We caught up with children’s illustrator and writer Kristin Sorra during the Florida SuperCon.

For more on Kristin’s work visit her website and blog spot.

This was our first time attending Florida SuperCon, and we really enjoyed ourselves. It was small enough to not be overwhelming but large enough for there to be something for everyone. Everywhere you went there was something going on. Artists and vendors filled the bottom floor, while panels, work shops, and video games where going on in numerous rooms upstairs.

During the day Bruce Campbell and Ted Raimi entertained guests on the main stage. After the vendor area closed the convention turned its attention to the anime crowd with JPop star Stephanie Yanez performing followed by the costume contest and Smash Brothers Super Show.

We interviewed a lot of great people like Benjamin Button and Pirates Of The Caribbean star Peter Badalamenti. X-Men Noir artist and creator Dennis Calero and his wife,  illustrator Kristin Sorra, R.E.B.E.L.S writer Tony Bedard. Mitch and Elizabeth Breitweiser were so great they let us interview them not once but twice (the camera man had some problems with the footage taken from the first interview)! We also talked to Hugh Rookwood from Kosmic Comics about his current project Lung- Mei, and The Hive author Chris Berman. We first met Austin Janowsky earlier in the year at Mega Con, this time we got a chance to talk to him about his new project Stanley The Snowman.

We ran into some familiar faces too. The crew from Saint James were there showing off some of their new projects, we met one of the villains from Lucky Streak and the Crime Fighters, the Heroes Alliance were all there in some more amazing costumes, Arthur The Legend Continues writer Marin Pierro was in attendance.

We  met a bunch of local artists: Ozzy Fernandez from Razor Blade Apple Studios, Michael Valle from Tribunal Publications, Maurice Novembre , Hikaroo, Echo Chernik, Marcos Rivera, and Celine Chapus.

We met some people from the South Florida Browncoats and will be attending their event Can’t Stop The Serenity (a double feature of Serenity and Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog with proceeds going to the Humane Society and Equality Now) on June 27th.

We also got the chance to met Amanda Stevens and Test Subject X from the Super Human Experiment, and legendary comic book artist Allen Bellman.

We had a great time at the convention, check back next week for our interviews and footage from the show.
