Artist Alley is designed for individual artists (pencillers, inkers, colorists) only, and their table must consist of at least 51% prints and/or originals of the Artists own work. The rest can consist of other artistic interpretations (crafts, sculpting, etc.) but they must be exclusive creations of the Artist. Prints/exact reproductions of the work of other artists will not be considered for Artist’s Alley.
If you create craft types of work (sculpture, knitting, crochet, bracelets/earrings/other jewelry, plush/stuffed animals, pins/buttons, etc.) and it is more than 49% of your presentation then you are not eligible for Artist Alley. Crafters must apply using the Vendor Application.

Chris Raymond
Chris (Cee) Raymond has been writing, drawing, slinging ink and making poor use of his talents for nearly 20 years now. After cutting his teeth on an array of writing and illustrating platforms, including the Little Rock Free Press and the syndicated comic strip Strange Brew, Cee has branched out and found his niche in the weird with his independent works. His original creations can be found on many Little Rock metro area posters, t-shirts, and other media for the local entertainment industry. In 2012 he illustrated a comic adaptation of Johnny Cash’s Don’t Take Your Guns to Town. His latest release, OMINOUS SOFA is the first in his mini-comics anthology and is available now. He hates to drive, sometimes likes to clink the pints, smoke with friends and is in constant defiance of television marketing.
