Springcon is this weekend!

Springcon is coming up fast! The friendly folks at the Midwest Comic Book Association put on a heck of a fun show, do yourself a favor and check it out. This year they have over 225 guest creators… all of which are generously given free table space to join the fun.

I whipped up some graphics below using images from old comic books for folks to use to help promote Springcon… put them on your blog, social network or what have you to help get the word out… and link them here. See you at Springcon!

This morning I was sent a link to an huge quantity of interviews with exhibitors at last month’s delightful MIX convention by Fancy Pants Gangsters. You can check them out here.

That made me realize I don’t believe I have yet posted a link to Tom Spurgeon’s amazing and enormous MIX link roundup at the Comics Reporter. You can check that out here.

Get your mini-comics ready… only 23 months until the next MIX!

A number of Conspirators have donated some big artwork for the Rock Band show at Altered Esthetics this Friday. Proceeds go to support the gallery, which is a non-profit, a great place, and a fantastic collaborator to the Conspiracy. Hope to see you there!

More info here.

Conspirator Andy Singer has a show coming up this weekend of his Fruit Sticker Art… here’s the info:

I will be in a small show of Fruit Sticker Art at The West 7th Street Mississippi Market Coop From November 14th until December 14th. The show includes work by 3 artists– myself, Andrea McCormack and Richard Carlson. It’s a fun show, made entirely of fruit stickers.

Mississippi Market is located at–
1500 West 7th Street (near Otto)
Saint Paul, MN 55102
and is open daily from 8am until 9pm.

There will be a brief “buy-your-own-food” opening reception where you can meet and eat with the artists from 2-3pm, Sunday, November 14th.
Come eat some fruit!
