Lady of Pain commission progress

Winnipeg Comic Con

Another Winnipeg comic con has come and gone, and I'm happy to report that I managed to double my print sales compared to last years show :) between that, all the great people I met, and the copious amount of other shenanigans I got up to this weekend, I'm placing this Halloween firmly into the the legendary category :)

Friday:
Set up my table at the con, the volunteers, of course, sent several artists to the wrong tables, so there was a bit of shuffling, but I've come to expect things like that at c4 :)

I had to duck out of the convention early in order to take off to Brandon for my eldest sis's wedding social. My friends and I managed to take home the group costume prize at the end of the night... as the group of sexy nurses.

Saturday:

The very good looking and talented James Gillespie was kind enough to work my table Saturday morning, giving me a chance to recover from the social and make my way back into Winnipeg.

After the frenzy that is Saturday at a con, there was a quick visit at Boston Pizza for a beer and perogi pizza (oh my god delicious) and then it was off to the Six Pines Haunted house, just outside of Winnipeg- it's worth checking out

Sunday:

Sunday at c4 was the very first time I've ever seen the biggest attendance on the last day of a show, thank you Will Shatner:) Sales were steady throughout the day, and as always, the end of the show, there was a rushed race to catch various artists before they packed up for art trades. got some good stuff.

Still mentally and physically exhausted from the show, but already getting excited about the prospect of the next big show, and have made a big long list of new pieces to get ready in time for it :)

Crazy productive weekend

WIP: Almost done this Starship - its been a sweet commission to work on, looking forward to finishing it off and starting on another ship in the fleet .

From Monty Pythons "Holy Grail"

this beastie has to be my favorite part of the film

Below is a new childrens book project about a duck :) ... just tossing out a teaser for now

and then this is what my computer looks like on sunday night... chipping away on my last piece the upcoming C4 winnipeg con: A customizable Deadpool print.

The print will be available plain, or with a blank speech bubble for customers to have whatever they want written in :) I think it could be a big seller,

Comic Con 09

Hey! Winnipeg comic con is over! and wow, what a great time, over 20,000 visitors!!
Met some great artists, saw some fantastic costumes, MET ADAM WEST!(wohoo he liked the comic i drew for him) all and all it was pretty awesome. Can't wait till next year.

hmm, things for next year would be:
• Bring a friend along to watch/help with your table (otherwise you kinda get stuck all day)
• Get your prints done early! I crashed office depots computers twice the morning of the con... it was a stressful morning...
• funny stuff sells. more humorous comics for next year...
• take more time to walk around. I hardly got a chance to scope out all there was to see!
• and trade as much art as you can with other artists! i really wish i had grabbed more artwork from other talents!
