Baltimore Comic Con Postmortem

September 1st, 2010

I wanted to start by giving a huge Thank You to everyone who stopped by our table and either picked up a button, flier, or bought a book. The 2010 Balitmore Comic Con was a fun time. It amazes me the amount of people in this area that are willing to wait in a line that stretches around the block to get into the show. I had a lot of fun hanging out with Sean and Ben, doing sketches and talking about comics.

We were also fortunate enough to be booth neighbors with Antonio Clark who is an incredibly talented and enthusiastic comic artist. He gave me some great ideas for fun sketches to give out to people and was kind enough to do a sweet watercolor drawing of Raphael for my son. He also drew a sweet sketch card of Gnorm for me. Thanks Tony!

As I said, I drew a ton of sketches for people and tried to take pics of most of them. Here’s a bunch of them, as well as some pics of our booth setup.

Redesign

August 27th, 2010

So the site redesign went off without a hitch last night. I hope everyone likes it. I took a lot of time with this one trying to figure out what was really useful and what was just clutter in the last design. One of the new features I’ve added is an email subscription for those of you who aren’t into RSS.

Another major change is that I got rid of the ads. I’m not saying I’ll never put ads back on the site, but for now I don’t think they’re necessary. I do have an area in the sidebar where I’ll be making recommendations for sites that are either a really good cause that I want to support or a site that I think you would like or benefit from. First up in the recommendations is St. Jude Children’s Hospital. I’ve been blessed with the greatest little 4 year old on the planet (sorry if you thought your kid was better… you’re wrong) and I can’t imagine going through some of the fights that families of sick kids go through. Anything that can be done to prevent that is well worth it, so I hope you’ll consider supporting St. Jude’s.

Also, don’t forget that next week begins the three-strips-a-week run here. Wish me luck!
