Last week I attended the Small
Press and Alternative Comics Exposition in Columbus as an artist. I have had a table at SPACE for many years,
and I enjoy the con even more now than I used to. There’s something really neat about seeing
the work of people working on their own projects, even if these projects have
varying success. Some ideas just aren't
too commercial, and some are not marketable for profit, but the SPACE is more
about people putting their dream on paper (or the internet) than artists
pulling in loads of cash.
I picked up some new comics at
SPACE, though I didn't make the rounds as much as I would have liked to. The traffic was pretty steady is light, but
that’s usually true of SPACE, and I was rather engrossed in drawing and having
fun conversations with those around me and folks who stopped by. Everyone was so very friendly and there’s a
sense of camaraderie that abounds at SPACE that’s very nice.
I thank everyone who bought or traded stuff, or just stopped to chat. I’ll have some comments and reviews of the stuff I picked up, as well as the SPACE anthology and this year’s OH, Comics anthology in the coming weeks. I have so much to say, and I really have to get around to typing more comments to post here.
