This year we’re inaugurating an art contest, judged by CON favorite James P. McCampbell.
How does it work?
Everyone is invited to make and submit a drawing of Wolverine. He can be any version of Wolverine that you want, drawn in any style. Your Wolverine can be scary, friendly, Animated X-Men ’92 style, Old Man Logan, Patch, one of his clones like X-23 or Scout, or hanging out with Deadpool.
There are no limits–just keep it PG-13 so kids can participate or take a look with no worries.
You can turn in your entry one of two ways:
(1) email it to Chris at chris.wildrick@gmail.com by Friday, April 5 or
(2) draw it on the day of the CON at our art table and hand it in to us in person!
We will print out the email submissions to show at the CON along with the drawings people do in person.
If you email it: put “Geek/Art Wolverine Drawing” in the subject line of your email and send it at a high enough resolution that we can print it out.
We will give out $25 for the best drawing by a kid (age 0-13) and $50 for the best overall drawing.
We will announce the winners at 3:00 on the day of the CON so be sure to get your entries in before then!
About Our Judge, James P. McCampbell
James P. McCampbell was born in Toledo, Ohio in 1978. James and his family moved to the Central New York region in the early 90’s.
Mr. McCampbell’s primary interest is comic book influenced illustration, but he has had decades of interest in surrealism, graphic design and photography.
These interests were explored as he acquired Fine Arts and Photography associate degrees at Onondaga Community College. Mr. McCampbell was briefly an Illustration major at Syracuse University.
His artwork has been on display at numerous events and locations in the Syracuse/CNY region. This includes the Everson Museum (as part of the Unique Magazine annual art shows by the Arise organization), the annual video game convention in Syracuse known as RetroGameCon, a poster design selected by the Syracuse Poster Project organization for 2021, and art exhibitions at the Gear Factory on Geddes Street.
