2 RIVERS COMIC CON

Be sure to join us this weekend at 2 Rivers Comic Con, a fan-focused, family-friendly convention set in the historic charm of St. Charles, Missouri.

Unlike larger, more generalized pop culture conventions, 2 Rivers Comic Con puts creators front and center. It’s a celebration of the artists and storytellers behind the stories you love, featuring an incredible lineup of legendary comic book writers, artists, and voice actors. Whether you’re looking to get books signed, pick up original art, or commission a custom piece, this event offers a rare chance to connect directly with industry talent.

I’ll be there all weekend selling and signing books and prints, so be sure to stop by and say hello. I’ll also be giving a talk on Sunday, April 26 at noon, moderated by Logan Janis, would love to see you there.

The convention runs April 25–26, 2026, and will take place at The Steel Shop (49 Lawrence Street) in the Frenchtown area of St. Charles. This year, all activities are conveniently located under one roof, making it easier than ever to explore everything the event has to offer.

Admission is affordable and family-friendly:

• Adults: $20 for a single-day pass or $35 for the full weekend

• Kids: $10 for a single day or $15 for the weekend

Whether you’re a longtime collector or just discovering the world of comics, 2 Rivers Comic Con is a great place to dive in, meet creators, and celebrate the art form.

CITY HALL EXHIBITION EXTENDED

My original work Fragments, is currently on display in the first annual Arkansas Art for City Hall exhibition at Fayetteville City Hall. I was recently informed that the piece will remain on view through October 2026. If you're downtown near the Fayetteville Square, be sure to stop by and check out the exhibit.

The imagery in Fragments was inspired by a visit to the Pompidou Museum in Paris, France, and by a storefront window display I encountered on Via del Corso in Rome.

Exhibition Runs Through 10/26 • Fayetteville City Hall • 113 W Mountain St • Fayetteville, AR
