Utah Caricature – SLC Comic Con 2014

Well the Salt Lake Comic is over and what a crowd.  Pretty crazy overall. I was a little disappointed I wasn’t placed in the Artist Alley but apparently there is some lame SLC Comic Con rule that Utah Caricature artists cannot be in the same realm as the “real” artist.  It still was quite the adventure and I learned a lot from my first Comic Con as a vendor.  Utah caricature is still not as big as it could be and maybe that’s why they have some rule banning caricature artist from being around the “official” artists.  Anyway, I posted a few photos of my live caricature work during the SLC Con.
