Flash sheets show available tattoos from KaSandra Compton. Lily Abreu \/ Staff Photo<\/p>\nDICKSON CITY \u2014 Two artists with local ties shared their creativity last weekend at NEPA Comic Con.<\/p>\n
KaSandra Compton, who goes by Chaos Kass, is the former owner of Queen City Ink Tattoo and Tarot of Olyphant. She offered tattoos during the event. Attendees could write their name and phone number down for a tattoo from her flash sheet. The available tattoos included “Courage the Cowardly Dog,” “Demon Slayer,” Lego Star Wars and superheroes. <\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019re doing $60 to $100 flash, black and gray only, so it\u2019s minimal stippling. Their arms and legs only so they won\u2019t cost you an arm and a leg,\u201d Compton said. <\/p>\n
The theme of the flash sheets corresponded with the theme of NEPA Comic Con, which was “Star Wars” and featured an animator from “Courage the Cowardly Dog.” Compton tried to keep most of the flash sheet closer to the $60 price point.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s only a few that are 100 bucks because I try to keep them where they\u2019re more in the affordable range because they don\u2019t take as long and because they\u2019re minimal work,\u201d Compton said. <\/p>\n
Two spaces down from Compton was Ryan Jay, the author and illustrator of Modern Monsters, a series set in Scranton. Jay said the series is a mashup of “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” and “How I Met Your Mother.” <\/p>\n
\u201cI have a limerick that describes it. The series is called Modern Monsters. It\u2019s a supernatural sitcom about some legends, some boars, some impostors. They\u2019re all messy and half gay, they just might save the day with enough night left to hit up their rosters,\u201d said Jay. <\/p>\n
Jay, a Mountain Top native, said he was inspired by the downtown Scranton scene to create his series. <\/p>\n
\u201cWhen I came to Scranton and started hanging out here, it just kind of fit. The town has this feeling of old history and a little bit of lost potential,\u201d said Jay.<\/p>\n
Jay, like many other artists and vendors, was not there on the second day of the convention because of the forecasted snowstorm. <\/p>\n
Eric Kropiewnicki, the general manager of Moon Tavern and organizer of NEPA ComicCon, wanted to have the same attendance from last year, but understood that might not be possible with the snow. <\/p>\n
\u201cConsidering the snow and the weather this weekend, I think if we hit 1,000, I\u2019ll be very happy,\u201d said Kropiewnicki. <\/p>\n
He hopes to invite back Compton and Jay, as well as other local artists next year. He is also open to inviting artists from the local universities if they fit the theme of next year\u2019s comic con.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"DICKSON CITY \u2014 Two artists with local ties shared their creativity last weekend at NEPA Comic Con.
