A weekend ago, I was invited by the owner of our local comic shop (White Crow Comics) to set up a table as a creator at the “White Crow Comicon”, a small show that they have taken over operation of (recently called the “Eastern Kentucky Card and Collectables Show”).  It was my first time on “the other side of the table”, and I had the chance to meet (and make) some new fans, banter with other table-jockeys and artists, and generally have a good time.  The crowd was small, but enthusiastic, and I was happy that I had enough material to fill up a table (actually, I didn’t have room to set everything up, much to my relief).  Here’s a shot of the table, and me, at the beginning of the show.

As I said, I had a great time meeting folks and wound up selling quite a few comics, having some “state of the industry” chats with comic store owners, and in the end, made a profit.)  Not a bad way for my first show to go, eh?  I also found out that our local university has a troupe of “Light Saber Duelists” who practice with some pretty awesome sabers and pull off some darned nice shows.  I shot a picture of an improvised fight with a rather competent Jedi…

I’ll be doing a larger show in Lexington this coming weekend (thanks for sharing a table, Rene!), so we’ll see how that one goes!
