Okay, so starting tomorrow, my 5th Season for 2012 starts!
What's my '5th Season'? It's what I call the various Dia de Los Muertos events that I'll be exhibiting at this year. With a comic book character like EL MUERTO, and my brand new DEAD DINOSAURIO, I'm able to get completely unique outlets for my comics in addition to the comic conventions and other events I do all year!
Sunday, October 14: I'll be at the Nuvein Foundation booth at the Uptown Whittier Dia de Los Muertos Art & Music Festival. Since our booth is a non-profit site, I won't be selling anything, but I will be doing free sketches for kids. I'll be there from 10am-2pm.
Saturday, October 27: Come visit me at the Nuvein Foundation Dia De Los Muertos Festival in El Monte. It' the 3rd annual one we've put on, and it's getting bigger each time. I'm one of the Foundation Directors, and I also designed the poster, but don't let that stop you! We'll have vendors, lots of entertainment with singers, musicians, poets and dancers, as well as an art show. It's the City of El Monte's Centennial Celebration this year, so it's great to be a part of the celebrations. I'll have a booth with all my comics, DVD and lots of other art I've created. The event is free to attend, so bring your friends and family.
Sunday, October 28: Really excited to be participating in my first MUERTOMANIA event! Organized by Solidarity Ink, a print shop and gallery located in Los Angeles. This event boasts an art show, vendors and, get this, live wrestling featuring local luchadores! Calacas and wrestlers... Ya can't beat that! This all-ages promises to go for the gold. Come on down and visit me for some special exclusives made just for this event! Watcha' gonna do when MUERTOMANIA 2 runs wild on you?!
As if all these cultural festivals weren't enough, I'll even be able to squeeze in one last comic book convention for the year:
Saturday & Sunday, November 3 & 4: Since this falls on the weekend of Day of the Dead (November 2) this ties in perfectly with my previous appearances. They even call this show the 'Long Beach Horror and Comic Con'. I'll be sharing a booth, #1400, with cartoonist Ted Seko. Hopefully I'll have merchandise left over from the other events! I'll post more details about this event as we get closer.
Comics and Cultura, my 5th Season! Hope to see you at a few of these events.
This Saturday and Sunday, I'll be at two Day of the Dead events in good ol' Whittier, Ca! When you're the creator of a comic book character called El Muerto, and you live in Whittier, these are 100% 'No brainers'!
On Saturday, October 23, I'll be attending the first ever Dia de Los Muertos event at Rose Hills Memorial Park & Mortuary:
Rose Hills is the largest memorial park in the world, and as this is their inaugural Dia de Los Muertos, I'm glad to be participating. Having grown up around the Rose Hills area, it's very interesting for me to be able to exhibit there, as it'll have a very 'neighborly' feel to it! I'll be signing at the Luna Sol Books table from 1:30pm to 2:30pm, hosted by my friend Janelle Gonzalez.
On Sunday, October 24, I'll be exhibiting at the Uptown Whittier Dia de Los Muertos event. I'll be there for pretty much the whole event, from 11am-5pm. I'll be located in front of GEEKS Comics, at 6747 Greenleaf Ave, Ste A, Whittier, CA 90601.
It's always a treat to be able to attend events in my hometown. Saves wear and tear on the vehicle and keeps fuel costs down! I actually invited all the kids in my local workshops to attend, so let's see if 'teacher' can draw them in (maybe they can get extra credit for buying some books!).
