I attended my first Comic Convention in Winnipeg, and it was a lot of fun. I met lots of people, saw lots of costumes, and handed out lots of drawings, so it was a good day. I kind of regret not spending more time checking out more of the stuff in Artist Alley, but I felt kind of obliged to stick close to my table. I guess the highlight of the day would be meeting Joe Combs of ‘Business Casual‘ fame, as well as the guys from the ‘Online Internet Webcomic Show‘. I felt like a groupie.
Joe was also kind enough to give me a copy of each of his mini-comics, very cool!
And as I said, I handed out a bunch of drawings to people, which as fun to do. Here’s an example of one (nobody would take this one, strange…)
Shaken Baby Syndrome
Always fun to make light of injuries to children!
And last but not least, Crowbar Benson was featured in the ‘Friends in Fire’ webcomic by Adam Williams, which was pretty cool. He had his characters dress up like webcomic characters for halloween, which was a great idea. He really captured the essence of Crowbar in this strip. You can read the story arc from the beginning by clicking here.
Hey! I saw you in the artists alley, great art/characters/expression, I really want to get into drawing strips as well, and you seem to have a pretty good handle on the stuff. Really wish I had had time to actually chat and pick your brain for a sec, but i could hardly leave my table to look around (next year im bringing a table wench, lol)
hope to see ya next time! and keep up the great work
cheers.
i would have taken that a drawing. looks like it describes a normal day at my house.
it was also fun to meet you as well, and i was kinda disappointed that you didn’t get a chance to come back sunday so we could chat some more. i’ve been sharing the mini comic that you gave me with some of the guys here at work, and they got some good laughs out of it. and they, unlike me (a hockey neophyte), were able to recognize the hockey tape that you used on the book.
