Mindy Indy is returning to Eternal Con in Long Island! I'll be at table 39 along with my writer friend Patrick McEvoy, and we'll be selling our comic "Other Realms!" I'll be sketching as usual, and as always please get your sketch orders to me earlier in the day. More show info:
If you're in Long Island, hope to see you there!
Eternal Con was a success! Except that I got turned around on the Long Island bus system and got there a half hour after show hours started. But I've traveled enough to remain calm and knew I'd get there eventually, and figured not many people would be there right in the morning. Wrong! There were so many people! I give credit to the people who organized this convention - they had a phenomenal turnout for it being the first show of its kind. I did well and was sketching a lot. I want to post pics, but I have a feeling I'm getting too busy with other work nowadays to spend so much time on recapping.
Oh yes, and the Aviation Museum seemed cool, even though I only saw like a corner of it. But the skylight windows were burning up me and my table. Luckily, I had a mini bottle of sunblock with me (or I'd get burned within 20 minutes). I was saved that day, but not on the next for Make It On Myrtle, where got burned while outside all day talking to people about the work shops. It was bound to happen eventually.
I designed this flyer and banner (below) for an awesome outdoor summer workshop: Make it on Myrtle! Workshops range from fixing your bike to brewing your own beer to making comics! My teaching session on comics will be July 7th from 2 to 4pm.
We hung the banners today at the location in Brooklyn. Found out there was random construction in the lot... hope it doesn't get in the way of the workshops. Anyway, classes are 2 hours each from 11am to 1pm, then from 2pm to 4pm. Register for a spot at www.myrtleavenue.org!
If you're in the Long Island area this Saturday June 15th, check out Eternal Con! I'll be there all day. Cheers!
This Saturday June 15th I'm in a new comic convention in Long Island NY: Eternal Con! The beautiful space of the Cradle of Aviation Museum will host this event with 2 floors of Pop Culture Madness! In addition to the huge vendor space they'll have raffles, giveaways, costumes, special guests, a car show in the parking lot, diorama contests, movie screening, full access to the Cradle of Aviation Museum (with paid admission) and much more! I kind of want to check out the museum, because I love outer space and stuff, but I'll be in Artist's Alley all day.
Cradle of Aviation Museum Charles Lindbergh Blvd. Garden City, NY 11530
You can get there by LIRR from Manhattan or Brooklyn for public transit, or by car if you have access.
Show hours are 10am - 6pm. Admission is $14 adults and $12 for kids under 12. Free parking! Hope to see you there, and please spread the word!
I LOVE double rainbows! I've seen some before and yes, they are very intense. I learned about how rainbows occur in a "Naked Eye Astronomy" class in college (stuff you can see without a telescope), but you can also learn more here.
