NYC Comic Art Con/Expo 2 2

@gumbydarnit

The NY Comic Art Expo is still scheduled for Saturday May 2, 2020.

Nick Katradis and I, (Animated Ink), are going to be set up at the show.  

With Valentine's Day coinciding with the long weekend from President's Day, I would give Zaddick an extra day or so to respond back to you.

If you do end up attending the show, please stop by and introduce yourself.  It is always great to meet fellow CGC board members in person.

All the best.

Cheers!

N.

That is great to know, I already have a flight booked. I definitely will introduce myself, meeting the guys in the hobby is just about the best part of the cons.

I'll be the guy in the green foam Gumby suit... it is a cosplay c-list movie star show right?

cosplay

There was a group that showed up in costume at the first one, probably thinking it was a Big Apple show. All the art collectors were looking at them like they were nuts. And then they started walking the room looking at prices... and thinking we were all nuts!

Pretty interesting to see how many people here seem to live so close by each other. You have the Chicago group, California people, and the East coasters who live NYC or Bergen county.

And then some of us are in flyover land. See you at Dragon Con 2020!

There's also the Museum of Comic and Cartoon Art festival on the west side of NYC April 4-5 - it's not exclusively art but tons of artists go  https://www.societyillustrators.org/mocca-arts-festival

My wife and I visited that museum when we were in NYC a few years ago. I have pictures... somewhere.

I'd like to go sometime - it's been absorbed by the Society of Illustrators and they don't always have comic art on exhibit, but I look forward to visiting sometime.

Sold a Pep Comics slab a couple weeks back on here, was sooo much easier to just drop off in person.

There's a decent chance I can make it to this show if it's May 2.

Does anyone know the status of the NJ art con next week, or the upcoming NY con? I just saw the Big Apple con was cancelled.

Postponed until this virus settles down.

So does a lot of art change hands or more just a great time to get together with other collectors

I'm gonna take a wild guess and say you live at/near Rockland County.

I vote for Moraga, CA.

No way, I grew up mostly in Orinda.

No surprise.

NYS had just imposed a maximum event occupancy at 500 persons.

NJ followed up with a 250 person maximum occupancy limit.

Carbo's Big Apple show average daily attendance was probably close to 1000 persons per day.

The NJ art show is well under 250 persons but I'm sure some of the exhibitors were a bit hesitant to set up so postponing or cancelling the show is the best thing to do in this environment.  Joe V made the right decision.

The NY show is further out so Zaddick and Terry have time to make a decision.

Zaddick is having issues with his CGC account so he asked if I could post this message on his behalf regarding the NY Comic Art Expo.

From Zaddick:

Just like every gathering in New York City and many other places, the 3rd annual NYC Comic Art Expo scheduled for May 2nd has been canceled. 

Please stay safe and the NYC Comic Art Expo will be back.  

Zaddick and Terry
