Kermit looks as tired as I feel at the start of day 4 of BayCon at the Santa Clara Marriott. Soon both of us will be ready to face the last day of this lovely sci-fi/fantasy book event to share my fantasy comic & handmade dragons. Stop by before 3pm to join in on the fun.

Sunday’s here at BayCon, in the Santa Clara Marriott. If you’re in the San Jose, CA area, stop on by BayCon’s Marketplace. Come see my Dragon Child comics & handmade dragons. If you’re a fan of urban fantasy or an excuse to befriend a dragon, you’re in the right place.

BayCon is here again, & we’re back in the vender hall at the Santa Clara Marriott! This show goes all the way through Monday, & our hall is open to the public without a badge, so stop on by and get something new to read. If you like modern fantasy comics & dragons, come say hi.

Ever wonder what the layout stage of comic making looks like? Now you know. Here’s my paneling for the first 15 pages of Dragon Child Issue 10. It’s a lot of stick figures & working out the basic backgrounds. The idea is adding just enough, but not enough to get bogged down.

Happy Father’s Day! If you are looking for some spooky fun, join me at the Sacramento Scottish Rite Center for Sinister Creature Con. If you wish dragons & other creatures of myth were real, you’ll love my comic, Dragon Child. I have a new set of coloring pages, so take a look!

[Katie Shaw @DragonChildKS]

It’s time for Sinister Creature Con! If you’re in the Sacramento area, join us at the Scottish Rite Center for summer spooky fun. Come say hi, check out my Dragon Child comic, & adopt a handmade dragon. If you wish mythical creatures were real, you’ll love Dragon Child.

My maternal grandfather, Poppa, was the head of a CA apple juice company you may be familiar with. He dabbled in comics when he was young, and always was a great supporter of my comics. Thank you both for all the memories, and I hope these pages would make you smile.

[Katie Shaw @DragonChildKS]

If you know me, you know why these 2 coloring pages are special. The dragons playing cards, specifically whist, is in honor of my paternal grandpa, who loved playing whist & hearts with his family. The games commonly got heated, & were a staple of summer vacation with the Shaws.

Happy Mother’s Day! Enjoy a festive coloring page for the day. We’re back for day 2 of Lodi Comic Con at the Grape Festival Grounds. I would love to introduce my fantasy comic book series, Dragon Child, & handmade dragons to you.

I drew a fun commissioned sketch today of Elvis from his movie, Change of Habit. The twist was he had to be drawn as an anime character, and she loved it!

Having fun inking new Dragon Child character coloring pages. The goal is to get to 100 pages, which I will have bound in a book. Which of these new pages is your favorite?

The last Mini-Volume 1 sold, along with 2 and 3! I reorganized the table a bit, and every single trade paperback I have left at LVLUP is now on display. Crazy!

Apparently I need to add another box for more comics. Here’s to an amazing final day in Las Vegas, NV. Thank you to everyone who purchased Dragon Child comics this weekend. As an indie comics cartoonist, I’m so thankful for such a successful event. Let’s sell more comics!

#LVLUP

[Katie Shaw @DragonChildKS]

We’ve made it to Sunday at LVLUP Expo, and I am almost out of my whole line of trade volumes. Looks like I might be down to just issues in a bit. If you’re the lucky person to buy the last Mini-Volume 1, it really is the last one I brought with me. 1/2

… to replace the one that got kicked out (due to blatant AI art). Support real art made by real people! 2/2
