Rhapsodies

As many of my friends may know, I kind of got priced out of the Emerald City Comic Convention three years ago… and while I’ve been able to kind of attend by helping friends I kind of came to the conclusion that it wasn’t a good professional investment for me due to the focus being superheroes and not slice of life webcomics with a tiny fanbase. Besides, the place has become such an overcrowded madhouse you can’t even network properly because all of the people you want to contact have to focus on the people and are wiped out after hours.

But one thing I learned from the last couple of years of Sakuracon, that doesn’t stop me from hanging around the convention center with a sketch book. Anyway for the con’s first Thursday opening and, while the pickings were slim, I think I did okay. There weren’t that many people so I just spent about two and a half hours before going to the Pioneer Square Art Walk.

A good start I think.
