the above image has nothing to do with the con, btw. I just found it funny.

San Diego + 140000 people + every comic imaginable = quite the weekend. My first time at the big shebang and I must admit I had a pretty good time. Shook lots of hands, met a bunch of people and drank a lot of booze. I dug the vibe and excitement for comics. I forget there actually is appreciation for what I do and it's nice to be reinforced with a pat on the back once a year. I arrived on Thursday, already 1.5 days into the con and kinda just stood at the entrance for a few minutes trying to take it all in before finding my shared booth with Kendrix and Laurie of Konsequential Studios and Alberto Ruiz and his daughter Megan. Business throughout the 3 days was okay. I expected more but I think the bigger names and all the video games were diverting attention away. I'm hoping that Chicago will cooperate more with the $$. Not much else to really ramble on about. The after parties were cool but San Diego turned off it's taps at 2 am which left many half-drunk and confused. I did a few sketches which I've uploaded in my sketches gallery under Con Sketches 2. Go check those out. Here's a few pics:


Anyway, that's about it for now. I'll have s'more stuff to talk about later but I gotta get some work done. I'm kinda screwed due to having to fly home at the end of the week and then to Chicago right after. Frig.
