This past weekend I managed to drag my buddy Carl down to Manhattan for the 3rd (i think) annual NY Comic Con. I wanted to hit up some editors/publishers in hopes of gaining a few more contacts to send work to, as well as see some friends who were attending.
while i wasnt completely succesful (Con floors are pretty much a no go for portfolio reviews/perusal) i did manage to bug Brian Wood, Will Dennis and Jonathan Vankin. all of 'em work for Vertigo/DC and they were pretty friendly guys if a bit harried. we also stopped by the
Archaia Studio Press booth to say hello to Mark Smiley. Mark was great to chat with as usual. hopefully i'll see him again at Free Comic Day (May 3rd!) for our annual drinking session with the crew over at DJ's Comics.
as for the Con itself, its BIG. kind of like San Diego Lite. if you wanna see some pics that Carl took you can click
