Rhapsodies

Well I just got back from this years Emerald City ComicCon and I feel very drained. I had a lot of fun and passed out a whole lot of promotional materials but unfortunately as far as sales were concerned the whole thing was a bust. At the moment I’m blaming the location. While this was a pretty central spot in the convention perhaps the traffic was a little TOO good. Like having a storefront on Aurora. While I don’t want to do one of the greener pastures whines, perhaps Artist’s Alley is better suited for my needs. At the very least people who are going through it are better prepared to try something new. The other thing this brings up is my recurring concern that a comic book convention might not be the best place to market a comic STRIP

Anyway, while I know it’s all about spreading the word, fifteen dollars in sales still feels more than a little demoralizing.

But otherwise I had a good time hanging with friends, networking and getting some books signed.
