Ink-Fusion at C2E2
C2E2 is the "Chicago Comic and Entertainment Expo", but have you ever asked why we chose this name for New York Comic Con's spin-off? Sure, it sounds like R2D2, but there's more to the name than it making us think of a droid. Marvel, DC, Image, and all our friends from the comic book world will be at the show -- as will a pantheon of comics guests -- but C2E2 will be presenting something more, too. We very firmly want to celebrate the larger world of popular culture and the graphic arts. You'll be hearing news as to what this means in more posts throughout the spring, but I wanted to start off today by looking briefly at one of the non-comic graphic arts that'll be highlighted at C2E2.
We're honored to be working with artist Marc Draven to present "Ink-Fusion" at C2E2. A pavilion on our show floor, Ink-Fusion to showcase the world of body art and feature some of the best tattoo artists from around the country who'll be more than happy to spill some ink across brave attendees' skin.
The Ink-Fusion pavilion is a radical departure from traditional comics, but it's part of the wide graphical arts world that'll have a home at C2E2.
We'll have more on Ink-Fusion, C2E2's focuses, and over two dozen guests coming at you soon.
The Wait Is Over.

Very nice! A FANTASTIC idea showcasing tattoo art and artists! Sadly tatt artists still seem to get the respect and adoration they truthfully deserve by the general public.
Is there any chance of this happening at the NYC ComicCon as well? I know a lot of people would love, and I have tatt artist friends whom I think would love to be there ( First Place Tattoos in Hackettstown, NJ. The artists there do some GORGEOUS work, and they are fantastic at interpreting your artwork if you yourself designs / draws / paints it. ).
