Well, finally the Oak City Comic Con is about to happen! I had a chance to get my booth set up and what a gorgeous day it was! The spring-like weather is finally here: trees and lawns are getting greener and the air’s getting warmer…nice! Since this is my first time at a Comic Con, I wanted to document the experience to let others know how it went. So far financially, I’m in the red. but hopefully with a good crowd tomorrow, and an audience that may really get a kick out of “fine art” from comic books, I may stand to break even and get my name out there. First part of the afternoon was finding the “back door” to the Raleigh Convention Center: via “backstage” at the Red Hat Amphitheater.
Great view of the “Oak Mural” from the stage view.
Next, it was off to unloading the Giant Easels, with a little help from the staff volunteers at the Comic Con (thank, guys!) Here are the Before / After shots:
I even had time (and space) to make a quick sign for visitors to get the idea that they can have a free pair of glasses. I wonder if anyone will notice that the sign is the Right Panel of “Jessica’s Peril – No Air” … We’ll see if anyone says any thing to me! Hope to see you at the Comic Con!
