Another con right around the corner (tomorrow, actually), here’s Part 2 of some of the things I’ve learned over the hears on how to survive comic conventions: (you can find Part 1 here) Force Yourself to Mingle – This is something I’m particularly bad at. I’m fine when people approach me at my table. But [...]

I’m skittering off to another comic convention this weekend – Comic Geek Speak SUPERSHOW in Reading PA, in fact. So I figure it’ll be a good time to debut some SOOPA PRINTS for sale! They’re little 4″x6″ ‘s, printed on glossy photo-type paper.

In the aftermath of one convention, and about to embark on another one, I thought it was a good time to share a few things I’ve learned over the years about surviving conventions. Prepare Ahead of Time. No one likes going in to a presentation with their speech unwritten, right? It’s just the same when you [...]

One way I’ve decided to save space at this convention is to combine each of my comic book series into cute little packs. For example, since I have three Lipstick & Malice’s for sale, I’m going to sell them as a cute triple pack instead of individually, hence taking up less room on my table. [...]

Posted in Comic Conventions, Process, tagged comic conventions, comics, process, table displays on April 10, 2011 | 2 Comments »
As I’m sitting here, frantically alternately printing out books for my upcoming convention and replacing paper/ink cartridges, I’m starting to think about how to best display my work at said convention. I’ve already shown some of the ways I’ve displayed books in the past, but every show is always a wee bit different. For this [...]
