Love too but can't... and sadly may not ever again. Partly because it is not the same convention it used to be.
It is an amazing convention and I had a great time both times I went. I do recommend it for anyone who lives close enough to it.
Heck! Even if you don't have a pass you can still hang out outside and take photos of the cosplayers, enjoy the outside promo booths and events, even accidentally run into some celebrities.
Not to mention a ton of off-site events comiccongeek.wordpress.com/sdc… and of course the creator-owned show TR!CKSTER trickstertrickster.com/. (I do recommend Tr!ckster for those fans of independent artists like me)
Taking into account how much it cost to go to it, the ease of scoring a place to stay and let's not forget the new lottery to get tickets - it really is not worth it for a low-level freelance artist like me to go to - as a fan or professional.
Even professionals are saying how it is becoming too big and impersonal like a trade show rather than a fan event.
I think it is sad that I will have to now look for conventions that are "like SDCC use to be".

Forced E-Retirement
This is just another nail in the coffin of my good old iMac.
Google has decided to retire any support for my reliable work-horse of a machine as of this week - and this is a pretty impact because of all the google-based sites and programs people routinely use.
Previously this year it was Skype and before that it was tumblr.
All the warning I got when it happened was a big middle-finger and F*** YOU from them when I tried to log in.
I am very reluctant to part with this computer because it was the first art-dedicated machine I bought with my money earned as an artist.
This planned obsolescence is crap because most updates are just feature
Decisions... decisions...
I have been on Deviantart for just over 10 years... wow.
I started as a lurker and after a couple of years decided to up my game and actually post stuff.
I was such a eager little art newbie that my ego exceeded my talent but I didn't know any better at the time.
Now it is more like the opposite with so many great artists here to inspire and drive me to get better and in turn people who actually say I inspire them.
Wow.
But now we got a whole lot more than Deviantart to rely on.
Facebook, twitter, instagram and tumblr allow us artists to find and share great art - in fact Deviantart allows us to upload to some these sites and more (goog
Becalmed - a personal update
Sorry for not being very active online lately but had to deal with a few things lately that never fails to take the wind out of my artistic sails when they happen.
My brother is staying at home right now and should soon be getting his skull back together in a couple of weeks. His rehabilitation is coming along well but he still acting very impulsive and reckless. I will feel better when he has a whole skull in place to protect his brain from injury.
My mom is fully recovered from her quadruple bypass surgery but she still has the issue which lead to her heart attack in the first place. Ablation took care of the messed up signals but now sh
Sketchy party - all spots are filled.
Thanks for all the requests people!
The first 9 spots have been paid for and the remaining people who have asked for a sketch commission should have already gotten their confirmation email from me.
From this point on any additional requests will be put on a standby list and will be notified if I can manage the extra workload comfortably.
