I’m once again going to be set up in Artists Alley at Heroes Con in Charlotte, NC.
I’m sharing a table (AA-58) with the ever-awesome Jeremy Treece (I’m So Goth, Angel : After the Fall, Marvel Zombies Christmas, Fearsome as the Night ), so dropping by our table will assure you an amazing time.
I’ll be doing my usual thing, which is chatting with everyone I can, doing buttloads of con sketches, and hanging out in the hotel bar in the evenings. You are all required to buy me drinks. I’ll draw on napkins for you. Speaking of, I’ll also be sure to have sketchbooks, art, and prints for sale. Here’s a summary:
Con Sketch Advance List & Rates
All of my con sketches are completed on 11×14 bristol board, in greyscale copic marker. Generally the pieces are half figure, with little to no background. A sampling:

You may also view a gallery of all of last year’s completed con sketches here.
Rates at the Con will be $75. There are currently NO advance slots open. I want to stress that this does not mean my con sketch list is full (far from it!) Be sure to swing by my table at Heroes on Friday and we’ll see if there’s still room on the list at that time.
Artwork for Sale
I’ll have a limited amount of original art available for sale or pickup at the convention. You may select any image for a larger view. Pre-purchase requires payment in advance.

Set vs Apep Base Card Art, Pen & ink on ($50, includes a copy of the card)
![]() The Goon Sketch, Copic Markers on 9x12 sketch paper ($50) |
![]() Zombie Santa & Elves, Copic markers on 9×12 drawing paper. ($50) |
…and others! I’ll add to and update this list as Heroes Con draws nearer.
Prints & Sketchbook
I’ll have the remaining 10 or so copies of my last sketchbook, The Great Cat Nip!, available. It’s 24 pages, with a grayscale interior and full-color covers. It was limited to a print run of 50 copies, and will include a head sketch of your choosing, at approximately sketch card size. Only $10.
I’m also going to have each of my new 11×17 Princess of Mars: On The Arizona Hills prints available. I’m actually very proud of these, to be honest. They’re printed on an 80#, semi-glossy paper stock, and the colors are wonderfully vivid. I’m even keeping one for myself.
Below, from left to right, are the standard edition ($10), and the limited edition – only 20 numbered copies were printed, and will be signed and remarqued with a sketch of your choosing – only $25):

Contact Info & Payment Options
You may contact me directly via e-mail (kinggoji@gmail.com), or privately via any of the social media sites you may be following me through. I’ll handle requests in order received, regardless of the platform you contact me on.
I’ll be taking credit cards (Visa, MC, AmEx, Discover) and Paypal at Heroes Con via my iPhone using Square and the Paypal app. Good old fashioned cash is always accepted, with pleasure. Advance payments should be via Paypal unless previous arrangements have been made.
About Heroes Con
From the Heroes web site:
HeroesCon 2012 will be June 22-24! Come and celebrate our 30th Anniversary with us! HEROES CONVENTION was founded in 1982 by Shelton Drum, owner of Charlotte’s Heroes Aren’t Hard To Find comics shop. Since then the convention has become famous for its comics-first and family-friendly atmosphere, where fans can mingle directly with professionals and exhibitors. Boasting an incredible guest list built mainly on reputation and goodwill, HeroesCon is known nationwide as a “must” on the summer schedule, drawing fans, exhibitors, and creators from every region of the country to the Charlotte Convention Center.










Congrats, Richard! Looks to be a nice addition to the JC cannon. You’re in quite heady company and I think you’ll do them proud!
One minor quibble if I may–isn’t it supposed to be E.R.B. (Edgar Rice Burroughs) instead of E.A.B.? I looked at the original transcript and I didn’t see a change in the middle name. Feel free to correct me, but I thought we should get the author’s name correct out of respect.
Again, nice job–looking forward to future installments!
You’re absolutely right Mike, and I’ve corrected the oversight. I have to learn to proofread more carefully.
