So we’re back in the studio, a.k.a. the real world, after an amazing 5 days in San Diego. So many wonderful experiences and connections happened for us and we’re hoping to make it all happen again in 2011. Our paperwork is in for another Small Press table for next year. I’ll be spending some time over the next day or so compiling the huge stack of new mail list subscribers and following up with some interested parties for a variety of new business connections. We were especially happy with the area that we were in and thankful for getting to know a great selection of talented, helpful and friendly booth neighbors. I managed to record just a few in our immediate area with their info after the break below. We hope to see them all next year.
Thanks to everyone who stopped by our booth to laugh together, visit and purchase!
Curio & Co. a.k.a Cesare and Kirstie. Such a wonderfully talented couple that made our Comic Con experience a truly special time. Their book is absolutely amazing.
Ryan Claytor of Elephant Eater was as friendly as he is talented. Amazing work from this Comic Con veteran.We were fortunate to come home with one of our favorites from his collection of work.
Paul Friedrich of Onion Head Monster. Despite my issues with onions, his work creates an automatic smile on my face every time I walked by his booth. Another long time exhibitor and wildly creative artist.
Dirk Tiede was to our right. He’s a Comic Con workhorse who’s been selling his incredible work for years. We were impressed to see his flock of devoted followers showing up throughout the show to buy his latest creation.
Ben Costa (pictured left in full “crotch kick” mode) had a great presence with a beautiful book and one of the best t-shirts of the show.
That looks a great bunch of creative and fun people to spend the week with. I can see why you’re ready to go back next year.
