Every once in a while I do manage to get out of the studio, and bring along a few samples of my art and 'zines to art festivals and conventions around the country. Below is a list of the upcoming events I'm confirmed to appear at, with links to their sites for more information, where available. As well, if you're interested in a more historical perspective, you can click here for information on past shows, with photos and other nifty stuff.
    If you would like to receive an email notice when I will be at an event in your own neck of the woods, just go to the Contact Info and Mail List page. Note in the comment field you'd like to get an email notice of such events, and make sure to at the very least give me your name, email address , state and zip code. We'll use the state and zip code to help us know when we will be nearby, and send you an update note when we know we'll be there. You can then either come and visit in person, or will at least be warned to avoid that area should you wish!

April 30 / 2022	Pancakes & Booze Art Show
	Dallas, TX     —    www.pancakesandbooze.com/dallas
	One Day Art Event     After a long dry spell of not having shows or festivals, here is now the fifth event for April this year! If you've been to one of these before, you know what to expect. If not, then get ready for a great evening of viewing art from a range of cool local Dallas artists, all in a club atmosphere of music, booze, and, of course, those free pancakes! Once again will be at the Deep Ellum Art Co, with both indoor and outdoor exchibit space, and the doors will open to the public that evening at 8:00 PM, and it will run to late-night at least 1:00 AM.

June 3 - 5 / 2022	A-Kon 31
	Ft. Worth, TX     —    a-kon.com
	Anime convention    A-Kon, the longest running and one of the largest anime convention in North America, is the annual weekend home for over 33,000 fans and enthusiasts of anime, gaming, cosplay, music, fashion, manga, art, film, media and Japanese culture. They started in Dallas, and after a couple of years moving to Ft. Worth, now spliting the difference and will be in the mid cities at Irvings convention center and the Toyota Music Hall. It's been too long since the last one, come and get into all the fun, and visit me in the huge artist alley for new works and old!

July 16, 17 / 2022	Retro Expo
	Plano, TX     —    www.retroexpo.com/
	Comic, Science Fiction, Fantasy Convention    Another weekend comic/sf/collectors convention in the DFW area, this one up north of Dallas in Plano. This will be my first time to set up here, and looks like I'll have a larger space than usual. So aside from the artworks, comics, and stuff you have come to expect, I'm planning on bringing even more of the toy bots I am offering out of my own private collection. Come look 'em over, and take a few home to live with you!

August 5 - 7 / 2022	Armadillocon 44
	Austin, TX     —    www.armadillocon.org
	Science Fiction Convention     Armadillocon continues to dance the time-warp, and this year are moving back to their usual end of summer slot-- early August in Austin, Texas. But don't worry, it is indoors, and if anyone knows how to blast the air conditioning, it is Texas hotels! Along with more art than you can shake a... well, lots of art, also going to have still more weird books from the Foster private collection, and another group of rare and weird toy robots for your consideration. Come on down!

August 20, 21 / 2022	Arlington Comic Fest
	Arlington, TX     —    www.arlingtoncomicfest.com/
	Comic, Science Fiction, Fantasy Convention    Had a great time at this small mid-cities comic convention in the Spring, so had to come back for the summer edition! Drop by and check out the art, a selection of original artworks, plus I'll be bringing more odd and weird comics, books, and toy robots from my personal collection that you can adopt and take home for yourself.

	Denton, TX     —    www.dentoncomicartexpo.com
	One-day Comic Mini-con    Denton is doing it again. They had the first comic expo last summer, and it went so well and we had so much fun, we're going to do it again in 2022! Artists, comics, food trucks, panels, and more. Plus a Cosplay contest for all to participate in. Go to the link above and click on the image to get their full poster with more info.

September 16 - 18 / 2022	FenCon XVIII
	Irving, TX     —    www.fencon.org/
	Science Fiction and Fantasy Convention    FenCon is back, baby! We'll be there with some new art, some old art, some old books, some really cool old toys, and who nows what else. Of course, if you still need more than that, they will again be bringing in a slate of writers, artists, musicians, and all kinds of creative folks as guests. Lots to do, lots to see-- and, at least at my dealer's table, lots to purchase and take home, to treasure forever!

October 7 - 9 / 2022	Denton Arts & Jazz Festival
	Denton, TX     —    www.dentonjazzfest.com
	Juried Music and Arts Festival    Like so many shows, Denton Arts and Jazz has had all sorts of scheduling problems the last several years. Usually held in the spring each year, in 2021 they held the event in the fall after not being able to put it on at all. Evidently, reaction was so good for that, they have decided for 2022 to go ahead and move completely over to a fall event, so here we are! I've been showing here for decades, so whenever they decide to put it on, I will be there. Always a great show, with multiple stages of music all around huge park, a good mix of arts and crafts, it's always just fun. Once more we'll be holding court just inside the main doorway of the Civic Center building (because I'm old now, and prefer to be indoors than outside, fighting the weather, thank you very much.) Around 160 artists and crafters offer a wide range of art and styles to pick from. Plus there's a large outdoor kids section, food everywhere, and tons of music all day and into the night. Check out their website for more information on the headliner acts they'll be bringing in!

November 5, 6 / 2022	Retro Expo
	Plano, TX     —    www.retroexpo.com/
	Comic, Science Fiction, Fantasy Convention    Did this for the first time this past July and had a blast, not to mention found homes for a lot of my little toy robots. So I'm going to come back and do it again-- probably have still more toy robots, but also maybe bringing some of the old art books we are looking to clear out, and even some of the lp records that we -also- just have no room for anymore. And, still be a little corner of the display given over to my art and comics. I'll have it all there, so come and get it!
