Some impressions from the Small Press Expo.
I have to say, all of the babies seemed just as happy as the adults to be there. No crying, projectile vomiting, etc.
These sketches were drawn freehand in a small sketchbook, with some spot greys added from a watercolor paint set.
Below: 4 scenes that I witnessed. Re: Female cartoonist: I think I saw Joost Swarte chatting her up late Sunday afternoon.
Below: people just don't realize that their backpacks are BIG!
Below: five more scenes from SPX. Note: the people in the masks were part of a group and I can't recall who they were. They had a table and published comics. My apologies in advance. They were all very nice except that they would not share their beer.

ReplyDeleteHi Mike,
ReplyDeleteMay I have permission to post your cartoon showing my Rabbit Army over on the Plastic Farm site. Obviously I would link back to this site...
Thanks!

Thanks for your kind words, Alan.
ReplyDeleteRafer, thanks for writing. Of course you can post the cartoon with a link to me.
Mike,
ReplyDeleteLove these sketches!
Love 'em! The airport sketches were great, too!
ReplyDeleteMan, I have GOT to get back to SPX one of these years...
Love these. You could do a few more and put them all together as a mini and sell them at the next SPX!
ReplyDeleteI second hypnobee's suggestion! Make the mini!
ReplyDeleteFantastic comics, Mike! I was at SPX and sorry I didn't get a chance to meet you. Maybe next year!
ReplyDeleteI like the toon, but as the guy in the superhero outfit, I must say the coat is actually part of the costume. I had to take it off when it got hot, but then could put it back on when the AC kicked in. That's the DeadBeat, Jeremy Massie's character, and he sold a lot of books that day.
