Washington DC! I’ll be on two panels this year at Awesome Con. 

On Saturday June 17th @ 12:30PM I’ll sit with Arsia Rozegar and Carolyn Belefski to talk about my experiences with Kickstarter, primarily with my recent project THE LITTLE PARTICLE THAT COULD. This board book about particle physics (written by me, illustrated by Noel Tuazon, colored by Rob Croonenborghs, lettered by Jason Hanley, and with a cover by Dylan Todd) was originally asking for $4.5k and went on to raise $11.5k. I’ll be talking a lot about the marketing I put into the project, scaling to well above my expectation, and fulfilling rewards, I’m sure.

And then at 3:30PM on Saturday I’ll be moderating a panel on using comics to tell the history of DC. I did a short on the 1865 Washington Nationals for DISTRICT COMICS, but mainly I’m gonna sit back and let editor of DISTRICT COMICS and reDISTRICTED, Matt Dembicki, talk about his projects along with Jane Freundel Levey, managing editor of Washington History and consulting curator for the new George Washington University Museum, Rick Rosendall, immediate past president of the Gay and Lesbian Activists Alliance of Washington, and Mary Ann Zehr, English teacher at the Francis L. Cardozo Education Campus

If you’re around, come on by! I won’t have a table at the show this year but I will have some copies of THE LITTLE PARTICLE THAT COULD and COLONIAL COMICS with me if you want to buy some, guerrilla style.
