As always, I'll be there shaking more hands than a politician, signing just about whatever you put in front of me and looking at portfolios.

Also, as always, I'm not sure where my table is located but I'm sure to be listed on the program.

I'll have Darkstalkers and Street Fighter prints and posters, Buffy, New Avengers and Runaways stuff, copies of "The Other Side of the Mirror" and more!

See you there!

I'm unsure how these things get started but it most likely stems from a simple misunderstanding or misreading of some statement or other.

Now that that is settled, here is a larger image of my cover illustration for Retreat, the most recent Buffy Season 8 tpb, from none other than Jane Espenson.

Jo Chen will appear at Anime USA 2008, October 10 - 12 in Arlington, VA (i.e. Crystal City, VA).

Jo will be doing portfolio reviews, possibly a panel on comic book art and of course, she'll have plenty of signed art prints and comic books for sale including her new sketchbook Doodles From the Margin volume 3, The Other Side of the Mirror, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Runaways, Street Fighter, etc.  Or bring your own copies for her to sign.  Either way, it's all good. She even designed this year's T-Shirt!

Come one, come all to the Hyatt Regency in Crystal City.

Jo Chen will appear at Otakon 2008 as a special guest of UDON Comics, August 9 and 10.  The convention actually runs from August 8 thru 10 but Jo only has time for Saturday and Sunday appearances.

Jo will have plenty of signed art prints and comic books for sale including The Other Side of the Mirror, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Runaways, Street Fighter, etc.  Or bring your own copies for her to sign.  Either way, it's all good.

Look for Jo at the UDON Comics display/booth in the main covention hall or consult your convention program and map for the exact location.

Looking forward to seeing you there at the Baltimore Convention Center.  Be there or be square.

The folks of the Northern Virginia (NoVA) Browncoats chapter have invited me to attend the 'Can't Stop the Serenity' screening this Saturday, June 21 at 5:00 PM at the Arlington Cinema Draft House in (you guessed it) Arlington, VA. 

I myself will be there around 4:00 PM with pumpkin seeds in tow to meet and greet anybody who wants to say 'hello' or have any comic books or artwork signed.

I won't be able to stay for the entire screening as pumpkin seeds tend to be frightened of darkened theaters filled with pitchers of spud and raucous fans watching great science fiction, hootin' ana hollerin'.

For those living a uni-bomber existence and don't know, the screening and its proceeds are for the charity Equality Now whose mission is to "end violence and discrimination against women and girls around the world through the mobilization of public pressure."

To do my part, I'm attending and have donated a print of one of my 'Buffy the Vampire Slayer' cover paintings to auction off.  It's a 'Faith' cover and it's signed by me, Joss and Eliza D. who were way too cool to take the time in the middle of the Doll House production! Here is a facsimile of the signed piece.

Come one, come all.  See you there!
