The Cincinnati Comic Expo is almost here! I’ve been a guest at every one since it launched and have great memories of the new and old friends I’ve encountered there. Off the top of my head, Murphy Anderson, the late great Russ Heath, and a bunch of my Kubert School pals. Anyway, click below:
This Sunday (August 26, 2018) I’ll be a guest at the Evansville Museum Geek & Comic Con in Evansville, IN. Panel at 12:30:
Catching up with Craig Boldman!
Time: Sunday, 12:30 Room: Immersive Theater (Room 3)
Recommended Age: All ages
Presenter(s): Craig Boldman, Ted Haycraft
Description: An informal chat with cartoonist & writer Craig Boldman spotlighting all of his multiple past, present & future projects which includes having written for Archie comics and illustrating a Star Trek book! Plus we will get to the bottom of the reason why Craig’s face was plastered on billboards that were all over Evansville not that long ago!
A great one-day show in a beautiful part of the country. I’ll be a guest at Pikeville Comic Con on August 25, 2018. Stop in and say hello!
A show of my work is currently on display in the front gallery of the Middletown Arts Center in Middletown, Ohio.
Our opening reception, part of the Betty Hughes Memorial Exhibition, is scheduled for Friday, August 3, 2018, 6:00-8:00 p.m. I hope to see all of you there!
My work will remain on display through September 6, 2018 — A great opportunity to get copies of my books and comics, which will be sold through the center. All three volumes of my Tailipoe series, as well as copes of the Cap’n Catnip comic are available.
Included for your enjoyment: Archie artwork; book illustrations; an art series based on classic games and toys; and the complete artwork from a 6-page Archie story with collaborator Stan Goldberg, from Archie Comics #540, “The Man of Mystery.”
I met up with my Cap’n Catnip collaborator, terrific Tim Fuller, at the opening of the Illustration Domination art show at Clermont College in Batavia (Cincinnati area) Ohio. Tim was displaying some Catnip pages and art!
A new issue of Catnip will be released imminently, and Tim and I, along with Daryll Collins, are already working on the follow-up!
Reminder, my cartooning class at the Middletown Arts Center begins this Wednesday, 6:30-8:30 and runs for eight weeks. The direction of the class will be determined by Wednesday’s group.
Keep up with all my upcoming evens and appearances on the Calendar page!

Here’s a piece of promotional art for next week’s Pikeville (KY) Comic-Con! Should be a great occasion. I’ll be seated next to my friend and Cap’n Catnip collaborator, Tim Fuller. Also in the house will be Gary Kwapisz (artist of many issues of Savage Sword of Conan, among many other credits), whom I haven’t seen in a few years since a Lexington convention.
Please come if you can! I’ll be selling books, doing my Super-Caricatures and meeting, greeting and chatting. You can’t avoid me; I’ll be seated opposite the TARDIS!
