Ben Wright-Heuman - Cartoonist Extraordinaire

SPX this Weekend!

9/8/2023

IT'S FINALLY TIME!

This weekend is the Small Press Expo, which is one of the biggest indie cons on the East Coast and a show I've wanted to table at for YEARS. I was supposed to attend last year, but I unfortunately came down with COVID at the last minute and had to cancel. I'm grateful that the staff of the show has given me a second chance!

Stop by table D7b to check out what we have! We're also right by Kelci Crawford and the Columbus Cartoon Coalition, so we clearly have the best corner in the entire con!

In addition, Freestyle Komics is hosting a scavenger hunt, and our table is participating! Stop by and ask about CosPain and What the Gnomes Know to check off our entries to the card. Complete them all, and Freestyle Komics may have a prize for you!

See you all this weekend in Bethesda, MD!
Rock on, guys, and never stop drawing.

It's time for SPACE!

6/10/2023

After weeks of advertising and livestreaming, it's finally time for the Small Press and Alternative Comics Expo! If you're in the Columbus area, swing by the Ohio Expo Center and check out the wide array of amazing cartoonists with their works on display!

In addition, I'm excited to announce that the very first post-Kickstarter copies of What the Gnomes Know will be available! If you missed out on backing that project (or want to get some more amazing gnome-related stickers), now's your chance to get them! Hope to see you there!

Rock on, guys, and never stop drawing.

Ratha Con this Saturday!

3/29/2023

It's not an April Fool's prank! CanonWrite Productions will be at Ratha Con this Saturday in Athens, OH! We'll be right by Fantasyville Productions' Kelci Crawford and representatives of the Columbus Cartoon Coalition! It should be an AMAZING time! Hope to see you there!

Rock on, guys, and never stop drawing.

CanonWrite Productions at Small Press Expo this weekend!

9/15/2022

This weekend, CanonWrite Productions will be at Small Press Expo for the FIRST TIME! It's an honor to be part of a con so legendary in the indie comics community. Be sure to stop by table D9, say hi, and get you some comix!

Rock on, guys, and never stop drawing.

CanonWrite Productions will be at Columbus Oktoberfest this weekend!

9/9/2022

With the help of our good friends at the Columbus Cartoon Coalition, we (and a bunch of other great Columbus cartoonists) just got a space at Columbus Oktoberfest! Please stop by the Ohio Expo Center sometime this weekend to check it out!

Rock on, guys, and never stop drawing.

Otakon this weekend!

7/25/2022

Hi guys! I'll be tabling at Otakon this coming weekend, July 29th-31st! Otakon 2008 was the very first convention I ever attended, so it holds a special place in my heart.

If you're anywhere near the DC area, stop by the table and say hi! I'll have copies of Less Than Secret and The Letters of the Devil I and II, as well as those Wonder Woman fundraising prints I mentioned on my Patreon a while ago. In addition, Friday is the 5th anniversary of CosPain, so I'll be doing deals all weekend with the minicollections! Hope to see you there!

Rock on, guys, and never stop drawing.

Free Comic Book Day at The Laughing Ogre!

5/5/2022

This Saturday, I'll be at The Laughing Ogre all day along with Bob Corby for Free Comic Book Day! Bob is celebrating the release of Oh, Comics! #30: Cheese (which I did contribute to), and I'll be distributing free minicomic editions of several of the stories from Less Than Secret!

Planning on heading to a different FCBD event in Columbus? I've got you covered there, too! I spent this week distributing the minicomics all over town, so you should be able to find them there. One catch, though: the stores don't all have the same comics! Check my Twitter or Instagram to find out which stores have which stories.

Rock on, guys, and never stop drawing.

Ratha Con 2022

3/9/2022

Con season's starting back up, and I'm pleased to announce that I'll be representing CanonWrite Productions at RathaCon! I've only had the pleasure of tabling at RathaCon once before, and I've been eager to return. It's a great show, and I'm really looking forward to it.

RathaCon will be held on April 9th, 2022, at the Athens Community Center. Hope to see you there!

Rock on, guys, and never stop drawing.

Ohayocon 22 Panel Schedule!

2/9/2022

Hi guys!

Ohayocon is coming up this weekend, and I've had three panels approved! I'm excited to be returning to in-person events, and we're coming back with a bang! Here's the lineup:

FRIDAY

WHODRAWNIT?! Mystery and the Comic Medium

Ever wanted to learn how mystery comics are made? Then look no further! Join me for a discussion of the mystery comic medium and a demonstration of techniques for crafting a graphic whodunit or cozy of your own.

12:30 AM (technically Saturday) - Hayes (Panel 7)

SATURDAY

CosPain Live Draw!

Join me as I work on a strip from CosPain and answer questions from the audience!

8:30 PM - Taft C-D (Panel 3)

SUNDAY

Decrypting Less Than Secret: The Making of a Cryptid Comic Anthology

Join our panel of local creators as we discuss the process of organizing, writing, and drawing the cryptid comic anthology Less Than Secret!

10:00 AM - Taft C-D (Panel 3)

Beyond panel scheduling, there is one other relevant item I want to bring up. I do not officially have a table in the Artist Alley, but Ohayocon has an unusual policy this year: they've given me the opportunity to apply for a last-minute table in the event that anyone fails to show up to claim theirs. I could be notified at the very last minute of its availability. So fair warning, there's a chance I'll be announcing a table with very little notice (if I get very lucky)! Fingers crossed!

Rock on, guys, and never stop drawing.

"Sisyphus" - A Comic Live-Read

7/9/2021

Hi guys!

I will be participating in SPACE Online 2021 tomorrow, and as part of that, I was asked to make a live-read version of one of my comics! I went with one I recently did for Oh, Comics! #29, which I've mostly had to keep quiet until the anthology was released to the public but received permission to display here.

I had a great time making this, and definitely plan to make more in the future. Let me know what you think!

Rock on, guys, and never stop drawing.
