Arrow at the Louisvile Kentucky Comic Con



Wizard World Louisville Kentucky Comic Con


The Louisville Comic Con started off with a bang. There was an incredible lineup of stars  scheduled for the show.
Bruce Campbell, “Ash,”'Arrow' Stars Stephen Amell, Katie Cassidy, David Ramsey, John Barrowman, Paul Blackthorne and Willa Holland To Attend Wizard World Comic Con Louisville
David Was a very cool guy in person. He worked  the  room and was very pleasant to all of the artist's who where in Artist Alley. I thought he did a great job making everyone feel important to him.

J. August was an incredibly nice person! He came over and spoke with me as I showed him a wire sculpture I  created based on his character in Marvel Agents of Shield. He even signed the sculpture for me. I thought that was an amazing thing he did. I really appreciate that. I am a fan of the show and I have a new appreciation for him as an actor and as a person.
This is the wire sculpture I created based on his character.

Jason David Frank was walking by and he saw my wire art work and he came over to ask if there were any wire sculptures of the Green Power Ranger. I told him I had made one of his character and he said I gotta see it. I took it down and he took out a sharpie and signed it on the spot. The funny thing is that I only made one Green Power Ranger wire sculpture and it is the one that is signed by the Jason David Frank himself. I was amazed.
 
I was standing at my booth and I looked up and saw Stephen Amell walking by. I asked him if he would take a picture holding my wire sculpture of Arrow and he did something I didn't expect. He signed the sculpture and took a few pictures with me. I was floored because he didn't have to do that. He was a really nice guy and now I have a wire sculpture that is signed by the star Of the hit TV series. I was totally stoked!
Bruce Cambell came by to see one of the artists next to me and I had to snap a picture of him. He was dressed for a night out on the town and he was a very nice guy for a Hollywood movie star.
Ken Kelly the artist who drew many of the album covers for Kiss and a signature artist for the Conan the Barbarian comic book series, was at the comic con. He was in my section signing his pictures and meeting all of his fans. I asked him if he would sign my wire sculpture of Conan the Barbarian.




 He said he would now I have my very own signed Conan wire sculpture by one of the most iconic men in art. I know I grew up reading Conan the Barbarian as a kid and I respect his talent and his amazing ability to create artwork. Oh yeah he is a former Marine so to me that was the icing on the cake..










There were a lot of Cos Players at the show. As  they came by I took a few pictures of the ones that I thought were very good.
This was a guy who was cos-playing as the guy from the Howling.  I thought he was a great example of someone who took time to look really good.
This was a guy who was dressed as the creature from Jeepers Creepers. He was about 9 feet tall. I got the creeps just standing there for the picture.


Fire Storm showed up at the con. I thought this was cool because I had never seen anyone cos-play as this character.

















 
This guy was dressed as Bumble Bee and he represented well. I had him pose with my wire sculpture of Bumble Bee.
 

Deathstroke the Terminator
Shrek and his bride

 
Silent Hill



The Wizard World  Louisville Kentucky Comic Con was a fun event. I was amazed at the cast of Arrow and all of the other Stars that showed up. They were all very kind and they showed interest in the Artist's on Artist alley. That made my day especially when they started signing my artwork. The Fans were all very excited and they came out in the thousands. I can't tell you how many people came out but I can tell you there was a large sized group of people and they were all excited to be there. I will be at the Dayton Ohio Christmas show in December.
