Comic Con was amazing. It lived up to the hype. I got the opportunity to attend at the last minute, and because I've always wanted to go, I went. I had transportation problems (engine light going on? keep going!) hotel problems (why does San Diego have such poor street lighting in the burb areas?) and ticket problems (whether it was the hotel maid or just our own stupidity, one of the precious passes went missing Sunday morning) but despite all this, I had an incredible time.
The main thing I realized is that there is a market for the odd little things I do. I'm not limited to Etsy, or Ebay. I saw sellers putting out stuff that I could easily see coming out my own Wacom tablet, or sketchbook. They weren't afraid. Why am I?
I was really inspired by the panels on webcomics and I can definitely see myself putting one out. The consensus seemed to be that you need Wordpress with specialized add ons like Comicpress but I am thinking of hosting mine right here. I'm used to Blogger....and I have a history here.
I'm thinking it over, doing some sketches, and working it out in my mind first.....but I really want to do it. The crazy monsters in my head are eager to be released....daily.
Oh, and the engine light? $2400 worth of transmission work, naturally. That's a lot of t-shirts, prints and stickers. I better get crackin'.
