Well, I participated in my first comic-con today...which wasn't really a comic-con it was the comic room at the Word On The Street book and magazine festival. It was nice, because it was small and there were a lot of people that don't really read comics, coming around to check out everything. When you're at a big, popular con, there's so much density of material, it's nearly impossible to look at everything. I kept my hopes pretty low for today, I expected to sell about ten comics, (five of them being to people I know) and the FIRST PERSON that came to my table bought something! I tried to keep a tally of how much of everything I sold, but I often forgot to write it down. I sold at least 20 comics, and gave away a pile of free cards with prints of our rock posters on them. it's definatly a start. I know now, bring a table cloth, and lots of free stuff to give away, and everyone likes cute animals. Dear Diaryahh 2 with Sweatpants on the cover definatly got the most "traffic", and funnily enough, there is not a single drawing of a guinea pig in that comic. Today was also the debut of my new comic, "THE FINGER- part one, My Right Hand" I was going to call the whole comic My Right Hand, but Colin and I decided that The Finger was more catchy, and funny. Here's what the cover looks like:

This summer I've been doing a metric tonne of work, although I haven't been posting here very much. This is partially because of commission jobs for Shiloh and Green Mountain, and partially because of my broken knuckle, and partially because of this here comic I started at the very beginning of summer. Just days before I broke my knuckle, I attended a really spectacular rock show of Andrew W.K. and The Evaporators at the Biltmore Cabaret (where the green mountain fundraisers were later held). I was really inspired to do a full mini-comic about the whole thing, and I have been working on it since then. I wanted to wait until I had a couple of completed pages before I post them up here, so I will slowly be putting them.
