Sam and I will be attending the New England Webcomics Weekend. This is a first of it’s kind, never before attempted, webcomics-only artist show and open-house. Like a mini convention without all the random T-shirt vendors and cosplayers (hopefully).
Just check out their guest list! With even more internet cartoonists in attendence. If this becomes a yearly thing, I’d reccommend it among the CAN’T MISS events each year.
Did I mention it’s free? Their FAQ vaguely mentions merch available from attending artists so conceivably there will be table space to sell from. I’ll have to confirm once we get there but free exhibiting table space would be a definite plus.
I’ll be recording much of the event for a video I plan to release on my blog Brainstormingcomics.com as well as on my Friday column at Newsarama.com.
Friday the only event is a Pub Crawl all over Northhampton Mass. Which we will miss unfortunately because we’ll be ass-deep in our road trip to get there.
Saturday and Sunday are packed with innovative and awesome events for geared towards the webcomics creator as well as the fans, as well as your standard panel discussions and a game room.
This is a landmark event in Webcomics history. See you there.
Just a reminder: Sam, Seth and I will be helping kids to make comics at the Indianapolis Marion County Public Library, downtown. The workshop is this Saturday, Feb 28th from 2-4pm. It’s geared for a younger crowdbut everyone is invited. Bring your kids, tell people at work, you don’t want to miss it. There will be paper, pens, markers, computers and laptops, everything you need to make comics. And trust me, you need to check out IMCPL’s Learning Curve facility in the library. It’s the kids/young adult section and is just about the coolest setup I’ve ever seen. We’ll even be using a room with floor-to-cieling dry erase boards to sketch on. I would have done anything for a library this cool, with these kinds of resources when I was growing up. It’s a short workshop but we’ll stick around a bit after the official time runs out to hang out a draw.
This is our first workshop, but if this goes well we hope to be doing these on a semi-regular basis with IMCPL, and other libraries as word gets out. Check back here to find out how it went if you can’t make it out. Maybe you can catch the next one!
