We're going to SDCC!

San Diego Comic Con 2015, here we come!

We'll be walking around Saturday and Sunday, trying to meet with as many people as possible. We know a few friends from social media that we're really excited to see. We'll be stopping by various publishers & indie creators and as expected, the exhibit hall will be difficult to get around so hopefully we don't miss anybody. It'll be a crazy weekend but we'll be prepared.

Here's my list of what to bring...a survival kit if you will:

• Hand Sanitizer - to prevent Con Crud
• Breath Mints - to prevent the offensive stench from whatever you ate last
• Cough Drops - so you don't lose your voice by Sunday
• Extra phone battery - cause your phone will die on you
• Snacks and water - like turkey jerky, those almond butter snacks & trail mix
• Business cards - for a little networking
• Sharpies - for a little book signing
• Cash - obv.
• Wear comfy shoes
• Wear glasses (this is strictly a "me" thing as I don't always wear my glasses and I'm squinting the whole time)

Oh and have fun :)

Tabling at Comikaze!

For the third year in a row we'll be tabling at Comikaze in Downtown Los Angeles! All weekend long (Oct 31st - Nov 2nd) we'll be set up in Artist Alley @ AA616. That also means this year's show falls on Halloween weekend, which should make for a really fun time!

We'll have our entire line up of comics: Golden Age, Rainbowbeard, One Night On Earth and the newest title, Niagara (with art by the super talented Claire Connelly). So put on your Halloween costume and come on down to the show!

ECCC '13 Recap

E-C-C-C!!! We got back from Emerald City in Seattle (stayed a few extra days to enjoy the city) and it was probably the funnest show we've done yet. It was our first time at the convention and by all accounts this year's show was twice as big as previous years. Pretty much all the big name publishers and creators were were there; it was pretty spectacular if I do say so myself. Though while that might have been great for con attendees, unfortunately that meant business was a little slow for a lot of the small press/artist alley creators. A lot to see, a lot to do, just not a lot of people buying indie comics. That aside, it's a show I will still whole-heartedly recommend to anyone even thinking of going. We met a ton of great people and hopefully, someday, we'll be able to go back.

Until the next con...

Things that make you go, hmmm.

 

 

 

 

 

2013 Convention Schedule

Last year was our first year of tabling at conventions and we managed to make it out to six different shows. We learned a lot during the course of last year and as much hard work as it was, it was also extremely fun and rewarding. Heading into our second year we're hoping to table at about the same number of conventions, but we'll be mixing in a few new ones.

Emerald City Comic Con (Seattle, WA): March 1-3 -- We couldn't be more excited about exhibiting at this show! Everyone we've talked to has had nothing but great things to say about Emerald City. So even though we have some lofty expectations, if you add in the fact that it's our first out of state convention and we'll be spending time in the great city of Seattle, we're pretty sure this show is going to be a blast!

Long Beach Comic Expo (Long Beach, CA): May 11 -- It'll be our second time setting up at the Long Beach Expo. It's a nice intimate one-day show that's only about an hour's drive from us, so there's no way we could pass it up.

Phoenix Comicon (Phoenix, AZ): May 23-26 -- Another new show for us this year. We heard many good things about the show, but our main reason for exhibiting is just to test the waters. It's a short (inexpensive) flight which leaves little risk for us. Fingers crossed.

Granite State Comic Con (Manchester, NH): September 28-29 -- This will be our first east coast convention! Growing up in New Hampshire, I didn't start making my own comics until well after I had already moved away, so I'm hoping to meet some Granite State comic creators at the show. Though to be perfectly honest, while the show looks like it'll be a lot fun, the main reason we'll be doing it is to spend time with family who live in the area.

Comikaze Expo (Los Angeles, CA): November 1-3 -- Last year's show was a wonderful surprise for us. Being only the second of its existence, there were some definite growing pains, but the turn out from both exhibitors and attendees was incredible. It's the kind of show Los Angeles has needed for years. Plus the show is expanding from two days to three days, so it's future is only looking brighter.

Long Beach Comic Con (Long Beach, CA): November 23-24 -- This is one of our favorite shows! Just like the one day expo, this show is very laid back and allows us to meet up with a lot of other local creators. The convenient location makes the show a nice weekend getaway for us.

So that's the plan, hope to see you all out there!
