MoCCA Art Festival 2008

Posted in News and Reviews - June 6th, 2008 12:26 pm

I’m going to be exhibiting at the MoCCA Art Festival this weekend for the 6th year in a row. I’ve been at MoCCA every year since it’s inception and it remains my favorite show to this day.

I’ll be selling copies of my latest book, PICTURES OF YOU, which was written by myself and drawn by series co-creator Tatiana Gill. PICTURES OF YOU is the second book in a three book series that we’ve been calling the “Cure Trilogy” I’ll also have copies of some of my other recent books like A STRANGE DAY, THE WHITE ELEPHANT, and TEMPORARY.

The show runs Saturday, June 7 - Sunday, June 8 from 11am-6pm each day. I will be setup at table A45 in the “big room” alongside my good friend Pete Stathis who will be selling copies of his EVENFALL series, which he has recently been streaming online at his website.

NINJA CONVENTION is Damon Hurd's personal blog. A journal about mostly comics and other tangential subjects I feel like discussing with occasional interludes into the trivialities of daily life. But like I said, it's mostly about comics.
