Please give a BIG ICT Comic Con and Science Fiction Expo welcome to stuntman and actor Bobby Clark as he beams in for our Year 7.0 event! Mr. Clark is best known for his role as the Gorn captain in the original Star Trek episode “Arena” in which Captain Kirk fights the Gorn on a rocky planet. The fight scene has become one of the best remembered and best loved scenes of the original series. This is in part due to the methodical movement of the Gorn and is part of the magic Mr. Clark brought to the character in this classic episode. In 2013 The Hollywood Reporter ranked the Kirk vs. Gorn fight as one of the top 15 key moments of the original series.

Clinton Hobart

Special Guests

Clinton T. Hobart is a Fine Artist and Licensed Disney Fine Artist. He creates original oil paintings of a wide variety of subjects ranging from classical subject matter such as fruit and eggshells to more modern subjects such as Mickey Mouse and Doritos. Even his Disney paintings are technically still-lifes, because he works from real objects in front of him. If he cannot find the objects he desires to paint he frequently will build elaborate “Sets” to work from. For his painting of the tower from the Disney movie Tangled he constructed a four foot tall replica of it made out of stone, mortar, cardboard, plaster and wood. The sculpture has since become as popular as the actual painting.

In addition to painting for Disney, Hobart also paints still-lifes, portraits, cosplay paintings, and ocean waves. He has taught classes and workshops all over the world but now limits his teaching to one week a year at Scottsdale Artists’ School in Arizona. He has been featured on NBC News, FOX News, The CW, ABC News, and American Artist magazine. He appeared on CBS News with Scott Pelle after a Chinese company sold forged copies of his paintings online. Afterward, the Huffington Post mentioned the story in an article stating that Clinton was part of a “sting operation.” Hobart’s painting “A Portrait of Doritos” is in the private collection of actor Michael Rooker from Guardians Of The Galaxy and The Walking Dead.

Leif Jonker

Special Guests

ICT Comic Con and Science Fiction Expo is thrilled to welcome celebrated movie director Leif Jonker as an honored guest at our Year 7.0 event!

Leif Jonker wrote his cult splatter flick DARKNESS at age 17, started filming it in Wichita, Ks at 19 and was 21 when the movie was finished. Produced for a budget of less than $5000, partially raised by selling plasma to the local blood bank, DARKNESS was released on video all over the world. It played several film festivals and was covered by every major horror movie publication and website, including FANGORIA and RUE MORGUE, and was hailed as “the goriest vampire movie ever made” by HORRORHOUND Magazine.
A native of Wichita, Leif is probably best known locally these days as the founder of WICHITA BIG SCREEN, an initiative to promote film festivals and theatrical showings of classic, independent and/or cult movies happening in Wichita and surrounding areas. He’s been working with the Warren Oldtown Theater for 12+ years as founder/programmer of the month-long OCTOBER AT THE OLDTOWN Horror Movie Festival. He also curates and promotes special screenings at the Starlite Drive-In and Augusta Theatre!

Leif is currently finishing work on a restored worldwide BluRay release of DARKNESS: THE FINAL CUT coming soon from the prestigious ARROW VIDEO out of the U.K. for its 30th Anniversary!
