So a famous actor from some show, I generally can't figure out what to say to them. Once the geek comes out, I can usually keep going for awhile. And when I do that, I forget that I don't talk to people, and I just start chatting. I go to pick up their books, sometimes their sketch books, etc. I'm a target rich environment for artists. And if I like something, give them some money to draw me something. I still like to go around and talk to artists, and hopefully say something nice about their artwork. I know above that I said that I wasn't social. I don't note that (as it's the sort of thing that changes often), but I'd encourage you to follow through to the pictures and then go look at each artists work. Some are on DeviantArt and some look like they take commissions outside of conventions. Comments and notes about each are on each piece, as well as links to the artist's information. Super Mom from Scott Comics I haven't got a chance to read this yet, but it looks fun.įor now, here is the art that I commissioned at the convention. I'm enjoying it and you can read the webcomic and decide if you like it too. The TL DR is "I'm really enjoying reading this." And the elevator pitch is "Guardians of the Galaxy meets Steampunk". In the meantime I mention it in the Steampunk Zatanna Below. Impure Blood: I intend to write a full review at some point. (When I get all the art posted i'm allowed to, I'll republish this journal and make sure it's complete.) And yes, she is that damn cute and adorable. I will say that I had to actually walk down and SEE Jewel Staite with my own eyes. The only person at Ohio Comic-Con they were excited about recently is Sir Patrick Stewart. But this is a draw for some of my friends, and they were EXCITED about the roster here. I never get signatures, and I don't stand in line just to talk to someone (I'm not very social). My theory is that to pull people in you need a mix of people from current/recent items mixed with people from older shows, and some people who are a mix of that. I don't go for media guests, but the roster was (to me) fresh. So the Cincinnati Comic Expo was a breath of fresh air. If you raise the price to get in, raise the cost of an artist's table, and raise the vendor cost - you hit ALL those things, and reduce them. marvel at the amazing cosplayers (And take pictures of them if I don't loose my camera.) look at merchandise and sometimes buy things (statues, cool toys, Christmas Gifts) Commission art from artists (Usually not from the big names, though I'm working up to that.) Because I might find something half as good as this comic.) Seriously, they are the entire REASON I walk around and look for comics right from the artists/writers. (which btw, you should go buy RIGHT NOW.) They weren't at THIS show, but they were at the old Mid-Ohio Con, where I stumbled across their booth and their wonderful comic. This is how i found Nobody and Nobody Uniques. find comics that are by artists, that aren't in my comic book store (And my comic book store is actually pretty damn good). I go to a comic book convention for a few things: Vendors told me "they're charging a lot more for the space, I'm not sure I'll come next year'. It seemed that last year at Ohio Comic Con, I heard from a bunch of artists "I didn't go this year a table cost too much". I enjoyed it more than I have Ohio-Comic Con in Columbus over the last few years (so I'm going to compare this Con to Ohio Comic Con, as I think that is a bit fair and will show you why I enjoyed it so much). The TL DR is that I had a GREAT time at this convention. (I have to do the budget, but i've been busy.) I'm not sure I've spent all that I had budgeted, but don't worry, I think I've already sent it out to artists on DA.
