Heading to Cincinnati Comic Expo this weekend! Booth D10

Have quite a few new things, including Stardew Valley keychains of your favorite bachelors and bachelorettes, Astarion print and stickers, and of course the first issue of my new comic!

So excited to be doing my first ever out of state convention, really looking forward to this one ☺️

Cincy Con poster, drawn, inked, colored and signed by Allen Bellman, Elizabeth Breitsweiser, and Mitch Breitweiser.Ellen and Mitch Breitweiser signed Captain America Patriot issues 1-4.Guess there's always next year :)Ĭonquests: Had a great selection of items that i purchased, here's some of my favorite ones :) Comic Book Trivia, I'm sure i wouldn't have won it but i really wanted to be a part of lol.The Jim Steranko Panel: I was so tired at the time that i decided to sit that one out, i'll probably end up regretting that choice since he was the biggest advertising draw of the expo.This year's oanels were an improvement from last year's and i expect them to do the same next year. This one kinda leads into the bigger guns argument but i definitely want more panels for next year.I'd recommend bringing in a few more for next year. Maybe my memory is just off but while the number of panels and booths increased i think artist alley either decreased or stay the same.Someone like Peter David, Chris Claremont, or even John Romita Jr to really turn the attendance from great to completely off the charts. As much as i enjoyed Michael Uslan, the Breitweisers, Moore and Bellman I really hope that Cincy can bring in a couple more big guns for next year.some amazing artwork in artist's alley!.My friends by my side the whole way through :).good selection and cheap prices on the books i got ( seriously i made a killing this year lol.).one of the highlights of the expo for me. The Elizabeth and Mitch Breitweiser Booth was very cool, i had fun talking with them and seeing them at work on random commissions.The members of the panel were very nice, humorous and brought a lot of knowledge from the art end of a comic that was nice for me to learn. The Captain America Panel, consisting of Elizabeth Breitweiser, Mitch Breitweiser, Allen Bellman and Michael Uslan was extremely entertaining.like last year, Michael Uslan's story of bringing batman to the big screen was even more enjoyable the second time around.So how'd this year compare to the last one? Here's a brief summary of the good and bads/future and some of my conquests of this year's expo Please excuse the indexing-friendly title.Another year another CIncy Comic Expo, I went into this year's expo extremely excited for it, after all my first year (and the expo's mind you) was one of the key events in my life that helped to turn me onto the path of being a comic book writer. I hate it as much as you do, but I know there are literally fives of people on the Internets who may want to know this vital information for the coming weekend. I’ll be at Penny Arcade Expo in Seattle this weekend.

I’m not keynoting, but I am on a couple of panels, and I will have a booth, stocked with all of my books, plus my glasses and my shoes, so I have them. I don’t have a ton of stuff, though, so you should probably drop everything you’re doing and go get in line right now. My schedule looks shockingly similar to this:Ħ-7PM: Panel – “Is Casual Killing Core Games?” in the Raven Theater. This should be an interesting conversation. I don’t think casual is killing core gaming at all, but I’m interested to hear from people who think it is, and tell them why they’re so very very wrong.ġ1:30-12:30: “The Wil Wheaton Panel!” in the Serpent Theater. I’m going to be honest: I don’t think a lot of people are going to come to this. There are two absolutely awesome panels at the same time, including Family Feud with Gabe and Tycho, and if the panel didn’t have my name in it, I would skip it, too. However, for those of you who will be in attendance, due to your sacred vow to never watch Family Feud, I’ll be reading from Happiest Days and Sunken Treasure, wand I’ll do a Q&A if there’s enough interest. We always have fun, and we float, Georgie! We all FLOAT DOWN HERE!) and it will be awesome. I reserve the right to bail on signings early if nobody’s there, and stay a little longer if that’s necessary. Please, please, please come introduce yourself if you read my blog, especially if you’re a regular commenter. It’s pretty awesome to have faces to go with the names. Wil: So, I’d really like to avoid a “By Grepthar’s Hammer! By the Sons of Morvan!” sort of moment, utterly failing my save vs geeking out at meeting you – I have a sneaking suspicion you understand this desire.

The Cincinnati Comic Expo of 2019 has officially begun!!!

[renonsprints]

Hey everyone! All set up and good to go at Cincinnati Comic Expo! I'm at table D20 in the artist alley, we open to the public at 10 am today 😊

Convention Review: Inconjunction

Convention: Inconjunction

Location: Indianapolis (east), Indiana

Transportation: drove

Date: July 2-4 (Fri-Sun)

Table cost: $70

Table size: 8' plus extra space on each side

Table placement: first row from entrance

Items for sale: 11x17" posters (fanart and original), tutorial artbook, coloring book, original comic (sons of fire), zines (fanart and original; sfw and nsfw), postcards (4.25x5.5", fanart and original), pins (original), resin coasters and jewelry

Previously attended? No

Pros: inexpensive table, 8' table in a wide booth space.

Cons: Less than 100 people showed up.

Most popular item(s): n/a

Least popular item(s): n/a

I don't know if it was because of the holiday weekend or what, but I'm fairly sure there were more vendors than attendees. After two days of being incredibly bored and selling a grand total of 5 items, I checked out of the hotel early and just went home.

Even if people had shown up, this was definitely the wrong kind of convention for me, as it was more of an old-school sci-fi and fantasy convention where people were most interested in books, and the average attendee age was at least 10 years older than me.

Gross sales: ~$100

Recommend/will attend again? NOOOOOOOOOOO

Galaxycon Louisville 2019 Art Haul

Disclaimer: I’ve put watermarks on the artwork to discourage art theft.  Please don’t copy/repost work from artists.  Go to their pages and share or buy their work directly!  I’ve made it super easy by including links to all of their webpages. To the artists I’m spotlighting: if for any reason you want to be removed from this post you need only ask.

I think we could sub-title this con “when Joi sees Good Omens or Dragons they loose their ever-loving mind!” lol

I want to state again how very chatty and friendly this con was.  This was my second? year attending the Louisville con and by the end of both days I was so hoarse form all the chit-chatting.  Celebs, fellow crowd-goers, and artists... Everyone seemed to be very cheerful and ready to connect.  I’ve been to cons that have felt comfortable and I’ve been to some that felt a little hostile.  But, this was, by far, the friendliest.

Friday I spent all day wandering Artist Alley with @anafiassa​, chatting with anyone and everyone we made eye contact with.  Including the following artists:

Kahahuna  She had Crowley and Aziraphale Christmas ornaments that I’m kinda kicking myself for not investigating further.

RatCork Art and Illustration  Honestly, I wanted all of this artist’s prints... She was the only one I sought out the second day because I decided I wanted the one on the right, too.

Please pardon the glare on the photos and go check out the artist’s website: Anime Gravy  I mean, really... An Ace Unicorn? How could I resist?? Let me tempt you: there’s an axolotl under the link!

I have never, not even once, before seen Alton Brown fanart.  I didn’t even realize that it was missing in my life until I saw it.  All of Corrine’s art is so whimsical and happy I want to crawl into it and live there.  So much so that I actually got a calendar for next year from her so I can have her artwork around all year long. (She even left off putting a hole to hang the calendar so you can frame it when the year is up!) Please, do yourself a big favor and check out all of her art on her website.

Robin Overton had so many sketches at his booth that it’s hard to choose!  I’m hoping to run in to him at a con later on to get more.  For now, I went with Carol (because I don’t see much fanart for her!) and Wonder Woman.  lol  Check out Robin’s website for more: The Black and White Guy.

I was delighted to run in to @mimosastudio​ again at this con.  I just bought a bunch of buttons and pins from her at Cincinnati Comic Expo.  I think I’ll probably get a handful more every time I come across her booth.  Mimosastudioart

Last, but not at all least, I can’t be at a con with David Lee Pancake without stopping by to chat with him and his wife (his wife had lunch with us! love her) and picking up another little friend.

The categories are: Youth, Novice, Journeyman, and Master Class. The individual contests are organized by experience. Anything store-bought will get you laughed out of there, not to mention disqualified. The Expo holds a costume contest every year for fans who put their blood and sweat into making their costumes. Topics include sketching, writing, getting published, competitive cosplay, and more. The Expo’s workshops and panels are geared toward both fans and aspiring creators. To register, visit Booth 254 on the main floor. Speed dating goes down in Room 236 on the second floor. You will receive your results during your session.

I competed in Cincinnati Comic Expo’s costume contest and won best prop for my bow and quiver! Still not over it, as there were some PHENOMENAL cosplayers out in force this weekend. Also got to be comfy in casual Link while helping run the booth for MyGeekery.

Hopefully now I’ll have downtime enough to shoot the four or five costumes I don’t have any decent pictures of yet!

Convention Review: Anime Weekend Atlanta

Convention: Anime Weekend Atlanta

Location: Atlanta (Marietta), GA

Date: Oct 30-Nov 1 (Fri-Sun)

Table cost: $266 with fees

Table size: 6'

Table placement: Last table in 900 row - the artist alley was on the far side from the entrance after all the vendor booths

Application: juried

Items for sale: 11x17" posters (fanart and original), tutorial artbook, coloring book, original comic (sons of fire), zines (fanart and original; sfw and nsfw), postcards (4.25x5.5", fanart and original), pins (original), resin coasters and jewelry

Mask policy: required for all (except when eating/drinking)

Previously attended? Yes, though it has been at least 6 years

Pros: Big convention with a long history, good guests (people were looking for items to be signed by said guests)

Cons: 7+ hour drive, lots of really good artists so it's hard to stand out

Most popular item(s): Posters (72), Pins (27), Coasters (26)

Least popular item(s): books (3)

Anime Weekend Atlanta (AWA) is one of the biggest cons in the southeast, and has a long-standing reputation as an amazing show. Getting in can be difficult, as the artist hall is juried, but I was lucky and got in this year. There was a huge range of artists and products (and I wound up spending a bunch of the money I made on other artists) so it wasn't just walls of prints. For me, the biggest downsides are that it is a 7+ hour drive from Cincinnati, meaning I have to arrive on thursday and leave on monday (making the hotel cost almost $400), and that there were so many good artists there it can be hard to stand out (plus attendees tend to get visually overwhelmed and being the last in a row means not everyone will get the whole way there)

Gross sales: >$2500

Recommend/will attend again? If I can get in - though I need to find some hotel friends to split costs!
