Yours, truly. (the photo is the only one I had of me there, and was taken from a movie clip. Grr.)
A little disclaimer before I begin- despite having the camera in my pocket the whole time, I didn't take very many pictures at MIX. Pretty pathetic, since the event was really awesome!
In what could be the Midwest's answer to MoCCA or APE, about 100 exhibitors showed off their wares. Comics, books, prints, knick-knacks, donuts, and panel discussions, it was a glut of decisions, in the bestest of ways. The biggest exhibitor was Top Shelf Productions, which showed off some new works by Kevin Cannon and Will Dinski. It was pretty neat.
I shared space with Renny Kissling and Will Schar. They're cool dudes! Check out there websites after you go to MY website (updated just an hour ago with details of what I showed off)!
I did a demonstration with was more along the lines of my regular sales pitch at Wet Paint. This isn't the actual video, but it gets the idea across...
Now for some of the aforementioned could've-tried-harder-to-take-some-pics. Better ones can be seen here (thanks group-Flikr!).
The View from my table across the way. I was located in room three, which might not have had the best traffic, but was overall agreed upon was the least humid and hot!
We all got there super early to set up. Here's some of the preparation going on. In a few hours, this place is packed to the gills.
My tablemate and good friend Will Schar. He's a very good colourist, and had some neat prints for sale.
Someone paid with this five dollar bill. Very eerie...
This little comic ended up being a very good seller- but I think I gave away more than I had expected- it's a good ice breaker.
Despite it being on this blog, this series of minis was the most popular. Bar none.
Though this one came a very close second!
I didn't sell as many copies of Hush Fund than I had hoped. But the people who did were very enthusiastic! I'm hoping to sell some at The Source Comics and Games on Snelling and Larpentuer in Falcon Heights/Roseville, Minnesota. You can buy one if you email me, and we'll discuss shipping.
My workspace. Just thought I'd throw that out there...
Well, now that MIX is over, I need an new obsession. I think a really awesome Halloween costume is the next logical step.
TTYL!
