Back from SPX 2005
Howdy, folks.
Well, I'm back. I've been a little under the weather for the past couple o' days but am feeling a bit better today. Here's what I know ... there's a fabo new piece of fan(tastic) art posted on the site. The new book was pretty well received by those who took the time to check it out at the show. The new t-shirts were a smash. It confirms that I should do the mini that will accompany it. I was invited to submit work to 2 anthologies ... the first one is a horror/humor book from Wide Awake Press and the second one is, I believe, going to be called Farm Fuck (a book about barnyard sex) and is also a humor book. I'm very much looking forward to working on pieces for both of these.
Once again I didn't make any money at the con. I took in $24. Of course, part of my lack of cash inflow was that I was generous with the books. I gave away a lot of them. I traded for some great books too. I'm still going through them so I really shouldn't say which ones I liked best. Ah what the hell, I got some great books from J. Chris Campbell, a cool one from Duane Bellenger (both of those guys are with Wide Awake Press), Marc Palm's book (the guy that did the new fan art), Hans Rickheit (Chrome Fetus Comics), great stuff from the folks at Mental Note Press (check 'em out), Mort Grim from Adhouse Books (kicks serious butt), Out of Water by Matthew Bernier, Zombies and Broken Hearts by Matt Delight and Kevin Cross, Justin Hall's True Travel Tales #4, a book called The Gift (I'm sorry but there's no creator info on the book ... too bad because it's a GREAT little book), The Death of J.D. Salinger (Scott Ellingburg and Frank McVay), In A Lonely Place by Jeff Sharp, Family Tales (a fantastic book by Eamon Espey), The Probe (a cool mini by Damien Jay), Diamonds by Jamie Tanner, and the list goes on and on. Like I said, I haven't gotten to all of the books yet. I apologize to anyone that isn't on this list yet. It just means that I've not had an opportunity to read your book.
Teri and I enjoyed most of the museums and landmarks that we had time to take in. Some weren't quite as spectacular as I'd envisioned (that's my own damned fault for expecting too much). The people were really great at the show and in the DC area in general. There were only a couple of crabby folks and luckily we didn't run into them until our last day there.
Yer pal,
El Crud
