Anime Iowa 2010 Recap
Aug. 9th, 2010 11:31 pmIt's been quite a while since I've done a convention recap, but we had such a nice time I want to make certain to remember it. This was my 7th year selling comics in the Artist Alley, starting in 2003! I missed a year for some reason, and it's my 8th or 9th AI I've attended (because I went a couple times in college)
Kim and Maciek had a trip planned and couldn't make it out to AI this year, so Pete and I represented Studio Anti Thesis in the Artist Alley this year. We still had a decent Madison crew attending though. Allie and Lor always have their Rain Arc booth to attend, even though our projects often cross, and Ray has been enlisted as a booth babe for![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)

Several things about Anime Iowa; the con funk meter is pretty low, people are honestly happy to look at Tribute Waters, and almost Everyone is in costume all weekend. Crazy!
Seriously, thanks go to everyone who was willing to come by, take a look at my art and either read the comic in front of me, buy it or take a card (or two) to share. Strangely enough, many many people read my introduction on the front flap, and asked me about National Novel Writing Month. I will always maintain that anyone can write a novel, and anyone can learn to draw, and love being able to tell people that.
Pix!
I think I've gone to more conventions this year since like, ever, and more people bought TW at AI than they have at other cons. Is the economy improving? Was it because we only had Deverish and Tribute at the table this year? Inquiring minds want to know!
