MID OHIO CON REPORT (sort of)

Last weekend was MID OHIO CON, the last stop on the TWO STROKE INVASION TOUR for this year.
Because I was lazy and didn’t snap that many good pix, I’ll post these links to others who did a good job of covering the con better than I ever could, including 9 year old Layne Toth, who got hired by THE PULSE to do a con report, and did a kick ass job:

I had a good time, got to hang out and spend good quality comic jam time with the Cornwhackers and sold a decent amount of books. This con was more profitable for doing commision sketches, but that’s cool too. I did a really big drawing of THE DEFENDERS for Dan “The Sketchbook Man” Frazier, which I was proud of, but which nearly gassed out everyone in the Pam Bliss’ hotel room when I colored in the background with a really stinky big black marker (sorry guys)! Here’s the drawing and the sketch:

MUSIC OF THE MOMENT:
Goldfrapp: “Supernature” Holy crap, if you want your female retro 80’s electro album, screw Madonna’s new CD and listen to this! Good stuff!!!
Man Parrish: His first album is now on i-tunes, and yes, I’m in a retro electro phase, and this really takes me back.
Tiefschwarz: “Eat Books” Good weird catchy electropop, the song “Damage” features Tracy Thorn from Everything But The Girl on vocal, and it kicks ass!
Ivy: “Long Distance” Ethereal alt-girl pop, brave enough to do a good cover of the Blow Monkey’s “Digging Your Scene”
