This and That

So back when I was in Motor City Comic Con, a guy came up to my table and was like "I'll write an article about you if you draw me with a penguin."  Here's the drawing, which he absolutely adored, and here's the article!  http://annecarlini.com/ex_interviews.php?id=1309  Sometimes the bartering system DOES work!  Interview by Russell Trunk of Exclusive Magazine.

Ah last time I blogged it was about Special Edition, which was great!  My friend and fellow cartoonist Warner helped man my table when I couldn't be there on Sunday.  I took a bus, then cab across town (cabs were hard to catch at the west end... maybe this is a sign I should get Uber) to draw at the annual FD Day for a few hours.  FD is short for Familial Dysautonomia, and I draw a weekly comic strip for their organization.  I was even drawing and eating on the cab on the way back to Pier 94 - a super busy day!  But I like the excitement.

Haven't posted in awhile because the current apartment hunt has been such a time sucker!  Literally every single night this month, Molly and I have been going to Brooklyn for hours.  The sequel is practically writing itself.  I think the end is in sight though.

Special Edition NYC Next Weekend!

Next weekend I'll be in Special Edition NYC!  I'll be tabling with Nadia Burgess in Artist Alley table H5 - moving up in the alphabet!  I'll be there the whole day Saturday June 6 from 10A-6P.  But on Sunday June 7, I need to leave in the afternoon to draw at FD Day.  Sunday I'll be at Special Edition from 10A-Noon, and then at 3:30P-5P.

Breaking news:  tickets to New York Comic Con in October are already sold out!  HOWEVER, there will be some tickets AT Special Edition!  "Very limited quantities are available on a first-come first-serve basis and only while supplies last."  So if you're kicking yourself for not getting a NYCC ticket sooner, you still have a chance!  One Special Edition: NYC ticket = the ability to buy ONE NYCC ticket.

Other reasons why you should go to Special Edition are they have some interesting panels!  Sat June 6 at noon is "The Princess Who Saved Herself" Kickstarter talk, and some informative comics business panels like "Let's Talk About Checks" at 1p. 

Special Edition is at PIER 94 (DO NOT go to Javits!)  For the musically inclined, it's more near Terminal 5 than it is to the Intrepid.  Hope to see you there!

I don't think I'll order from Vistaprint again.  They didn't even send me an email telling me the package had been sent back to them.  I only found out today from my friend/client that the package never arrived a month ago.  Other printing services like Clubflyers.com always send me an email if there's something wrong with the file (like the text is too close to the cut-off borders).
