Having barely unpacked her suitcases from in-store signings on the east coast, Dani Dixon, comic book creator and writer for the series “13,” is next scheduled to speak at Animé Los Angeles. Animé Los Angeles is billed as a very “fan-friendly” convention for enthusiasts of animation, illustration and of course, comics.
“I've been to a lot of conventions, but this will be my first time sitting on stage. It's very exciting,” says Dixon. Dixon was approached to speak at the convention this fall, shortly before the “13” series made its splashy debut at Los Angeles comic book shop Golden Apple. Issue #1 of the “13” series hit stores this November after a steady stream of sneak peeks, trailers and appearances at conventions large and small.
Dani Dixon, who is also the president of TUMBLE CREEK PRESS, the publisher for the series, is doing double-duty at Animé Los Angeles. First, Saturday, January 5th, she and Jason Merrell, one of "13" co-editors, will sign autographs and review portfolios of new artists. TUMBLE CREEK PRESS is hoping to find some great illustrators for upcoming issues of “13” and additional titles. The portfolio review presents a rare opportunity for new artists to break into a sometimes exclusive, always competitive, industry.
Then Sunday, January 6th, Dixon will be joined by Camellia E. Cox (colorist for “13” since Issue #0 premiered at Comic-Con last July) on a panel devoted to the “13” series. Audience members at the Sunday panel will be the first to see the new “13” trailer which showcases art from upcoming issues and reveals a bit more about the complex mythology of the “13” universe. Dixon will also share her insights on independent publishing - from production to marketing.
