Dragon*Con 2013: Not Great, but Good Enough

Well, Dragon*Con 2013 is over and I have to report that, while it wasn't as successful as GenCon, I did, technically, turn a profit, so, all-in-all, I can't complain.  This was my first time working my own table in the Dealer's Room and the first time the Dealer's Room was located in the AmericasMart convention center instead of one of the downtown hotels (this particular area in the AmericasMart, anyway), so it was a con full of firsts for everyone.  While the new Dealer's Room still has a few kinks to be worked out, for the most part, I believe that the move was a good one and I will continue to support it by going back again next year.  My last two appearances at D*C were in the Art Show and I'll admit that, while I'm glad to be away from the odd politics of that particular venue, I did feel the loss of the Art Show auction rather significantly.  As such, it is my current plan to submit to the Art Show next year, despite appearing in the Dealer's Room, in hopes that I can continue to make a showing in the auction.  We'll see how that goes in 2014.

Thanks to Ruth Thompson's Tarnished Images and Echo Chernik for getting me into the show this year, and to all the fans, both old and new, who came by my table to make a purchase, request a commission, or just say hello.  I love and appreciate your continued support of my humble artistic efforts.

I have dropped Origins Game Fair from my list, so, for now, next year's con-schedule consists of GenCon and Dragon*Con.  I will be looking for other shows within reasonable driving distance of Atlanta to attend and will announce those as they're added.  Two in early consideration at the moment are Spectrum Art Live in Kansas City, MO, and IlluXCon in Allentown, PA.  Make sure to keep an eye on my Facebook and Twitter feeds for announcements regarding any new appearances for 2014.  If you know of a convention or art show that you think I should consider, let me know, below.

Until then,

Was great to see you at Dragon*Con. Glad to hear you'll be there next year. I was glad to buy some prints from you. They're gonna look great on my wall. Look forward to buying prints from you next year. The upstairs dealers room was laid out in a very confusing manner to me. At one point I got lost for an hour trying to re-find where you were after finding you at the start of the convention.
