We hope you can join us April 26-29, 2019 for the seventh edition of Awesome Con at the DC Convention Center. Curls Studio will be located at table R12 in Artist Alley all three days. View the map above where the purple pulse signal circles are so you’ll know where to find us.
So here’s the deals. Yes, I wrote DEALS (plural): Get the new Curls book (convention exclusive), one print, one button, and a sticker for $10 buckaroos. Thanks for all your support — our fans are AWESOME.
In addition to exhibiting, we have a few panels and workshops we’ll be taking part in — plus Joe is producing the Awesome Con Film Festival, which is in it’s third year. Check out all the details below:
Create Your Own Superhero Symbol with Carolyn Belefski
Sunday | 2:00-2:45PM | Kids Stage
The Other Side of the Table: Lessons from Creators
Sunday | 3:30-4:15PM | Room 149
Are you a creator considering exhibiting at Artist Alley or Small Press comic conventions? This panel will give you tips and suggestions on how to create your professional appearances from the POV of being behind the table. We will discuss the metamorphosis from attendee to exhibitor, effective table display design, how to talk and interact with people at your table, and how to generate sales with your table pitch. We will highlight the process of starting a comic book tour on a low budget and methods of attracting potential readers by promoting your appearances and will take questions and comments, as this will be a conversation on multiple subjects regarding how to build rewarding convention appearances from the ground up.
Panelists: Laura Lee Gulledge, Mark Mariano, Carolyn Belefski
Moderator: Joe Carabeo
