Alberto Ruiz Designed and Edited 2009 Emerald City Comicon Artbook

Doug had the booth next to Alberto Ruiz so it was easy to catch up with what's going on in his life. Not only is the New York resident an accomplished artist; he owns Brandstudio Press, which published the 2009 Emerald City Comicon hardcover, limited edition artbook Monsters & Dames. A portion of the proceeds from artbook sales will benefit the Seattle Children's Hospital.

Alberto will exhibit at the July 22-26 Comic-Con in San Diego as will Doug, who will exhibit in the Big Wow Art booths. Both Alberto and Doug will then be in Toronto for the 15th Fan Expo Canada, August 28-30 at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre. Doug will be making a Special Appearance during the 3-day event.
