I know a lot of people bring a small sketch book to get things signed as well. Like, I don't have this thing I want, but I got this book. It does become fun to flip through it. ALSO, if you want to do a commission sketchbook, a sketchbook filled with commissions. The key to that, pay for big fish first. Pay a little extra and have them go full out on it. No artists wants to be the slacker, so they will all do a little better!
This is a good call. I'm not a big commission guy in general, so a con notebook isn't ever going to be something I'm looking to do but I like that idea of leading the sketchbook with an awesome piece. I saw Ben start a guy's sketchbook with a picture from the Necronomicon which came out really cool
Does the portfolio folder fit into the backpack? I usually take a poster tube and found it to be working great if it's not a book you plan to protect. Wrt the schedule part, I'd add: get tickets to additional events in advance. NYCC has that for example where some side shows require separate tickets. It falls under 'schedule' I suppose.
Kind of, I can't fully close my backpack with the portfolio in it but it sits comfortably within the bag. If the backup was just a touch longer it would be great but it works fine as is. As far as the tickets, that's a good call. I've never been to a show that had a separate ticketed event I've wanted to attend so I don't have any experience on that but this definitely sounds like it would fit into scheduling
No business card but she remembered me having her sign the sweet potato from last year. I adore talking to her, she's really funny and massively talented. Maybe if I ever cross the 1000 sub threshold I float the idea to her
Naw man, I would never leave my girl Daniele Fishel waiting. Started with Legends of Wrestling, finished with Boy Meets World. The power of scheduling!
I went absolutely bonkers at the Memphis Comic Expo last year. Im definitely creating a budget for this year.
One of the least fun but most necessary steps for Con prep. That way you can keep having fun in the weeks after the Con ends
@bunkmastab right. I've Ben going for the past 2 years and I'm trying to get a handle on things

I know I’m late but I can’t wait to watch it!
I feel like it was a pretty good one!

You know I couldn't make a con video without mentioning the best Con tip I've ever heard

Did you give Zoe a buisness card? Would love to see an interview

You got something majorly wrong. You chose Mick Foley over Topanga
