Sorry Philadelphia . . .

. . .But I won’t be attending Wizard World Philly this year. I was ready to suck up the increased airfare –because I understand that gas is not cheap and besides, airplane really fuck up the Stratosphere and make the air nasty. But spending 4 days in my car for a 3 day con is ridiculous also.

However, $200 for a 4’ table at a WW convention? Where odds are high I’ll be stuck in some backwater corner or across from some skanky porn star?

I feel pretty bad about not going because I have a lot of friends in Philly, and the show has always been kind to me (despite my complaint last paragraph). But paying $50 a foot is just ridiculous.

The same money gets me more space at Heroes, and even LESS money gets me more at PittCon. I’ve always heard Heroes was one of the best shows going and I know from personal experience that PittCon is the cat’s pajamas.

Of all the cons I did last year, PittCon was the best. Not only is it kind to artists, it also feeds us lunch, allows us to reserve last year’s table if we liked it, and keeps us up to our eyeballs in alcohol at night after the show.

SPEAKING OF CONVENTIONS!

I will be at the big NYCC on the 18^th and 19^th! I’ll be chilling at Double Midnight Comics Booth #2702. I’ll be there from 12pm until 3pm on Friday, and all day Saturday. I have to drive home on Sunday though. Sorry.

I’ll also be at PittCon April 25-27 at Table D (right by the Radisson entrance). If I look a little boozed up, blame it on the con. J

On the off chance that any of you have been dying to buy some original Atomic Robo art, a t-shirt, or sketchbook you can now get all of that and more at the Comic Art House! I can do commissions, but the wait is rather long these days.
