I've gotten a sneak preview of this and you're going to want to sign up NOW.
Well this has blown up my mentions.
Anyone else find something new to watch?
Living the dream
I'm sure this podcast is great, but it needs to be reposted just for these incredible pictures of @timdanielcomics.bsky.social and @dbandry.bsky.social
4) the bad stuff: i am furious that some artists were put outside of artist alley in a weird spot. sales were dismal for them and i think they should be refunded AT MINIMUM bc they paid for AA tables, not some random other fuckin thing okay π€ this is NOT acceptable @emeraldcitycon.bsky.social
ECCC thoughts! a thread:
1) i had a great weekend!! good meals with good friends, new friends, friends i've never met before in person, got to see old friends i haven't seen in ages. i just wish i'd been able to get out to see more folks on sunday π
2) quality of interactions was mostly A+!!

As a publisher and a CREATOR, there were many reasons I was so excited to have our books on Sweet Shop.
Including:
1) Purchase only, so I can make money off the content.
2) Fantastic contract in terms of rights and splits.
3) No AI
4) Fabulous UI
5) Kenny

I would argue one of these numbered items is an inferior product, but it's such a huge fucking joy to sell comics and @charliestickney.bsky.social's awesome work.
I love the team there.
...that's something you're going to want to change.
Plus the first issue of all our series are free on @sweetshop.app So get the app and check out what we do.
Yum yum, digital comics can be soooooo sweet.

Protect the Freedom to Read in Massachusetts
ACTION ALERT: Massachusetts readers, ask your legislators to protect the freedom to read by supporting H.3594, An Act Regarding Free Expression. This bill would strengthen protections for libraries & studentsβ right to read. Send a message today: act.pen.org/a/mass-actio...
I'll be doing 2 signings for Estuary when it comes out. On Saturday the 11th I'll be at Zeppelin Comics and on release day 4/8 I'll be at Empire's Comics Vault all day.
Love to see you!

I think it'd be cool if we had a larger discussion on the direction of conventions in NA- how expensive they are, how little artists make back, how much artists have to put in to even get accepted- And let's not forget how ridiculous the expectations are for presentation and merchandise with tables.
Hello! I'm a Freelance Motion Graphic Artist & Designer exploring the realms of creativity, motion and storytelling. FACTS: I enjoy creating works that I find inspiring and supporting other artists! I'm a big fan of #comics #graphicnovels #film & #filmmaking. I'm always trying to test my skillset!!
You do NOT have to compare them to another more well established artist.
Sincerely, someone who is constantly getting compared to Mignola without enjoying any of his professional stability or opportunities.
I do not expect everyone who comes to my table to buy something. You donβt gotta tell the creators you have no money, they also have no money. You can just make eye contact, tell them you really like their work and subscribe to their newsletter. That goes a long long way!
Itβs likely the artist behind that ECCC table paid at least
$450 for the table
$500-700 for lodging
$150 (+) for food/drink
$300+ for merch.
The financial risk is real! Be nice to the creators behind the table and even if you donβt got the $$ to spare, a kind word goes a long way.
We arenβt guests. At most of these conventions. Weβre customers.
I do very few shows each year, and usually one or two will comp me a table - but nothing else.
Cons ALWAYS are a money loss for me.
I only do it to reconnect with folks and promote books.
