Sacramento Model Demetra Wendy Manning at Empire's Comics Artist Meetup

We're excited to announce that our next live model for Empire's Comics Artist Meet-up is Demetra Wendy Manning.

About Demetra Wendy Manning

Demetra enjoys theatre, dress up, glitter, and the preciousness of snails, so it’s probably not surprising that she eventually became a Professional Faerie.

Under the alter ego of ‘Wendy’, she can be found riding her dragon with trunks full of magic tricks, balloons, face paint, and presents for children all over northern California.

Past modeling experience includes sculpture work and posing for painting. She’s a Taurus and a Hufflepuff, and you best believe her cookbooks are written in cover-to-cover.

Our Long Tradition of Supporting Sacramento Creatives

We've long been supporters of local creatives, be they writers, artists or comic book creators.

From our Mini-Cons (Creative Women Mini-Con and FCBD Mini-Con) and in-store art gallery to 24 Hour Comic Day and National Novel Writing Month, we love creatives.

Also, for years, the Sacramento Comicbook Creators Group has met at Empire's on Tuesday nights, and they've supporting numerous artists and comic book creatives in bringing their creative works to life.

Currently on Wednesday mornings a group of artists meet in Empire’s Comics Lounge to sketch and draw and learn from each other.

Finally, this year, with a more open space and the addition of Empire's Comics Lounge and Empire's Art Gallery, we decided it was time to start our very own art group.

Whether you’re currently an artist or just now picking up the pencil and sketch pad, we welcome you to join us.
