Local creators out and about this Sat.

This Saturday from noon to 5p.m. Matt Dembicki (that's me!) will be at the National Book Festival in the Pavilion of the States (Wisconsin booth) signing promo posters for the upcoming Wild Ocean anthology from Fulcrum Publishing.

Meanwhile, Rafer Roberts, John Shine and a handful of other contributors to Fubar: American History Z will be signing copies of the anthology at Beyond Comics in Frederick, Md., on Saturday from noon to 4 p.m.

At night, head over to the Artisphere in Arlington, Va., for a meet-and-greet with the D.C. Conspiracy as part of the group's Comics Making Workshop gallery. That runs from 6-9 p.m. and will include music by Triage, a local band that includes D.C. Conspirator Jacob Warrenfeltz.
