Alexander Flores took lots of pictures at the 2009 Dallas Webcomics Expo… here’s a sampling of them!

And there’s more where that came from!

We’re bringing back the Dallas Webcomics Expo in 2010, and we’re planning to make it bigger and better than ever! It’ll be at the same place as last year – the Southfork Hotel in Plano – and this time the entire Trinity Ballroom will be devoted to comic artists and merchants. The panels will be moved to another room nearby. We’ll also put some new stuff into this year’s DWEX, such as contests and group projects. Stay tuned!

Here’s a preliminary schedule of the panel discussions, to take place in the Webcomics Advocates Panel-Torium:

12:00 – “The Plot Thickens” (Story/Character Development)
Moderator: Brendan Creecy
Panelists: Hannah Scott & Jonathan Caustrita

1:15 – “How Not To Get Burned While Laying Out” (Panel Placement / Layout)
Panelists: Boomer Cardinale, Cyrus Mortazavi & Jonathan Caustrita

2:30 – “Wacom-petency” (Working With Electronic Tablets)
Panelists: Will Terrell & Joel Watson

3:45 – “Webcomic Economics” (Marketing, Promotion, Monetizing & Merchandising)
Moderator: Phil Vecchio
Panelists: Kris Overstreet, Joel Watson & Michael Moreno

5:00 – “Webcomic Tech” (Software, hosting, file types, webpage design, etc.)

We’re still looking for moderators for some of these panels. E-Mail Phil Vecchio if you’re interested.
