Stumptown 2013! Yeah! XD
30/4/13 15:43Stumptown is the independent comics fest held every year in Portland, and this year I was able to go yet again! Given my work crunch, I couldn't hang out all day every day like in all but one previous year, but I was able to go for two or three hours both days, and have dinner with out of town friends. :3
This year was the best Stumptown ever! Wonderful friends truly do make a big difference. While I am happy to wander the con alone, having![[profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
winnett join me on Saturday, and saladbats joining me for BOTH days was amazing. You find neat things to show each other, and laugh about, and deal with any stresses that might show up. Dinner afterwards on both nights with Karen and Chloe was incredibly fun, and they let me pick their brains about exhibiting at comic cons and being part of a comics collective and all sorts of fascinating comicy things. :3
( Specifics and lots of artist and webcomic links! XD )
Being around all those creative, welcoming people really has me recharged and excited about getting my original manga going. X3 I wanna have a table at Stumptown, too! Karen pointed out something interesting: while my anime-influenced artwork will (let's be honest) count against me being given a table at some cons, it will HELP me get a table at others. C: I am suddenly more optomistic. Yay!
I do believe I'm going to have to get a twitter. :3
