After completing New York Comic-Con the weekend before, Curls Studio went on to Baltimore Comic-Con four days later. The main highlight of the show was the yearbook theme of Bone by Jeff Smith.
On Saturday evening, I visited three friends I haven't seen in awhile and we had pizza. One of them lives several hours away I had only seen once since high school, so it was good to catch up and be united again! During that time Joe Carabeo was directing the Ringo Awards Ceremony and working on the livestream online. You can watch the video replay here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UTS-dbRrWR0
On Sunday I got to see Jeff Smith visit the table of a young artist, Sam "Kidlet" Deans, who took a photo with him to recreate a photo she took with him 13 years earlier. Her table was directly across from me, so it was an awesome moment to witness her holding her yearbook page and pose with a legendary cartoonist.
I went to the Charles Vess booth on Sunday and enjoyed seeing his work in-person. I also learned that the Baltimore Convention Center houses 70,000 bees in two beehives on the roof. We had a fun time in Baltimore and I am excited to see what 2026 will bring.
