One of my favorite traditions is wandering Artist Alley and the show floor, exploring the beautiful work of artists I’m unfamiliar with. You never know what you could stumble upon — whether it’s a piece of your favorite fandom, or something entirely new that stops you in your tracks and makes you want to know everything about it and the person who made it.

You’ll likely experience both at Chris Maze (Dial R Studios)’s booth at San Diego Comic-Con. Over the last several years, his following at the convention has only grown, as he’s showcased everything from pieces inspired by Severance to Super Nintendo. His style is immediately recognizable — bold, detailed, and infused with a genuine love for the source material that you can feel even across the screen. That’s the thing about finding an artist at SDCC: when it clicks, it really clicks. You walk away with something for your wall and, if you’re lucky, a conversation you didn’t expect.

This year, Chris is back at SDCC, in his usual spot at Booth #2103, and he’s got a new collection of debut prints and 3″x3″ originals that are worth building your show floor route around.
