<span style="font-family: inherit;">Originally, we were scheduled to have a
10am flight out of the Savannah airport (what luck! Usually we fly
out of atlanta or jacksonville, quite a drive from savannah!) to JFK,
but the flight was delayed. The airline put us on a direct flight to
newark, though, and while it took off later so we had some extra time
hanging out in the airport, we wound up arriving at about the same
time. Thankfully, because of NYCC and mocca last year, we knew how
to navigate from newark to new york without any hassle (except becca
boarding a train before joseph and I could make it on, and having to
wait for us at the next stop)</span><br />

<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I managed to book us a room at the
hotel pennsylvania right next to penn station. Having never booked a
hotel in new york, I had no idea what to expect, but this was the
only place I could find that wasn't at least $300 a night (it wound
up being just under, but split four ways it was less expensive than
staying in newark and taking the train in every day. Also less
hassle.) The lobby was really nice, and the whole place had a very
cool art deco theme, but the hallway of our floor smelled kind of
weird, and looked a bit like something out of Silent Hill.

<span style="font-family: inherit;">We chose to get the professional pass
to new york comic con, which included thursday. Thursday is far less
crowded than the other days, and is a good day to talk to other
artists and professionals, as well as editors, without being swamped.
Unfortunately, we got there a little late and were only able to talk
to a few editors – most were either already packing up for the day,
or weren't arriving until Friday. Becca and I met up with Pan and
some of the other graduate students and passed out some work samples
and takeaways, and managed to snag a few business cards of various
editors at the same time. We were encouraged to come back early on
friday to talk to the editors, so after scoping out everywhere and
when we wanted to be, along with any panels we wanted to attend, we
called it a night and headed back to the hotel.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">We were staying only a few blocks from
Koreatown, and so we had some awesome food-ventures. While Savannah
has some great southern food, there's nothing quite like New York
City for authentic foods, so we made our way to Koreatown and had
some dinner. (I had something called Bibimbap, it was pretty tasty.
Afterwards, we found a little bakery and got some tasty treats.) </span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">Pan and I went a little earlier than
Becca to the con, arriving just before ten when the doors opened –
and man, was it crowded! The line moved pretty well though, and we
were in the vendor area by 10:20, searching for editors. Jill Beaton
of Oni press was unfortunately not there this year, but I did talk to
Calista of First Second and Paul of Archie, and dropped off a lot
more packs of sample work. Unfortunately, Oni Press was not doing
portfolio reviews this year, and DC and Marvel's booths were so
packed we couldn't even get close.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;"> At noon I met up with the writer I met
at last year's NYCC, Adam Garcia, with our pitch books for <i>Sons of
Fire</i>, and we restarted the
process of visiting editors, this time pitching them our story. By
four in the afternoon, we had hit up nearly every editor we could
find (some were mysteriously absent the whole day) and were sore and
exhausted.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">Day 3
– Saturday, October 13</span></div>

<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I went
early to the convention again on saturday, wanting to check in with
Marvel, who I had finally managed to drop off some work with. When
we got there, it was even more packed than Friday – so packed that
we were literally pushed by a sea of bodies into the convention
center and up the escalator to the show floor. Unfortunately, the
people at the stop of the escalator weren't moving, and so we managed
to get shoved by the escalator and the people behind us into a solid
mass of people. I made my way to marvel as quickly as possible
(which wasn't very), and had to ask four different people before I
managed to track someone down to tell me that no, I didnt get a
call-back. After that, we quickly made our escape from the show
floor to check out Artist Alley.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">In
artist alley, I got to check out quite a few artists I really like
(Stephanie Hans, Sean Gordon
Murphy), talk to people I knew, meet some SCAD alumni, and even meet
the artist behind Blacksad (</span><span style="color: black; font-family: inherit;">Juanjo
Guarnido). I walked away with some really good books, including the
Blacksad sketchbook and Punk Rock Jesus. The most exciting part was
probably that Sean Murphy remembered me from when I visited the
Atlanta campus of SCAD to see him and Eric Canete.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="color: black;">After
exhausting the Artist Alley, we decided we'd had enough of the
convention and getting pushed around by people so we headed out. </span>

evening we spent the night on the town. I needed a nap after getting
smooshed, but Becca and Pan headed to Kinokunia and Book Off, two
japanese book stores. We went out for sushi that evening, and then
walked around town. (Every time I have been to New York I say that I
want to go up the Empire State building, and have yet to do so.
Someday.....) </span></div>

<span style="color: black; font-family: inherit;">As
we were out on the town, we discovered a My Little Pony exhibition.
While we're not really fans of the show, we couldn't help but be
drawn in by the sheer novelty of such a commercial art exhibition in
the middle of NYC, when galleries are usually reserved for more
“fine” art. They had 30 ponies they had sent to different
artists, and each had come up with a custom pony sculpture. In
addition, they also had some of the pages from the comic, published
by IDW. It was really neat to see our vein of art, which generally
gets a lot of flack from the “fine art” community, in a gallery
setting. We finished the night with a snack of authentic new york
style pizza before turning in so we could get up at 6am to catch our
flight back.</span><br />

<span style="color: black; font-family: inherit;">All
in all, the 2012 NYCC was far less exciting than 2011, and far less
successful. Though I did get some business cards, the lack of
portfolio reviews was disappointing, especially in comparison to last
year, and I didn't get the chance to attend any panels. However,
meeting up with my writer again and being able to pass out pitch
books was certainly a plus, and I got to meet some awesome people
from SVA and some really cool artists in the alley. I probably won't
attend next year, just for the sheer cost of traveling to New York,
but I hope someday I can put my own comics in the artist alley there.</span></div>

<br />
Heroescon is a mainstream (think DC, Marvel, Dark Horse) comics convention in Charlotte, NC. Because its so close to SCAD, not only do many students go, so do many of the professors, both to enjoy and to table. A good deal of the panels are even put on by SCAD. I don't know the number of attendees there, but it was located in the Charlotte Convention Center, and we did see a sizeable line when we set up friday morning.<br />
<br />
The dealers room and artist alley were all in the same place, so comic giants like Neal Adams were intermixed with college comickers and comic store owners and publishers like top shelf. This probably would have been great, were we not therefore in the far back of a giant room. Regardless, there were still a number of people who came by.<br />
<br />
I've used free candy to tempt people to my table for years, and at Heroescon it actually went over as a huge success - kids came by, saw the candy, and their parents would look at our work. Yes, there were the typical old nerdy guys with their box of first editions and $800 Neal Adams commissions, but there were also a lot of kids (and a lot of kids in costume), and a lot of parents (including moms!) There were SOME teenagers, but not so much of the hypersugared anime crowd.<br />
<br />

I can't say I really did booming business at Heroescon, but I've never broken $1000 at any con, so I guess in retrospect I didn't do horribly (I came home with about $300). Charlotte is a beautiful city though, and Heroescon was fun.<br />
<br />
However, I think part of the other problem was we were competing with people who don't have standards. In THEORY, fanart is not allowed by DC or Marvel, but there were tons of pinups of all the girls, all as skanky and scantily clad as possible, or artists who, in order to conform to the family friendly rule, would cover the naughty bits on their giant paintings with post its. Then there were people who's tables were full of full sized comic books. Still, all in all, it was a casual atmosphere. Almost everyone had a banner similar to my own behind their table (6' x 2.5') then a display on their table that did not utilize pvc or crates or anything of that sort, but perhaps some small easels, or a banner on front of their table. People liked to mill about and take time to talk to you and look at your art, rather than darting from thing to thing. <br />
<br />
Still, I didn't do very well, and it isn't REALLY my crowd. I have so many issues with mainstream superhero comics, and with so many of the artists that made cheap fanart or ripoff comics that I felt awkward there in the midst of all of it.<br />
<br />
<br />
Otakon was in Baltimore in July, only a few weeks ago. It is the second largest anime convention in the US, with an attendance of 30,000. In additon to the merchandise I brought to heroescon (pokemon bookmarks, posters and prints, both fanart and original work, a sketcbook, a book of short comics, a longer graphic novel) I also made charms of the animals of the chinese zodiac I was selling for $3. I had the same setup - a banner behind me with a few upright displays on the table, but most things laid flat for people to flip through. And it was a disaster.<br />
<br />
Yes, I made more at Otakon than I did at Heroescon, but not proportionally more. And I had way less fun, almost having to scream at people to get them to come by our table. Becca theorizes this was because, even though I did fanart, I didn't ape people's styles - my cloud and squall didn't look EXACTLY like squeenix, my ouran piece didn't look EXACTLY like hatori's (I couldn't do her style if I wanted to!) And because I'm not on board with what is popular THIS MOMENT (nyan cat? adventure time? ponies?) I didn't draw fanart of it - I only draw fanart of stuff I really like anyway. (Meaning I made a nice kenshin piece no one bought). <br />
<br />
I can't say I didn't sell anything, as I still made about $400. Before you factor in the cost of hotel, the table, the train ride there, buying any of the materials . . . . okay. I'm rather far in debt from it. Yeah. It really kicked my butt, and that means I really can't financially justify it ever again. So why did I do so shoddily when I have - supposedly - good art?<br />
<br />
<br />
I've been tabling at anime conventions for several years - starting at a little tiny convention called Ikasucon in Cincinnati, OH back in high school (2002?) and for a while hitting four or five cons a year. In college without a car, con going became more difficult, though I did have friends that went, and once I started my full-time illustration job in Toledo, it was annoying to get fridays off to go to cons, especially if they were any distance away. I still did an occasional convention, but nothing like I did in high school. Looking back to how I handled conventions, though, things were different then. Now, 95% of all artists have a pvc or wire frame stand of some kind over their table to hang their artwork from. They've become more of a drive through booth, where you go up to a small window, pick a print, and pay. Back in the earlier 00's, it was unusual for people (at the cons I visited, which were admittedly smaller cons) to have even a banner. Now, even that banner doesn't generate enough interest for people to come look at your table. <br />
<br />
Admittedly, I think I also pulled more of a profit because I was capitalizing on the manga boom. 1998 really marked when anime and manga took off in the US, and as tokyopop and viz experimented with formatting manga and bringing them to the US, I was there with not only fanart, but colorful art that appealed to the 'high school emo.' As the market became oversaturated, I stopped going (no correlation, it just happened to be when I got into college), and in the late 2000's, the market really declined, whether due to the availability of torrents and fansubs and free online scanlations, or just due to a lack of interest. <br />
<br />
Now, the next generation of manga kids are used to this availability - with high speed internet, they can read all their favorite series online through a multitude of websites, and because of webcomics, they just expect things to be free - their parents give them money, they don't see that this is our job, how we have to pay the bills. They're hypercaffinated, ADHD, and probably just like us when we were 14. <br />
<br />
<br />
In conclusion, I have no idea what to do with cons. One of my professors asked how I was networking online, and I was like . . . "uh, deviantart?" But DA hasn't done much for me - I have 80K pageviews, but when it comes to commissions, I've had a grand total of 2 people who aren't my friends want stuff from me. When it comes to prints, absolutely zero. Whey I try to promote my stuff or sell it on other sites, no one bites. Spitfire got featured on Drunk Duck, yet I still couldn't get people to buy ANY copies of the book. <br />
<br />
<br />
I love art, and I'm not QUITE ready to give it up yet, but its becoming a hobby I'm paying 60K a year to learn to do better, and I just can't do that. Heidihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00011310179155086750noreply@blogger.com3
