For those of you living in New Mexico or willing to make the commute there for a great convention, Santa Fe Comic Con is quickly approaching (Oct. 24-26) and they have a great line up ready. From guests like Manu Bennet to events like the Open Wound Film Festival, SFCC plans to be a great closeout event to the convention season. In the next four weeks, we’ll be highlighting events and guest happenings so you spend less time figuring out where and when the best events are and more time actually attending them.
What Comic Con would be complete without comic book talent to get excited about? This week— the week of the convention!— we’re focusing on the comic book artists and Cosplayers who will be attending the event.
Jim Ferguson
Jim Ferguson is a major pop culture artist and former NASA engineer; a worthy geek indeed. He is shown regularly at the Hollywood Studio Gallery 1988. He is most known for his artwork in The Princess Bride, Adventure Time, Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz, and Ghostbusters. Jim Ferguson will be at SFCC Saturday and Sunday.
Sam De La Rosa
Sam De La Rosa has been a full-time comic book professional since 1982 and is best known for his art and inking work on Venom, Spiderman, Green Lantern, Spider Woman, Captain America, The Hulk, Thor, and Iron Man. Sam has crossed all over the Comic Book spectrum working for Marvel, DC, Dark Horse Comics, and Disney Comics just to name a few. He will be at SFCC Saturday and Sunday.
CCP Comics
It wouldn’t be a Comic Con without at least one comic book publishing company. CCP Comics will be represented at SFCC by McLain McGuire, Atom, Dale Carroll, Jimmie K Rankin, Eric Lumas, Kristeen Parmeter, Patrick Canter, Robert Saiz, and Bill Andres. They are a group of self-publishing comic book artists and writers and are one of the most popular up and coming in independent comic book publishers in Texas. CCP Comics will be at SFCC all weekend.
The D’Arda Sisters
Cosplay is an integral part of any convention. Well known for being a dynamic duo in the cosplay community, sisters Remi and Noelle d’Arda make up The D’Arda Sisters. The two artists grew up around sewing. With a vast variety of skills, these sisters have won several awards for their cosplay including best in show as well as being recognized for their workmanship and performance. Not only are these sisters amazing seamstresses, they also have background in dance and martial arts which makes for incredible performances. Don’t miss this incredible duo this weekend at SFCC.
Rosanna Rocha
With over 100K followers it is no wonder, Rosanna Rocha has been asked to be a Cosplay Special Guest of this weekend’s convention. She is an incredibly skilled video gamer to cosplayer artist and is known for a huge number of cosplays ranging from DC’s Harley Quinn to Disney’s Esmeralda to Morrigan Aensland from Darkstalkers. She is also well known for her pin-up prints which she will be signing during the convention. That is, when she isn’t busy running the Cosplay contest.
