Our Comicon Weekend

by leighton on September 14, 2015
Posted In: Uncategorized

Over the weekend Sam, Abby, and I had a table at the Cincinnati Comicon. We were extremely excited to make our first con appearance together, and to debut the printed edition of The Electric Team #1. We cut it close to the wire–the first issue ends with page 26 which, you can see, doesn’t go up until tomorrow–but we got the books back from the printer a few days before the show, and fortunately they turned out great. Here’s Sam at our table:

 

Sam at the Con
We met people, we sold copies of our comic, and we had plenty of good conversation. There were lots of impressive guests there . . . we were two tables away from Jim Mahfood, right across the aisle from Chris Burnham, and only a short walk away from Chris Sprouse. I’m a big comic book fanboy, so it was a pleasure to see so many amazing creators in person. A high point was getting my Milk & Cheese hardcover signed by Evan Dorkin.

Abby is six years old, so it was a challenge for her to sit behind a table for 8 1/2 hours with only occasional breaks (DISCLAIMER: I didn’t force her to do anything, she volunteered for this). Fortunately she was a trooper and only got cranky a few times. After we had been at the con for awhile, she got inspired by the sight of artists charging people for drawings. So she decided she would start taking commissions and selling sketches.

Here’s the sign she made, and two sample drawings:

As you can see, she only charged a dollar a drawing, so it was a very affordable option for people looking for original art. She got five commissions over the course of the con, which is not too bad. Here she is signing one on the back:

The customer commissioned her to draw “a flower with a sword.” Abby went above and beyond, as you can see:

 

Flowers with Swords

 

We had a great time at the con, and I want to thank everyone who showed up and bought a comic. In particular I’d like to thank the people who bought sketches from Abby, because it greatly improved her mood and made all our lives easier.

We’ll see you back at the con next year, Cincinnati, when we’ll be selling copies of Electric Team #1 – 4!

What To Do This Weekend

Posted In: Uncategorized

You may have already made other plans for this weekend, but there’s still time to cancel them. Instead of going to another tedious cook-out, wedding, or scuba diving expedition, you should come to the Cincinnati Comicon. It technically takes place in northern Kentucky, but it’s close to the river, and is Cincinnati-based in spirit.

As I mentioned yesterday, the Electric Team team–Sam, Abby, and me–will have a table at the con. We will be at C-06. For the visual learners among you, I have created this handy map:

2015-KS_CincyComicon_Map-Program Labelled
If you look at the bottom of that map you will see that, in addition to lovable nobodies like me, there going to be some really big name comics creators there. This is your chance to finally buy some original art from Chris Sprouse, or get Cullen Bunn to autograph your copy of The Tooth, or . . . oh no, I just noticed that Katie Cook isn’t at the list. Dang it, I wanted to buy another drawing from her.

Anyway! Sam, Abby, and I will be at our table, and we will be selling copies of The Electric Team #1! If you are in the area, come on by, and check it out.

The Cincinnati Comicon will be at the Northern Kentucky Convention Center, at One West RiverCenter Boulevard, on Saturday, September 12, from 10-7, and Sunday, September 13, from 10-5.  Children 12 and under get in free.

Holy moley, look what showed up in the mail:

 

Books

 

That’s right, I have actual physical print copies of Electric Team #1. Sam did a great job on the cover and the layout, everything printed okay, and it’s just a delight to look at. I’m very very happy with how it turned out.

In particular, I’m happy that we got these printed in time for the Cincy Comicon, which is coming up this weekend–Saturday the 12th and Sunday the 13th! Sam, Abby, and I will have a table, and we hope to see you there.
