I want to thank everyone who has stopped by to pick up a copy of "Robotika" and if you are visiting the blog for the first time after the show: Welcome!
I shared retail space with Matt Maxwell, the creator/writer and publisher of "Strangeways", a well crafted western horror story with "cowboys and werewolves, as you like it":
I also got to spend a little bit of time with Timothy Green II, who just recently completed work on the best issue of "Immortal Weapon" I have read so far. We got to walk the convention floor and at Stuart Ng's table found a brand new (2009!) Moebius book which was a conclusion to his "Airtight Garage":
Our neighbors at the show were High Tower Comics promoting their titles "Smart Bullets" and "Ghostface". A very nice bunch of guys and gals passionate about the quality of their work:
And a very pleasant surprise of the show was running into Tim Goodyear a truly original comic book creator who has a wonderful ability to bring a fresh new perspective to graphics. I met Tim through Ryan Sook, but after Tim moved I lost touch with him and it was nice to get back in touch. He has always been very supportive of my work and has encouraged me a great deal when I started drawing "Robotika":
I wish I could have gone, but Gail had a weird freak thing happen and broke her foot on Thursday....so we didn't get out much this weekend.
ReplyDeleteDid the new Robotika come out?
Wished that I could have gone as well. Good to hear that you had a great show!
ReplyDeleteNorm,
ReplyDeleteSorry you did not make. I saw Jason and Jeff at the show and they were having a good time walking around checking out all the art work.
Charles,
I think APE would have been a perfect place to raise awareness about your work on "The Human Hourglass". You should really consider attending next year.
Dude...you could have at least stopped by the table? :\
ReplyDeleteI was at the NBM table next to Fantagraphics and one over from Jeff Smith.
boo.
=s=
Shane!
ReplyDeleteOh, man I had no idea you were at the show. I am now totally bummed :(
I was just looking at Overman a few weeks ago...I could of had all of them signed!
