Diversity Comic Con Fri 10/25

If you’re in the NYC area, please stop by Diversity Comic Con at FIT tomorrow - Friday 10/25 from 10a - 6p! More info here. They have a great panel lineup - better than NYCC, as it’s geared towards creators. I’m personally interested in the webcomic one the most at 2p!

Business Tip

Don’t do too many comic cons or events in a row. This is more a mental note to myself! They really take a lot of energy to do, from lugging all your gear there early on public transit, setting up, constantly reaching out to people all day… I’m naturally social and like talking to people but it gets tiring after awhile! I’ve realized that I’m still worn out after a con no matter how many sketches I’ve done. Am I getting OLD? lol! You really gotta love drawing comics to stay in the game! But I’m not going anywhere for a long time, don’t worry :)

Diversity Comic Con this THURS & Biz Basics NEXT WED!

There’s a new con in town: Diversity Comic Con at FIT! Celebrating diversity in the comics world! It’s this Thursday 10/11, so if you missed NYCC this is perfect for you - their panel lineup is all the best of what NYCC should have had, such as “breaking in” and “self-publishing.” Since cosplay has had such a boom, FIT is the perfect venue. It’s FREE but you must get a free eventbrite ticket. I’ll be exhibiting at table 41 in the corner near the stage, along with many other diverse comic creators.

In other news, the next Business Basics for Freelancers class is NEXT WEDNESDAY October 17th from 6-9p at Anyone Comics! I promoted this class like crazy at NYCC, and will at Diversity comic con, so don’t wait til the day before to get a ticket if you’ve been considering it. People always ask “will I have other classes?” and I try to have them once a month, but if you can actually make this time, go for it, because my classes may start to fill up! Thanks!
