As I type this, I’m finally sitting down for the first time since getting back from New York Comic Con 2012 a few hours ago. I’m completely and totally exhausted. I spent four days working the booth, drawing sketches, and meeting fans… and I loved every minute of it! The days were long, but they flew by. I have some picture to post, but I’ll post those at a later date.
One word to sum up NY Comic Con 2012 — AMAZING! Suburban Fairy Tales sold THREE TIMES (3X) as many books as last year and made a ton of new fans! I was giving away free sketches with every book. I can draw a sketch in about a minute or two, but it got to the point where I could barely keep up with the demand. There were times when I ran out of sketches and a few fans had to wait while I drew some new ones.
I’d like to thank all my friends (and my wife) who assisted me at the booth during the four days at NY Comic Con. A very special thanks to Jen, Brendan, Debra, Paul, Danny, Abby, LeeAnne, Steve, Pete, and Sara. I wouldn’t have been able to do it without your help.
It was great meeting you at the con and sharing a booth wall. Just got finished reading the SFT archives. Really enjoyed the strip and have added it to my web comic bookmarks.
Hope to see you next NYCC.
Hi Rich! It was great sharing a booth next to you as well. I really appreciate the issue of Chronicles of the Sea Dragon that you gave me. I have it on my list of books to read this week. Please stay in touch.
