3 Rivers Comicon this weekend!

Hi everyone!

CanonWrite Productions, along with the amazing Kelci Crawford, will be appearing at 3 Rivers Comicon at the David L. Lawrence Convention Center in Downtown Pittsburgh this weekend! This is one of my favorite conventions in the region, and I'm very excited to be returning. I can't wait to see all of my Pittsburgh friends again!

Doors open on June 4th and 5th at 10 AM. Hope to see you there!

Small Press And Comics Expo - This Weekend!

Hi guys! SPACE is finally upon us! The CanonWrite Productions table will be at the Rhodes Center, and I'll be joined by Kelci Crawford!

In addition to some of our regular comics, such as Less Than Secret and The Letters of the Devil , Kelci and I will be doing some fundraising work! Please stop by the table to see what we have to offer. I'll also be presenting two panels at the event! The schedule is as follows:

Saturday @3:00PM: “Decrypting Less Than Secret: The Making of a Cryptid Comic Anthology”
Ever wonder what goes into the creation of a group anthology?  Join our panel of local creators as we discuss the process of organizing, writing, and drawing the cryptid comic anthology Less Than Secret!

Sunday @12:30PM:  CosPain Live Draw
Ever wondered how a webcomic gets made?  Join local cartoonist Ben Wright-Heuman as he works on a strip from his webcomic  CosPain  and answers questions from the audience!

Rock on, guys, and never drawing.

Free Comic Book Day at The Laughing Ogre!

This Saturday, I'll be at The Laughing Ogre all day along with Bob Corby for Free Comic Book Day! Bob is celebrating the release of Oh, Comics! #30: Cheese (which I did contribute to), and I'll be distributing free minicomic editions of several of the stories from Less Than Secret!

Planning on heading to a different FCBD event in Columbus? I've got you covered there, too! I spent this week distributing the minicomics all over town, so you should be able to find them there. One catch, though: the stores don't all have the same comics! Check my Twitter or Instagram to find out which stores have which stories.

Saturday Gaming Marathon in support of the itch.io Bundle for Ukraine!

The indie gaming platform itch.io is having a phenomenal game sale in order to raise funds for humanitarian efforts in Ukraine. In support of this, I've decided to stream a handful of games from the bundle this Saturday, March 12th, starting at 2 PM EST! There are a number of more well-known titles, but I specifically chose shorter games that I hadn't heard of before. It should be a wild time!

To watch the stream and participate in chat, visit the BWHComics Twitch Channel.

To buy the bundle, visit itch.io.

You can also donate directly to the International Medical Corps and/or the Voices of Children.

Ratha Con 2022

Con season's starting back up, and I'm pleased to announce that I'll be representing CanonWrite Productions at RathaCon! I've only had the pleasure of tabling at RathaCon once before, and I've been eager to return. It's a great show, and I'm really looking forward to it.

RathaCon will be held on April 9th, 2022, at the Athens Community Center. Hope to see you there!

New Game Stream Tonight at 7 EST: BWHComics Plays ONESHOT!

Tonight at 7 PM EST, I'll be starting a new let's-play series of the indie title OneShot! I know very little about this game on purpose, but it's supposed to be a good 'un (and possibly a weird 'un!).

To join the stream and participate in the chat, head over to my Twitch channel. Hope to see you there!

Ohayocon 22 Panel Schedule!

Hi guys!

Ohayocon is coming up this weekend, and I've had three panels approved! I'm excited to be returning to in-person events, and we're coming back with a bang! Here's the lineup:

FRIDAYWHODRAWNIT?! Mystery and the Comic Medium Ever wanted to learn how mystery comics are made? Then look no further! Join me for a discussion of the mystery comic medium and a demonstration of techniques for crafting a graphic whodunit or cozy of your own.

12:30 AM (technically Saturday) - Hayes (Panel 7)

SATURDAYCosPain Live Draw! Join me as I work on a strip from CosPain and answer questions from the audience!

8:30 PM - Taft C-D (Panel 3)

SUNDAYDecrypting Less Than Secret: The Making of a Cryptid Comic Anthology Join our panel of local creators as we discuss the process of organizing, writing, and drawing the cryptid comic anthology Less Than Secret!

10:00 AM - Taft C-D (Panel 3)



Beyond panel scheduling, there is one other relevant item I want to bring up. I do not officially have a table in the Artist Alley, but Ohayocon has an unusual policy this year: they've given me the opportunity to apply for a last-minute table in the event that anyone fails to show up to claim theirs. I could be notified at the very last minute of its availability. So fair warning, there's a chance I'll be announcing a table with very little notice (if I get very lucky)! Fingers crossed!

Rock on, guys, and never stop drawing.
