ONYX CON is a unique CONFERENCE/CONVENTION for special interest in The African Diaspora's global community interest, marketing, and support of Sequential Arts, Popular Fine/Commercial Arts, Interactive Gaming, Film/Documentary, Toys/Figurines, and related genres.
Established festivals like Philadelphia’s East Coast Black Age of Comics Convention (ECBACC) founded by Yumy Odom with planning by event coordinator Maurice Waters inspired this event. The original - The Black Age of Comics Convention founded by Turtel ONLI of Chicago, IL, inspired that Convention. These conventions, The National Black Arts Festival, numerous other ‘comic cons’, and many other similar festive events were inspirational catalyst for the creation of ONYX CON.


The 1st (tentatively annual) ONYX CON will be held at the prestigious…
South West Arts Center
915 New Hope Road in SW
ATLANTA, GEORGIA 30331

AUGUST 14th = The OPENING CEREMONIES AND NETWORKING CONFERENCE (tentatively an evening affair)

AUGUST 15TH = THE DAY LONG CONVENTION


FULL DETAILS WILL FOLLOW IN THE NEAR FUTURE. IN THE MEAN TIME, MARK  YOUR CALENDARS AND SAVE THE DATES!!!

In a distant yet relative future, a mysterious pro wrestler going by the title of The Conquering Lion Menelik has redefined the hardcore independent scene. He is ruthless in the ring against all who stand in the way of him retaining his heavyweight title! Outside the ring he grapples with a tougher opponent, within.
Will CL be victorious, defending his title against his arch enemy Yellow Dan, while defying the company that holds his current contract? Can CL face his ultimate inner challenge and return to his true self? All this and more will be settled inside and out of the squared circle of LIFE!

PORTRAITS

  • Lady in Red
    I have created portraits for many years. I've always enjoyed the creating human figure homages. I especially enjoy THE FACE. Faces are like a story. Each face has character and energy that is unique. When I do portraits I seek a depiction of the 'soul', not just a direct likeness. Portraits are available for commission. Request information on price rates and medium options (oil, pencil, watercolor, mixed media, etc.) by e-mail direct = eltercero@bellsouth.net for full details. Thank you for your interest.

The event is always grand and this year being he 5th year anniversary was simply SPECTACULAR! See www.ECBACC.com for year round event info and stay in tuned to this site! Ek*BOK!!!!!!
