My convention reports are now going to be divided into sections. This should allow you to navigate to the stuff that interests you most. Not that you wouldn’t want to read every word of my flowing prose. Who wouldn’t?
Lunatic Love – This will be where I give shout-outs to the fabulous fans, old and new, that came to see us at the convention.
Music Makers and Dreamers of Dreams – In this section, I’ll be giving my fellow creative people the love in the hopes that you’ll check out their work.
The Con Life – This is where you’ll get to read about the crazy cool stuff we experience at conventions.
Convention Critique – My fellow creators, this section is for you. Here’s where I’ll give my overall impression of the show from the point of view of an exhibiting writer and artist.
Lunatic Love
Thanks to everybody that came by our booth at ECCC! You made Saturday the single busiest convention day we’ve ever had. Amazing! The bladder of steel that I developed from teaching came in handy, let me tell you.
Special shout-out to Uber-Lunatic Victoria and her family. Victoria is one talented kid, and I’m not just saying that because she loves Little Vampires, Wolfie, and Frank. That just means she has impeccable taste. Her awesome talent is totally separate from that. Keep sketching, girl!
Another shout-out to Warm Fuzzy Stomach Guy. After buying a Little Vampire T-Shirt and Supermanning into it in the nearby restroom, he returned and asked me to do a sketch and pointed at his torso. I thought I would be sketching on the shirt. It wouldn’t be a story worth telling if that were the case, now, would it? I approached with the Sharpie, and he hoisted up his shirt with a proud “Yoink!” I got to draw on his warm, fuzzy stomach. That’s a first for me, ladies and gents. I have drawn on man flesh.
