TR!CKSTER: cool comic book event taking place near Comicon

Scott Morse (one of the contributors to the terrific art book, The Ancient Book of Sex and Science) says: Are you planning your San Diego comics excursion this summer? There's something new and unique being planned by a host of comics, film, and illustration artists including Mike Mignola, Mike Allred, Craig Thompson, Paul Pope, Brian McDonald, and more. TR!CKSTER is a huge, free-to-enter pop-up store event that's equal parts retail shop/fine art gallery/and symposium space. Spearheaded by Scott Morse and Ted Mathot, TR!CKSTER just might be the world's first creator-owned venue of its kind, spotlighting an armada of artists and writers that are the heart and soul of popular storytelling, daring enough to retain the rights to their own work. Featuring limited run small press books and wares, original art in a gallery setting, a full bar, live music and more, TR!CKSTER seeks to be a haven for creators and audiences to gather in a classy, comfortable atmosphere. With no booths, creators will be free to relax and interact more casually with their audience, have a cocktail, and share their creative processes more readily. A series of Symposia will we featured, focusing on honing craft, technique, method, and theory concerning writing and art making. As a crash-course in creative sharing and collaboration, the Symposia will be limited seating with tickets on sale soon. Open Tuesday, July 19th, through Sunday, July 24th, and located DIRECTLY across from the San Diego Convention Center, TR!CKSTER just might be the most talked-about event this summer for art makers and storytellers!
