Hey folks! We're getting damn close! Right now its six days and a wake up until the big Wizard World Chicago Comic Con and my first con attendance in well over a year! Guess what? They got programming up and there's maps! Wanna know where I will be? Check it:
Wow! Table #A11. What a primo spot! Right next to Alan Davis, J Scott Campbell and Arthur Suydam! I'm facing out to the dealer/Autograph area, meaning traffic will be headed straight my way. When I saw this, I got nervous as hell! So I am working hard to scrounge up some racks to bring with me to help make my prints go on display in a better fashion. Plus, Captain Jack Harkness and the Doctor Who store are near me, and so the whovians will be right in the area. I had better be sure to display all my Dr. Who related stuff!
What will I be bringing? Well, I'll have new prints, print cards, original art, sketch cards, comics, and I will definitely be taking commissions all weekend at the show. If the wifi signal works, I should be able to take credit cards, no problem. I am coming loaded with extra stuff so I don't run out!
To say that I am excited is an understatement! I'll be hanging with my buddy Brian Maze, who I haven't seen since San Diego Comic Con, 2009. But we talk every week on the phone and it will be good to catch up with him again. Plus there are some people there I do want to try to meet, such as fellow sketch card artists. (and I might even try to indulge my Superman fandom by getting Brandon Routh's autograph. We'll see, eh?) I ain't worrying about buying a damn thing until Sunday. Til then, its all business! I'm all stocked up on new pens and paper. I am getting copic marker refills on Monday. We're gonna be ready!!The big bonus also is that I haven't had a vacation or a break from the home life in well over a year. I love the kids, but everyone needs a bit of a break now and then. The wife will be busy setting up and launching her new store (FIVE BELOW!), so my parents are coming up for the week to help watch the babies. I hope all goes well with that.
In addition to all this, on Tuesday, I am going to go see BLACK SABBATH in Clarkston, MI with my buddy Matt. Looking forward to that as well! \m/
Holy crap folks. This is going to be awesome. I got a great table. I got a great hotel and roommate to help with costs. I've pre-sold a nice amount of commissions for the show. I am well stocked on items to bring with me. I'm just ready. Its all I can think about! If you are coming, stop by and see me. Table #A11. You can find out details on the show and who else will be there by going right HERE.
I look forward to seeing you all there. Rock on!
