Jack Nickelz: Tell us about what your convention experience like from the artist’s point of view? 
Chrissie Zullo: It’s always an adventure, haha. Every town is a different experience. I love going to comic shows and meeting new people. Like anything else, it has its pros and cons, but the pros definitely outweigh the bad. Mostly I love just hanging out and talking with the fans, and seeing all the great cosplays.
Jack Nickelz: What can the fans expect for you as we are about to head into a new year?
Chrissie Zullo: More original art and I’ve been trying to put together video tutorials as well, because I seem to get asked that a lot. So maybe a YouTube channel in the works with some drawing how-to’s.
