So here I am, the summer is winding down, I have been to England, I have been to Mini Meet East Meets West, and now I come to final part of this adventure- San Diego Comic Con. I have been to San Diego many times, and to Comic Con once before, but this time I am going not as a complete fanboy, but as a fledgling cartoonist. I know I have so much to learn, so much I need to understand. While I like the direction the strip is taking, I’m still struggling with the art. I need to improve how I draw and ink. I’m rushing myself and it shows. But today I took a look at the program for Thursday and Friday. I am overwhelmed. Unlike a Mini Event where it was kind of loose, there is so much going on. One thing that I torn about is the Eisner Awards. part of me really wants to attend and experience it, but then I saw that this documentary is going be shown at the same time. I really like Jeff Smith’s work. I’ll make a decision but it won’t be an easy one. If you have never read- Bone I highly recommend it (another comic books you should be reading cache). My students are a little apprehensive, but soon they are hooked.
I just went back to read the post on Boneville and it looks like the DVD will be available at the Con along with some new Bone t-shirts. There are a few places I need to make sure I stop by on Wednesday night to guarantee I can get the stuff they have… the list keeps getting longer.
