The Grand Comics Festival round-up: I had a great time hanging out with old friends and meeting new ones! As it was GCF's first year, I had no idea what to expect. Luckily, the weather was great, the space was bathed in natural sunlight and well-situated in Williamsburg. Pat Dorian did a great job organizing and promoting the festival, including making everything super easy for us. I sat next to my Three-Armed Squid cohorts Estrella Vega and Alden Viguilla. There was pretty good foot traffic throughout the weekend, yet not so much that you weren't able to see everyone's table or chat with the artists. I was so honored to be in the same room as all these amazing artists! I restrained myself from buying everything in sight, but I did make out with goodies from Andrea Tsurumi, Anuj Shrestha, Chris Butzer and Fay Ryu. Another bonus of attending these festivals is the residual inspiration you get from seeing all this great work. I'm totally revved up to make new things!
I hope we meet again next year, GCF!
