ORLANDO, Fla. — The Original Art Expo (OAX) is back in Orlando for a second year. We’re learning that this one is unlike other comic conventions.

1. OAX is welcoming comic artist and legend, Adam Kubert. He’s best known for his work at Marvel, working on a top secret project for them right now.

2. Kubert is appearing at the Expo this upcoming weekend. He’s a big deal in the comics world. He started lettering at the age of 12, and now, he has drawn for all the top publishers.

3. OAX showcases original comic book, illustration, comic strip, and other visual storytelling art. They’re expecting 200 exhibitors and 70 prominent artists.

“There’s a whole culture of people that love the art, they love the writing, they follow the creators, they follow the writers,” he said during an exclusive visit to his home studio in Celebration.

4. “I love telling a story with pictures,” he adds. “There’s no other medium like this. It’s not animation. You’re not drawing a gazillion drawings… It’s a very personal way to express yourself.”

5. You can meet Adam Kubert at The Original Art Expo this weekend,  January 24–26, 2025 at the DoubleTree by Hilton at the entrance to Universal Orlando.
