We are pleased to announce that celebrated artist Billy Martinez is returning for ICCC 2023 to display his work, engage with fans, and maybe even do a bit of live painting for fans to see and experience his creative process. He has also created the ICCC Part V in 2023 Limited Edition poster!

Martinez began his career in the early 90's as a freelance artist debuting his original comic series “Wildflower” in 1993 for Sirius Entertainment. Soon after he wrote and illustrated books and stories for Peregrine Entertainment, Top Cow, Image Comics, and Heavy Metal Magazine. In addition to his work in comics, he supplied artwork for “Family Guy” and “Hellboy” through Inkworks trading card company. In 1999 Billy formed Neko Press Comics and Publishing, which kickstarted the careers of many up-and-coming artists. It also was a platform for Billy to continue to self-publish his flagship titles “Wildflower,” “Kickass Girl,” and graphic novels “The Deepest Dark” among other works.

Through the years his art has been featured for Starbucks Coffee Company and in various galleries throughout the United States.  He currently instructs and teaches art classes that range from sequential art to fine art painting, and continues to create murals and perform at live art shows throughout the country. He currently resides in Nashville, Tennessee where he performs live art in the historic Printers Alley and many venues throughout Music City.

ICCC 2023 will be held May 26-28, 2023 at the new Farm Bureau Exposition Center in Lebanon, TN, just outside of Nashville. Tickets are on sale now. Book a room at our host hotels before they sell out. #ICCCon
