It really speaks of the craziness of comic cons. Artist Alley has hundreds of creators, including artists, authors and other talented folks. I try not to bother any when they are conducting business with other attendees. Sometimes, I don't have the opportunity to circle back enough times to catch an artist in a quiet moment.

Chicago area guy Beaderstadt has done work for Marvel, DC And Archie Comics. He might be best known for his self-published Trollords. Beaderstadt also creates his own art, as well as commissions. One of my favorite pieces of his is his Bona Lisa, but he has a lot of other cool stuff, too.

Now that I finally really met him, the next step is an interview. Hopefully, that will happen soon, possibly even at C2E2 2022.
