That was part of the problem in Kansas City, Herb Trimpe line was wrapping around in front of my table completely blocking my from anyone's line of view. Apparently none of the 70's Marvel fans connected with my B&W comic about gangsters and demons.<BR/><BR/>p.s. am I gonna see you in San Diego this year?brian hurtthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11670641351391210662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19500000.post-28445266055269880132007-06-20T06:37:00.000-05:002007-06-20T06:37:00.000-05:00Love the Batman sketch, and would've bought it but...Love the Batman sketch, and would've bought it but the thing is I have never met you, nor have I been to a convention that you have been to.<BR/><BR/>I just enjoyed DAMNED and lurk on your blog to find all this wonderful work that you post.<BR/><BR/>-mattMatt Schulerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16640647970070429762noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19500000.post-26707750594579347142007-06-17T19:53:00.000-05:002007-06-17T19:53:00.000-05:00That Batman sketch is terrific.

And I agree with Mike, a steal at that price.<BR/><BR/>That said...I have to inquire: were you wearing a button up shirt un-buttoned to the third button down? It's an old trick but always attracts the right kind of attention.<BR/><BR/>Also, try eating a sandwich at your table. Breaking for lunch is always a surefire way to attract a sketch-needing fan. The messier the sandwich the better. Make sure you have napkins.<BR/><BR/>Always sit beside an artist with a line-up and engage his/her fans in intelligent comic book related conversations. They inevitably stray to your table and sometimes even buy drawings. Plus the people standing at your table attracts more people to come see what all the standing is about.<BR/><BR/>Take cookies and offer them to people in exchange for standing in front of your table. They must stay for at least ten minutes or until two more people join.<BR/><BR/>I hope one or more of my helpful tips helps you have a funner time at Heroes Con.<BR/><BR/>Seriously, have fun in Charlotte.<BR/><BR/>best,<BR/>j.j.https://www.blogger.com/profile/03991012599188396707noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19500000.post-33818461020589344782007-06-14T22:52:00.000-05:002007-06-14T22:52:00.000-05:00makes no sense to me why you weren't able to sell ...makes no sense to me why you weren't able to sell that sketch.
