Comic Show Recovery

Pic of the booth at the Los Angeles Science Fiction and Comic Show. Taken with my new smart phone. I’m still getting used to using the camera feature.

I’ve been meaning to post for two days now, but it is almost as if life keeps pulling me away from the sketchpad and the computer to update.

Sunday’s comic show went ok. I delivered the paddle, and they loved it! I sold a few cards and stickers, but what I was really proud of is the progress I’ve made in the display. The manager of the event didn’t recognize the booth. It was very different from when I exhibited last January.

Important to note is the expo has scheduled for next month, February 22, at “The Reef” convention center at 1933 S. Broadway, about a mile north of USC. It’s a big Power Rangers show with additional guests Robbie Rist and Holly Fields. Artist Joe Benitez of Lady Mechanika will also be there, and he may be worth looking into.

The biggest problem I had was two people asked me to draw their comics. I had to explain that while doing a commission is easier, focusing the time to do a full comic right now and do the driving gig isn’t going to happen. The good news is of the people making the request was more professional about it, and asked if I could do a cover. I agreed that would be easier and more realistic.

I’ve got no problems doing a comic, and I get these requests on occasion. It’s the time management that is the hardest problem. I’m getting some of the fetish art pieces done on down time, or after work, that’s easier. But dedicating a solid 4-8 hours a day to artwork is not going to happen as long as I have the driving gig.

But enough rambling, I’ll have good news later, including something you’ve just gotta see!
