Finally, after many years of wanting to, I attended a comic convention not as an attendee, but as a guest and vendor.

Andrew Leung, owner of Toy Fusion and ToyWorth was nice enough to have me as a guest artist at his booth at Sac-Con on the weekend of March 12th and 13th, 2016. I wasn’t expecting to do much really, other than draw, pass out business cards and postcard samples, and see if anyone would pay for a sketch or one of the pieces of original art I’d brought. With sketchbook and portfolio in hand, I set up and awaited the Sacramento masses.

I spent most of my time drawing, talking to folks who’d stop by to check out my artwork, and eventually, on the last day, I sold a Superman sketch to a young boy that loved Superman and two pieces of original art. For me, this con was a test run, to see how the crowd would react to my work and to see what I might need to do to make the most of attending my next convention. One thing is for sure: reaction was great, so printed saleables are a must for next time.

Here are the better sketches I did at Sac-Con.
