#artofmakingcomics

In May 2017 I was in Moscow involved in the international KomMissia comics Festival, and simultaneously I learned I was to receive the Glyph Lifetime Achievement Award, in Philadelphia. Since even I can't be in two places at once I made this video to send to the Glyph ceremony. With all that's happened since, this seemed a good time to remember @chrisryanwrites @sokoya_power @lizlivesart @stallworthdionne @jijennings70 @calreidny @blerd06 #ecbacc2018 #ecbacc2017 #kommissia #artofmakingcomics .#comics #sdcc2017 #comicartists (at New York, New York)

Nov. 2nd. Dinner with friends and comic and library pros, Anna and Alexander (yes we share the same name). Yes it's blurry, but so are my eyes on the eve of day one in Moscow. At that point I had been up for almost 24 hours, flown from New York to Russia, written in an hour and a half's worth of rush hour traffic, and given a presentation on Comics production and marketing. So I'm allowed to be blurred. But still had a great time. @2manychrisryans @lizlivesart @modeenbritt #comicsoverchaos #artofmakingcomics

Their intro to my panel to came with a major surprise for me. So now I'm pleased and chest-puffed proud to have  received the CCI Inkpot Award. Comic-Con International's Inkpot Awards are given to individuals for their contributions to the worlds of comics, science fiction/fantasy, film, television, animation, and fandom services. The complete list of Inkpot Award recipients includes the year they received their award.  #artofmakingcomics @lizlivesart @calreidny @mypalmark @abbygerdts @russiancomics @chrisryanwrites @mpellerito #archieandrews #scoobydoo #dc #blackart #blackheros #pulp @powersmithsa @nstevenharris @illmasterone @stampcat2 @calreidny @chrisryanwrites @lizlivesart @tcbstaros @urbantrixsta (at San Diego Convention Center)
