Terribly Comforting Food [Comic]
Posted March 18, 2013 at 12:00 am
I don't know why, but I find maul Chinese food to somehow be comforting.  It is terrible and tastes nothing like real Chinese food.  But I still can't completely hate on it.

NO SPX FOR ME


Small Press Expo is one of my favorite shows of the year.  The attendees are always on the hunt for new comics.  The exhibitors wear their love of comics on their sleeve.  The vibe is so energetic, it makes you want to do comics always.  Fucking love this show.

Yesterday was SPX table registration day.  Usually, it's in the beginning of March.  You fill out your form, mail in a check, and hope you make the cut. This year, they wanted to modernize the process and spent an extra few weeks testing out a new online system.

It didn't quite go as planned.

Sadly, I, along with some fellow locals, was unable to register for tables.  By the time things were somewhat sorted, they were already sold out.  This is great for SPX because it means that more and more creators want to do the show.  But for those of us who have supported it for a few years now, it completely blows.  It's going to be increasingly more difficult to get in to a show I love so dearly.

I'm half seriously considering renting a big ass vehicle of some kind and selling comics out of it, food truck style.  It sounds like an absolutely stupid idea which means it probably needs to happen.  We'll see how things pan out this week.  They're still trying to sort out who did and didn't get their payments in on time.

Now excuse me while I cry into my terrible Chinese food.

This video is sort of a subtweet about some art twitter discourse. But I wanted to respond in video form rather than in written form so that you wouldn't misinterpret my words. Also not linking the discourse directly because I don't want to dogpile on the inspiration for my thoughts. But here are three ideas that I wanted to share with artists for us to keep in our brains as we go into the new year.
