Great report. 893applaud-thumb.gif

 

So is it that you always ask for an Elektra sketch if given a preference? (With some people declining to draw her?)

I like to give options of Elektra, Wolverine or Vampirella. Some people do their own stuff, which is cool too.

Great report. The more of these I read the more I am convinced that I should make the trip next year. It seems that most of the reports so far have more sketches then actual comic book purchases. Seems like most people go for the sketches and signatures then to buy comic books.

Last year, I got one sketch and bought 110 books. wink.gif

 

My own report from this year's show can be found here. It's waaaay too long and image heavy to repost on the forums. Hope that's okay!

nice report. it probably would have been fine here, although the fact that you are female would have likely led to a good deal of stalking from our less than gentlemanly contributors...which is to say, most of them

Cool Sim piece. Interesting idea for a sketchbook too. 893scratchchin-thumb.gif

 

Did you have Cary Nord or Kaare Andrews do something in it?

Nice Con Report. thumbsup2.gif

 

Clearly, this person has more "connections" than the average fan...

 

Still think that Simpsons Couch/diorama is pretty damn cool...

No, I didn't get any sketches (at least not permanent ones) from either of them. haha I actually didn't get any more sketches in that book at all this show. I asked one artist to do the second sketch in it but he was not comfortable with the theme so he declined. doh! I'm wondering if that's going to continue to be a problem? I guess we'll see at Cottage Con! I think maybe I just need to get a few more in there and people will be okay. Dave Sim was obviously fine with it since he's already drawn a Pope Cerebus in 'Church and State.' I'm hoping Paul Pope will be sketching at TCAF in August. How awesome would it be to have a Pope by Pope? 893crossfingers-thumb.gif

The Catholic Church hasn't been getting the best media coverage as of late, so you never know.

It was more a concern over drawing something that could be considered blasphemous I think, at least for this person. He said he was concerned about his soul. laugh.gif
