I can’t believe it but this year’s New York Comic Con is almost here already! I’ve been running around like crazy and my wife has been sewing Tara Normal dolls like a mad woman! NYCC is on October 8-10th and Tara Normal will be at Booth 2582! I also want to do a Tara Normal meet up at a bar after the con Saturday so let me know any ideas you might have. Here’s a look at our new Stuffie Dolls! I really love how these came out. The first two figures are Dr. Frankenkitty and Shadowman! The ‘Bloody’ variant of Frankenkitty is a NYCC show exclusive so make sure to grab one at the con. The dolls will be on sale at the Tara Normal Store after the show for everyone who can’t get to NY so no worries.

My friends Brian and Fernando will be working the booth on Friday Oct. 8th. We’ll have all Tara Normal merch on hand including a print comic of Case #1!
I’ll be at the booth signing and drawing all day Saturday and Sunday. I’ll be doing caricatures all day Saturday and Sunday so if you’ve ever wanted me to draw you, it’s a great chance to have that happen.

Here’s the 1st look at the Tara Normal Stuffie Dolls! Each one is handmade and filled with madness!

I hope to see you at NYCC! It’s going to be a giant Tara Normal party!

First off, thank you to everyone who stopped by to say hello at my booth at the New York Comic Con. It was one of the best times I’ve every had at a comic book convention. The kind words given to me about my art reminded why I create. A huge thank you to my friend Brian Stephenson. I greatly appreciate everything you’ve done for me.
Another big thank you to all of my friends who helped me run my booth: Kristy, Rob, Fern and Brian. I couldn’t have done it without you awesome folks!
Here’s some pics of the event in case you couldn’t be there! If you have an event you’d like me at to do caricatures please contact me at taranormalactivity@gmail.com!

I’ll be at the Baltimore Comic-Con in Artist’s Alley Table A166 drawing caricatures and sketches all both Saturday and Sunday, but that’s not all of the awesomeness I’m bringing to the show.

The first ever trade paperback of my comic Tara Normal will be on sale for the first time ever at the convention. This is your first chance to get your hands on the adventures of Tara so don’t miss out. Supplies are very limited as we published this book ourselves with the support of the Tara Normal Believers who pre-ordered their copies. I’ll be happy to sign your copy of course if you wish.

Saturday will also mark the debut of a brand new t-shirt we made: The Poe ‘Believe’ Shirt. Tara wears this shirt in Case #3 of the comic and I have had more than a few requests to make this a real thing.

Each of Edgar Allan Poe’s stories and poems had a gothic link to them and many spoke of a belief in the paranormal. The city of Baltimore was closely linked to Poe’s legacy and its many ghost stories lead us to believe in the unknown. The term Believe is the very slogan of the Tara Normal mythology and this graphic shirt allows you to tell the world you are a Believer.

I hope to see you this weekend. You can RSVP on the TaraNormal Facebook page right now!

Starting today you can pre-order the 1st ever shirt with Tara Normal herself featured on it. And even better, this shirt has two Taras. In a riff off my favorite movie the Shining, here’s Tara as the infamous twins Danny sees haunting the hallways of the Overlook Hotel. Lots of sizes are available, so if you don’t see your size, let me know and I will add it to the pre-order. The pre-order is the only way to guarantee you get one of these limited edition shirts.

UPDATE: This pre-sale has ended.
