Mid-Ohio-Con was a blur of goodness. Roger Price had one of those rare shows that, as a creator, was just so friendly. Big name to little name, you felt special and part of the Con Family. James Henry, new owner, has managed quite a feat in continuing that without missing a beat. If anything, that Con Love has just gotten better.
Actually, this was my twentieth Mid-Ohio-Con. Of course, I started coming when I was in high school, but still, that's a long run. I only missed a couple when I was at art school.
But, back to this show. I've mentioned elsewhere that sales were great. The guests were great, friendly, and I got to spend some time with more than a few of them. Hopefully I'll post some pictures of that soon. And it was just too cool to see the Con Crew walking around in Amazonia t-shirts. I know some of that is because of my special reationship with the show, but still, it seems like Love and Capes is really gaining some traction.
I also did a webcomics panel with Wes Molebash, Chris Eliopolous, and
I participated in the MOC Sketch Jam, where we did drawings on a stage that would be later auctioned for charity. I did an Amazonia sketch that came out pretty well, especially for a drawing done early in the morning and on an easel, to boot.
And my Captain Hammer shirt was quite the hit. In fact, I had people complaining that they had "Everyone's a Hero in Their Own Way" stuck in their head after seeing me. So I flexed the deltoids of compassion and sang a couple lines of "A Man's Gotta Do What a Man's Got to Do" to get a different song stuck in their head.
I live to serve.
There's still more to write, and I'll be parceling that out over the next couple of days. Hopefully a couple more sketch scans will come through, and I was interviewed on the Comics Related podcast. As soon as that goes live, I'll let you know.
