Artist Johnnie Diacon speaking with a fan
I was able to attend yesterday to meet some of the artist, shoot some video and get some interviews for an upcoming project. Both the exhibit and the con highlighted the diverse types of art and artists that call the Sooner State home and featured how the comic book medium can include many different types of content.

The event included panels, demos, workshops, vendors, a cosplay fashion show and just about anything you could want from a comic convention but with a local focus. Oklahoma has had (and continues to have) a large amount of comic book creators and cartoonists and it's about time they get their due.

The exhibit and the con are over this weekend but there will be plenty of chances to check out Oklahoma comic creators throughout the year. I'm going to try to hit as many of those types of events as I can so stay tuned...
