Awesome Art Picks: Emerald City Comic Con

During the weekend of April 9, Seattle held Emerald City Comic Con. This convention celebrates the world of comic books, the companies that publish the books, and the writers and artists that put everything together. We walked the floor and talked to a few artists selling prints and promoting their books. Check out these artists, their art, and what projects they have coming up.
