MEGACON 2008 Show Report
Posted 4/14/08

MegaCon is always a blast, and this year was no exception. The show was held in the newest hall of the Orange County Convention Center, and while the parking was a little inconvenient, the loading bays were soooooo easy to use. That put us in a great mood for the show, even with the pouring rain outside.

This year was significant for us as we debuted not only new illustrations but new merchandise. The matted prints were a success and our new mousepads went like hot cakes! We can now offer virtually any illustration on the site as a mousepad. We may roll out a couple more test-market items at future shows this year.

On a celebrity sighting front, those of you who watch Stan Lee's Who Wants To Be A Superhero know season two contestant "Parthenon". Well as it turns out, Parthenon is a fan of my art and has some prints from a couple years ago. He stopped by the booth to say hello and look through the new portfolios. He's a hottie hot hot!!

We were back in the Black Section #1, our home from the first show. And I tried to take the sign at the end of the show, but the labor union crew were too efficient this year and took it down before I could. Maybe next year.

Some new art projects came out of this show, including some commissions and a chance to do a pin-up for an independent comic book. Also, you guys continue to provide great ideas for new illustrations, and rest assured, I'll be taking your suggestions to heart as I plan future drawings.

Thanks again for all the support! See you at the next show!
