Dear New York Comicon,
I love you. Honestly, I do. The last three years with you were amazing. A-mazing. Remember when my brother introduced us? It was love at first sight. You introduced to me to so many new things. Because of you, I’ve shaken hands some of my artistic heroes, found out about obscure comics I’d never heard about and met some new people. Hell, you even got me some awesome shirts. It was a blast.
And that’s what I mean…was.
This is kind of hard to write but here goes: I think we should break up.
There’s a new Tron Legacy trailer that premiered at Comic Con this week. It’s got some footage we’ve already seen, and some we haven’t. Yay!
David and I will have a table at the MOCCA Festival this saturday and sunday. M.O.C.C.A. stands for the Museum of Comic and Cartoon art. Lots of independent artists sell their comics, illustrations, toys and various other cool stuff at this venue.
The event will be held at 69th Regiment Armory @ 68 Lexington Avenue NYC. It starts at 11am on Saturday April 10th and we’re at table D2.
Both of us geeks will be selling various wares that we’ve created such as My Monster and Shapesmith Book, and David’s Little Guys short!!! We will also have a limited number of New York Geekcast posters to adorn your studio, bedroom or basement in your mom’s house.
And even if you don’t want to necessarily buy some of our awesome creations (Though why wouldn’t you?) you can still stop by the table and pick up a postcard, sticker, or just let us interview you about your love of comics and what you enjoy about MOCCA.
An article posted over on Examiner.com relates the passing of Sheldon Dorf, who founded what we know today as the San Diego Comic-Con.
“Why Shel Dorf in a menswear column? Because without his 39 year devotion to all things comics-related, comic books, and all the character-driven merchandise spawned therein, very well could have remained a disposable and passing childhood obsession instead of blossoming into the multi-billion dollar, cross-cultural market force that it is today.”
Shel Dorf, founder of Comic-Con, dies [Thanks, Kori]
