Fayetteville... wow.

So the Comicon in Fayetteville was yesterday.  It was a huge crowd of people through the place.  For a while it was hard for people to walk through the aisles.  I heard that the attendance was over 7,000!  For their first show, that is amazing.  It was a smooth operation, congrats to everyone. 


A few weeks ago, I posted that I had my best one day show ever in Winston Salem.  I now have to amend that statement to be, I just had my best one day show ever in Fayetteville.  Always good to break a record, and it feels good that I am progressing.


The pessimist in me keeps trying to remind myself that I will still have bad shows, and its still ok, but trying to enjoy the moment.

Been having computer issues lately and haven't updated the blog as much as I should.  Also been on vacation, which has been great.  I've been drawing a lot and prepping for my next show.


Saturday, 10/17 in Fayetteville, NC.  That is very close to home for me, only about an hour.  Working at restocking prints and sketches.  Haven't been here before, it's never worked with my schedule.  But it should be fun.  And a great way to finish up my vacation.

I went to the Winston Salem Comiccon on Sat. Sept 5th, put on by Burke Street Comics.  Normally I do not like to talk money here, but I will write that this was my best 1 day show ever.  It was constantly busy and a lot of people bought a lot of different stuff.  It was a fun and fast paced day.  I took a page from issue 13 to finish penciling, but got next to nothing done on it. 


My next show will be Oct 3rd in Roanoke, VA.  I always have good shows there, and they have a great crowd of fans.  But now, I have a new goal to beat.

Normalcy

So, been going to work... working on some sketch cards for conventions... penciling pages for Intermezzo 13... Kind of a routine.  Haven't made it to many shows lately, the last one I went to in Charlotte was very good.  They extended the hours, but I had to leave early.  I had a four hour drive and real world work the next morning.  Stupid real world.


There was a convention in Raleigh that I didn't go set up for.  It was my birthday so I spent it with my wife Wendy.  We went to the con as actual customers, then went to a few other places, out to eat; just a relaxing day together.  There is nothing I like more than a road trip together.


Coming up on Sept 5th is a con in Winston Salem, my first in about a month (to set up for).  Have a lot of new cards and sketches. 

Busy day

The Charlotte Comicon was a great show. 


I had a great morning; spent the night at my Mom's because she lives an hour from Charlotte.  That morning we had breakfast before I got on the road.  Got there with plenty of time, set up my table in record time and then used the extra time to walk around the convention floor.  Nearly everybody was still setting up, but I got to see stuff and not spend any money.


The show was constantly busy and it went very well for me.  They extended the time of the show until 6pm but I had to leave at the original end time of 4 because I had a long drive ahead.


Overall a great time.  And my next show will be Sept 5th in Winston Salem.

Charlotte Comicon

I will be in Charlotte this Sunday (Aug 9th).  Looking forward to a good show.  This is one of the biggest one day shows I've seen.  Lots of stuff there, and I have new prints, sketch cards and issue 12!  Woohoo!
