when Nickelodeon bought the building next door and expanded the studio in Burbank, they placed quotes from former creators around the campus.

This one from my all time favorite Nick show The Adventures of Pete and Pete is like the blueprint I strive for in my own writing.

Yo ECCC artists! how was today compared to last year’s Thursday? Sales up? Down? How’s foot traffic? Did you move more books or more prints? Original work? Or an established IP that is not your own (fan art)?

No judgements! Just industry talk! Tell me how you did!

I think it was 2011 or 2012, but I rewatched firefly right after rewatching cowboy bebop. That was the year I stopped liking firefly

It’s likely the artist behind that ECCC table paid at least

$450 for the table
$500-700 for lodging
$150 (+) for food/drink
$300+ for merch.

The financial risk is real! Be nice to the creators behind the table and even if you don’t got the $$ to spare, a kind word goes a long way.

My amazing friend Kel McDonald has a kickstarter for their new futuristic vampire comic book. I adore Kel's work (if you're a sicko werewolf fan, you'll love them) so I'm pumped for this new one and if you can send some support, it'd be really appreciated. www.kickstarter.com/projects/149...

this is also bad for the people doing the shows on the stage because they need to compete noise wise with a big crowd! Sucks for everyone!
