Description
I recently returned from OAX 2026 and will be rolling out the art I picked up or procured while there. OAX is really the only con these days where I'm doing more than looking at art - buying, selling, trading OA still happens there. And it happens a lot.

Anyway, I'm thrilled to share Caroline Cash's beautifully rendered and whimsical poster art for the event. It was a thrill to meet the Eisner-winning creator and she could not have been more engaging and gracious in signing some of her comics for me as I perused the Athenaeum Comic Art booth...well, I did a lot more than peruse given the quality of the art! Mrs. Chris K gave me a talking to upon my return after she became aware of the serious hits to our bank account. I blamed Bill & Kasra! Bad news guys, you are now on her radar.

Speaking of the Athenaeum booth, it was absolutely packed the entire OAX weekend - and that thrilled me. Founder Sean Watkins has created not just something unique in Athenaeum, but something important. His stable of creators and the work that they are producing consistently expand the boundaries of graphic storytelling and set new standards for the form. If you have not spent serious time perusing the Athenaeum website and booth, you really should. Most importantly, talk to Sean. To say graphic storytelling is a passion to him is a serious understatement - it's a vocation and he's a wealth of knowledge. I'm just getting to know him, but his booth is a must-visit at every con and I look forward to every conversation.

In full candor, I partnered with a winner to make sure the auction went smoothly. It's good to have friends like Lambert Sheng!!

Nancy is looking a little frazzled there, but I guess 101 years in the business can do that.  Nice illo.

If it don't make dollars then it don't make sense, and you've got a fistful of Cash!

Nice score/win from the auction with so many great pieces I'm sure there were tough decisions to make but you landed something representative of the entire show and for me the most memorable of the show posters created. Congrats!

When it comes to cover art or promotional pieces, my tastes changed over the years and I became much more interested to own a piece that was representative of the entire title in question, or of an entire storyline, rather than a cover that only represents a single issue of a story/title. So, promo pieces that promote a title in general, or Trade Paperback cover art because it represents an entire storyline within that title. I just feel they mean more because they encompass more than just what happens in a single issue of a story of that title. 

That's what I love about this piece. That it is only promoting the artist's current work in a small, cameo-like way, and primarily representative of an entire event during which many collectors gathered to celebrate the hobby as a whole. Congrats, Chris!

We are twin sons of different mothers, Ruben. I could have written what you wrote word-for-word. Thanks for the spot-on comment!

Wonderful image!  So many influences in Cash's style at least to my eye, including such disparate artists as Charles Burns and Frank King

Out of all of the OAX promotional pieces, this was definitely my favorite out of them.  One of the best things about OAX is getting turned out to other artists that I wasn't as familiar with before attending, and Caroline is on the radar for me now.  Was a pleasure seeing and talking to you at the show, and looking forward to when our paths cross again.  Thanks for sharing!

Great looking piece.  I saw Sean share the image a few weeks back and thought it was great.  I am really happy to see others taking notice of her work and the rest of the funny farm at Athenaeum art.  Sean is doing important work there.

Cash is King!  I like her path leads to the Nancy strip work!

This was my favorite of all the promo images, but it took another collector for me to actually check out her art at the show.  Always a fan of cartoony styles, and this does not disappoint.  Congrats on the pickup!
