We are excited to announce the New York City Comic Art Expo 2018. The Expo will take place on Sunday May 6th in Manhattan at the historic Hotel Pennsylvania.  Initial interest is strong, we've already sold over 30 tables in our early direct notice. Additional tables are available at a rate of $200 each. If you are interested in a table feel free to reach out to Zaddick Longenbach (senbach@hotmail.com) or Terry Holtz (terry@freshlybakedcollectibles.com).

Wish them both the best of luck.

Im not a fan of bed bugs,NYC traffic,crowds etc or  a promoter that spams art expo on Caf and here and doesn't even have a link or mention of expo on his own site.

I guess he would rather post consignment art without pricing or art that has already been sold.

Either way good to see the hobby being promoted.

Honestly, I find it outrageous to have to pay $50+ to park in NYC, let alone get there or put up with the noise, etc. If this were a regular comicon, that's different. There is more to see and do. But for this stuff, I would rather have a smaller, less expensive, quieter environment. Maybe next year, it can be moved to a different Borough, or out of NYC entirely. 

But, good luck on your new venture. The more competition, the merrier.

Poor form to post another show info on their thread. I’ll attend both but why not just start another thread?

This Expo is already posted elsewhere on CGC forum. Poor form is to post multiple times on same forum,using CAF email search terms to promote expo etc.

Have fun at both shows. Hope you aren't staying at Hotel Penn.

I've been to a few of the Veteri/Gallo Comic Art Con shows, and it's definitely great. The new Hasbrouck Heights location is a little more a hassle for me to get to than the old Secaucus one. I guess that the old Secaucus hotel venue is closed or under renovation or something, but I do hope that show gets back to Seacaucus proper at some point. Anyway, I'm theoretically willing to give this new NYC expo a shot at least one time--assuming at least a few good dealers set up to exhibit. But I ain't gonna stay at Hotel Penn if I can avoid it.

Renovation.

Gosh is the hotel really that bad? I saw there were bed bugs in some rooms 7 years ago, but nothing like that now...?

Any objective advice?

See you at the show in NY Ankur.

It's a quick subway ride so it will the cheapest and easiest commute to any show in the Tri-State area for me.

I am also looking forward to meeting Ray Lago.  I've always loved his watercolors.  I believe he left the industry to become a full time art instructor so you do not see him on the regular convention circuit.

Cheers!

I used to enjoy talking to and commissioning Ray back in the 90s. I think that he is a great guy and he helped me out when Tony Salmons went awol on a commission for me. But Ray had his own commission issues at one time so beware of paying in advance for anything.

I've been there plenty of times for the Carbannaro Big Apple Shows and it's fine.

Vendor update: Lee Benaka & Paul Handler added

[Lee B.]

I believe I got a final table and will be sharing it with Paul Handler.  Paul will have a great variety of cool Marvel and DC art.  I'll have art from the Dave Hunt estate and will be selling signed copies of my book Dave Hunt: An Artist's Life, which by the way is now available on Amazon:

https://www.amazon.com/Dave-Hunt-Artists-Lee-Benaka/dp/1543928757/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1524420212&sr=8-1&keywords=benaka&dpID=51scU%2BCDA2L&preST=_SX258_BO1,204,203,200_QL70_&dpSrc=srch

You can also get a copy of the book directly from me via mail if you send me a PM. 

Thanks, Lee Benaka

And, if you like this sort of thing, there was a really good gyro vendor near the Hotel. 

[Pete Marino]

If you park in the city, use spothero.

 

You can find cheap parking just about anywhere
