Borrow money from a pessimist, they don't expect it back.

See you there buddy!

I've pretty much set up a piece with Dan Jurgens, just waiting on confirmation. Also going to be trying for Barry Kitson, and maybe some heads for the X-Men Jam.
Only sig I'm getting is Gates McFadden on my ST:First Contact poster.

For sures! Don't be a stranger if you see me, dude! We have a few sigs to get and then it's just cruise around. It feels weird not having any art setup.

Dude, it may just be the natural evolution of the con. So much garbage. The brightly colored furry stuff everywhere you look, mystery boxes, wood carved crap, just garbage. I swear there were less than a dozen booths with comics, artist alley was cramped, crowd control was the worst I've seen in years, AND everything was more expensive. Some artists I've seen for years, have jacked their prices so much, but, i kinda feel like we as collectors are responsible for the price increase at least.

I don't know. It was an easy con for me because I wasn't picking anything up. Hell, I took sketchbooks and my headshot jams and didn't even think twice about pulling them outta my bag and getting some work done. The thought never occurred to me. That says something.

Man, I wish I used to have the kinda focus I have now. Unfortunately, as a byproduct of getting to this point, I have aquired an unhealthy amount of crap. The convention was full of the same basic stuff that I've been a sucker for soooooooo many years.

Sell it off. Even at a loss you are generating cash and you will feel better not having it.
