InvaderCON Recap
So I started off InvaderCON.....late. I had set my alarm to 7AM, and it turns out, it was set for a different DAY.....>_> So the convention opened up at 10....and I got there at 1045... Yea...LOL.
Anyway, I walked into the Vendor's hall to set up my table, and it was already so busy. It was kind of funny, trying to set up around all those people, well I laughed...did I mention it was hot? xD I made some sales the second I put my first picture up, which was this pic:
An important note for artist selling artwork at conventions: taking orders and setting up at the same time....is not so fun....so get there EARLY. So lesson learned I guess...xDD Funny thing is that last year, I did the same thing, alarm and all.....irony? xDD I need a table buddy!ANYWAY I made lots of sales the first day, then I headed of to the Dinner of Doom, which I was ALSO late for. Dx The reason I was late is because I was going to have a panel the next day, and I was prepping for it. I didn't finish all that much, and I had to cancel it. Next year, if there IS an InvaderCON 3, I WILL BE prepared, and get everywhere EARLY....xDDD As far as the Dinner, it was really nice. I sat next to Aaron Alexovich, who was the character designer for the show, and his lovely wife. He gave me some AWESOME advice on what schools to go to, and how to break into the business. He was a genuinely nice guy. I took a picture of both of them, I'm not in it because I'm awkward in photos...xD: i220.photobucket.com/albums/dd… He passed around his folder where ALL of his designs for the show were....it was SO AWESOME, I wanted it so bad....D:
The next day, I was LATE AGAIN, this time due to some car troubles and prints. I had SOLD OUT of 3 of my prints, and I needed to restock. It was alright though, things happen.
Aaron Alexovich had his original comic for sale, so I bought that and had him sign it! i220.photobucket.com/albums/dd… His comic is called Serenity Rose, which you guys should DEFINITELY check out: www.heartshapedskull.com/ So yea, Aaron pretty much made the con for me. xDD Overall I ended up making more than I anticipated, which was great, and it was so much fun! Rumor has it that there might be an InvaderCON 3 in Michigan. It was especially teased at the conclusion of the CON by Richard Horvitz. I hope it's true! If it is, I don't care where it's at, I'll definitely be going!
BTW, another great part of the con was the Soapy Waffles panel, in which they created/ animated the episode Mopiness of DOOM. I missed most of it, but what I saw was really impressive. I can't wait til the post it on YouTube! Online Store
So for those of you who didn't get to go to Anime Expo, or InvaderCON, and would like to purchase some buttons and prints, I will be opening a journal store very shortly.
So yea, keep an eye out for that!Invader ZIM: Operation Doomsday
Updates will be resuming SOON, I can't say yet when, but all I can say is soon.
More to come! Thank you guys for reading! I'm gonna try to be more active around these parts, since I've kinda been dead online as of late.
