Adventures in San Francisco early last month. I met some amazing artists and did really well. I'm so glad that my silkscreen stuff were well received and inspired me to really do more. I appreciate and grateful to everyone who stopped by my table, chatted, and got my stuff...
If you missed my stuff there and at Comic Arts Brooklyn, I have them on sale online now.
Last Gasp has a great write up and photo set.

APE 2014 Postmortem
There's nothing quite like the Alternative Press Expo. Despite receiving almost no attention or promotion from its parent company, Comic-Con International (yes, "that" Comic-Con) it is still San Francisco's best showcase for independent comic creators.
This was my third year exhibiting, and while the new venue took some getting used to, the show was as good as its ever been. I shared a table with the talented and charming James Lantz, met the amazing C. M. Butzer and Megan Lynn Kott and even got to kick it with Mel from Cake & Comix, my table-mate from last year.
Every time I visit San Francisco it seems like there are fewer artists and 24 hour donut shops and more and more Office Space dot com guys and overpriced boutique artisanal toast shops. But the city still smells like urine and weed and that's something not even Mark Zuckerberg and his $10 million Mission District house can change.
Anyway, I have a handful of 8.5x11" prints leftover that I'm going to be putting up in my online shop, so keep an eye out for those.

Attended APE (Alternative Press Expo) this weekend in San Francisco. This year the event was held at a new location, the Fort Mason Center. We drove in over the Bay Bridge and found easy parking along the marina. The Festival Pavilion was a short walk away. Food trucks were on hand, and there is a Safeway located about a block away, with a nearby park.
The arrangement inside was good, with plenty of room between the rows of tables for people to maneuver. The side doors were open, allowing people to go outside for fresh air, with great views of the Golden Gate bridge, Alcatraz and Fisherman's Wharf/Pier 39.
We came back with a good haul of prints and commissions. Overall, we liked the new location, and are looking forward to going back next year.
I'm pleased with my haul from APE this year. The horror panel was pretty interesting too!
