To celebrate SDCC, I thought that I’d share the exclusive print that we’re selling at our booth (#4207) this year. I illustrated this in May, which shows how far ahead one has to plan for such things.
This is the first time that we’ve ever done an exclusive print at the Comic-Con, and while I’m really proud of the image, I was hoping that the official convention site might just put it on their own website. (I often suffer from this foul optimism.) This kind of exposure can make a world of difference for small creators, and I’d recommend convention organizers to spend the extra effort to make that happen.
Unfortunately for the San Diego Comic-Con, that didn’t happen.
Looks like only the 29 largest companies got picked up, leaving us indie folks scrambling to get the word out. And to be perfectly fair, this is our job anyway, though I was hoping for a little help on their end.
It’s hardly a surprise, but a good lesson for the future. (Don’t count on much help. Get the art done early so that one has months to advertise.)
Comic stream picking up again on Monday, oh yeah!
