Early morning and the sign is up and con goers will be here soon. |
Always a laid back sort of atmosphere. |
I brought a lot of my newer works to FreeState, and the response was great. I would be lying if I said I was not a complete nervous and insecure wreck over attempting to tell this new story of Ardor. I am. Like WAY more than I should be saying I am.
So grateful for everyone that picked up some of my newest illustrations. |
Anyway, onto more about the show. Craig Klotz is the man behind the scenes that puts on this show. It's one based on focus on creators and toy and comic vendors, that heralds back to the core of what these shows should be and can be about.
I am always happy to see when an entire family goes to conventions. [Right - Top and Bottom] I started creating sketchcards for sale next year. |
[Left Top and Bottom] Judge Death and a sketchcard about a moment in my youth. [Right] Few more copies of Ardor #0 sold at the show as well! |
[Left] A skeksis inspired bit of sketching. [Right] I was really surprised how many really liked the Bakur characters (the white robed villains of Ardor). |
LOVE the heck out of my copy of Fowl Language that Brian Gordon did a version of "Wolverduck" in. :D |
Another shot from from table area. |
Shows like this, are a necessity to this at times crazy and wonderful hobby of comics and art. I for one am glad that they keep coming back each year.
Thanks for reading, and if you've watched it, for watching my additional video review of the show!
Until next time, support your local artists and businesses. Be kind to your fellow beings and always take the path less traveled. We all may live in times uncertain, but kindness, understanding, and believing in the good that is in most each and every one of us is what can bring about better days!
