This week there is a small comic convention happening on the West Coast. It goes by the name San Diego Comic Con. My sources tell me that it is an up and coming show and a popular place to be for those in the comic book industry.

There should be lots of announcements as usual including ones that will take place locally here in the Northeast later this year and next summer.

The announcements I found the most exciting involve the Norman Rockwell Museum:

The Norman Rockwell Museum will be announcing two upcoming exhibits:

Representatives from Norman Rockwell Museum will actually be on hand at this year’s San Diego Comic-Con to offer a preview of exhibitions and digital interactives.

Frank Miller and fellow illustrator Tony DiTerlizzi, the subjects of two upcoming exhibitions at our Museum, will be taking part in a special Q&A next Friday, July 21, at 10 a.m. The two artists will discuss their upcoming exhibitions, their art, influences, and praise of artist Norman Rockwell during the talk “Hero Worship: Capes, Conflicts, and The Creative Process.”

and

Can’t wait to see both of these exhibits and hopefully interview these creators for a feature on the blog.

More details on both these Exhibits as it becomes available
