Upcoming Event with the Dollar Bin: Charlotte Minicon

On Saturday, January 22, you will find the Dollar Bin at the Charlotte Minicon in Charlotte, NC.  Held at the beautiful Palmer Building, the Minicon is a laid back way to kick off the 2011 convention season.  Admission is a bargain at just $3.    

Several past Dollar Bin guests will be making an appearance including Jason Latour, Chris Brunner, Rich Barrett, and Chrissie Zullo.  This Dollar Bin contributor hopes to talk to Jason, Chris, and newest Heroes staff member, Rico Renzi about their collaboration on Loose Ends for Twelve Gauge and to Chrissie about her beautiful Cinderella covers. 

Bridgit Scheide, creator of Kindle and Sketch Charlotte member, has yet to grace our show with her lovely presence, but this shall be remedied at the Minicon.  Bridgit is an artist you should get to know and we hope to be able to help you do just that. 

I don’t know much about Chris Stevens, special guest to the Minicon, other than his HeroesCon 2010 auction piece of Captain America was stunning.  The Minicon will be an opportunity to get to know more about the artist behind that gorgeous piece of work. 

Also appearing will be Dollar Bin contributor and monster fighter, J. Chris Campbell, former Heroes Creative Director and Diary Comics creator, Dustin Harbin, as well as other local favorites, Sanford Greene, Budd Root, and Andy Smith.

The Dollar Bin and Friends Heroes Con Art Auction Jam

You might remember our efforts in 2009 to donate to the fantastic art auction at Heroes Con. With such a great experience under our belts there was never any doubt we would make it a goal at Heroes Con 2010 to donate yet again. Last year we got 23 amazing artists to contribute to an incredible piece that is proudly displayed inside Planet Comics in Anderson, SC. As we started this year’s offering with just a blank sheet of paper on Kris Black’s huge clipboard I think we all wondered if we could top last year’s effort. Luckily for us, we have creative and talented friends that were more than up to the challenge of doing just that.
