Wizard World 2007
I sketched these at the hotel in ink, so I apologize for the errors and odd placement of things. It was a great convention, and very good for me. I didn't get anyone offering me any contracts, but I got the next best thing: positive reactions to my portfolio, requests for more, and the possibility of future projects. Relationships are how this industry is built, or so I'm told.
Another highlight:
The Elevator of Celebrity. I was heading out to dinner with writer Ben Avery. The first time we waited for the elevator to arrive, Lou Ferrigno stepped out. One of the guys who were there waiting yelled, "Lou Ferrigno!" He grinned and said, "Why don't you say that a little louder, guys?" The next time we walked aboard, Michael Madsen ("Reservoir Dogs") and his wife (?) were there. He said he had been wondering whether that theory about jumping at the last moment before the elevator crashes would work. Fortunately, we didn't have to test it, but there was a lot of fanboy weight in there.
