So last weekend I went to Emerald City Comic Convention and thoroughly enjoyed myself. Saw Bleedman's display and bought a t-shirt. Mr. Bleedman wasn't there but another snafu-comic's artist was there who assured me that t-shirts are the way they make most their money. So I bought one. A bit on the spendy side for me at nearly $20 but it was a very professional looking shirt. Quite the contrast to my home made "Dragonaur" mock turtle neck shirt I made for the Con. ^_^

Then I bumped into Jeffrey Wood of "snowbuni" fame. You know Jeffrey as jhwood9 [link] here on DA. We yacked for awhile about art and engineering it was loads of fun. He gave me a free copy of his MechANImoids special X (ten) anniversary comic. All I can say is WOW. It was fun to see his retrospective review of ten years of Snowbuni's development. I can honestly say I will not have improved as much as Jeff has in ten years! He's had detail right from the start.

As we talked, Jeff helped me find Jim Smith whom I couldn't seem to find up to that point. I bought two comics from Jim "Bernard and his Sea friends" and a new "Boris the Bear" episode. Jim is always fun to talk with but this time he was having problems with a virus infected PC and a balky scanner. Alas, large format scanners are still very expensive!

On my way out I went to Halfpixel and Brad Guigar to pick up an Evil Inc. Annual Report Vol. 2 that he tried to sell me last year. Now he's up to 3. I think I'm going to be forever 1 year behind! (Did you know it's not possible to divide a pixel in half, it's a point sample) Anyway Brad Wasn't there but the Seldon artist Dave Kellett sold me one. I hope Dave got his money! >_<

Also, somewhere along the way I picked up a Con laser cel pic of Usagi Yojimbo over the Space Needle from the ECCC from a few years back. Totally awesome.

And on the way out I ran into Stephanie Lesniak selling "Blazin' Brandy" Highly professional very Cartoon Network like production. Not sure if I'm going to like it but for 3 bucks I'm not complaining. Here's a woman who makes cartoons for a living making cartoons for fun as a hobby! I'm glad she's not burned out on too much of a good thing.

All in all the Con was good fun and I hope to make it next year. Who knows. Maybe I'll get a spot at a table next time! ^_^
