Megacon 2011
This year was pretty good. I like the new layout of the show, plenty of traffic, more artist alley tables and seems like attendance grew. For the past 3 years of attending Megacon, I honestly thought I wasn’t going to attend if this year was bad. but it was really great! and I know that the years to come will be much better!
I got about 3 people asking if I take card, guess its becoming more popular so I know the year after next I’ll have to get a smart phone. I’m offering more expensive items and I think more are buying multiple things from my table that adds up. Hopefully I can start selling my original traditional arts. I’m glad I can do ok with original art, and I think I’ll do better with better layout, signs, more variety and well just getting better at art.
There is something strange about my comics not selling. I sold a few but I honestly think its cause its not a series. I’ve had a few people coming to my table, asking for the next issue and for me to say there is no next issue. I guess this goes against the ‘long trail of true fans’ idea and need to fix that. I do have 2 short stories I’d like to do before I start on a longer story and need to finish Galactic Divine (and didn’t get picked by Yenpress, but mostly my fault so will work on Privilege as the next story). Definitely doing a sailormoon doujinshi for fun and do the alternative of Songstress.
I shared a table with Ashley Riot and Jamie stayed at my place (in exchange for driving to the con and around town lol). I had more con commissions done but didn’t take photos of all of them.
Hope to get a spot at Otakon, maybe get a ride to Freecon, Pariahcon, Awa-con and maybe Florida Super con. Still thinking if I should do NYCC but all depends on how much work I get done and if I have the monies for it. So please continue to support me and thanks all that stopped by my table!
