Spokane Comiccon Can Do!

So, I just came back from another con on my list of cons to go see during the summer...this time it was a comic book con in my hometown- I had went last year too. It's a small con, but it's enjoyable. Probably because it's in my hometown. Something I can be proud about. 5 years ago we NEVER had these sorts of things (or they were silent and nobody really knew about them) in my hometown of Spokane. I'm glad that something like this is finally happening....something to inspire local artists, in particular aspiring comic book artists.

Anyways, hmm, thoughts in retrospect?

- One teensy thing I had to note was a matter of SPACE...there were ALOT more people there this year, and the room was CRAMPED. I mean, I thought Anime Boston was cramped, well...there were more people there, that's for effin sure, but I had space to BREATHE and walk around at least. Ya might...want to fix that next year, if anybody who organizes the con catches this. There was less of the space issue at Gonzaga the previous year, but then again it wasn't as hugely adverted as it was this year either....=/...maybe even consider a downtown space like bigger cons get?

- Mega Man X2 for SNES is FINALLY MINE BUAHAHAHAHAH! Now all I need is X3 (easier said than done- REALLY rare SNES game.) and I will own every single original version of the games...eff yeah...because I love Megaman X and have to collect EVERYTHING related to it. >_>

-I attended the panel on Webcomics (primarily because I'm in the beginning stages of planning to either resurrect or create a new webcomic)- AWESOME JOB. It was a nice calm chat between 4 northwest (some even local) creators of webcomics, that illustrated that webcomics...are broad and diverse critters. =D If I had more money, I would have like, bought all of their stuff...but...*pauses and takes breath*

- I did get to visit Eric again from the webcomic PX! and got to meet Manny as well (who I had missed the previous time :<)- two local Spokane artists- and they're pretty chill guys. Because they're chill guys (chill enough to listen to my mother yammmer about....various things, I'll spare the details *SIGHHHH* >_>), I bought Book Two of their series. I had bought Book One the previous ComicCon.



Seriously. Readers. If you like crazy stories with pandas and British dudes and skating disco hicks and goats and ...just...crazy....GO READ IT ONLINE. NAOW. AND THEN BUY THEIR BOOKS AT J00R LOCAL SHOP OR AMAZON. I'S DEMANDS IT. >D

I was even "cool" enough to get a free sketch of my favorite character Weatherby (Although I tend to think like the girl and call him in my head "Wederby", lol!).

(So obvious Disclaimer: I did not draw this.)



It's gonna chill over my drafting table for awhile. I love receiving art from other artists. In particular when they're free sketches, some people have kindness in their hearts, hell yeah! >D And being surrounded by art...is cool.

Anyways....in conclusion, aside from the cramped space....it was a respectable con. I really hope I can be home next year, because I HOPE to have material to have my own table there. It would be fun to chill in Artist's Alley.

Anyways, I'm off to draw some more- cons always energize me to draw at least SOMETHING. Later!
