So this past three days was Wizardworld, and it was quite...interesting.
So I was a volunteer there this year, so Here's a recap.
People In Attendance :
Wrestling Star Virgil ( who was kind of depressing as he was getting rides from convention goers and staff members back to and from his hotel)
Margot Kidder ( LOIS LANE BITCHES)
Michael Turner ( Withcblade and Fathom Artist, CEO Aspen Entertainment)
Peter SteigerWald ( Colorists, Bigwig at Aspen Comics)
Marcus To ( Artist for "Cannon" by Aspen Comics)
Ethan VanSciver ( Green Lantern Rebirth Artist)
Peter David( Hulk Writer)
Bryan Hitch ( Ultimates Artist)
Now on to the Ironic stuff. Ben Dunn is the most known artist from Antartic Press Comics, and is the epitomy of sterotype American Manga. When he reviewed y Portfolio, he said I needed to have my art be more realistic. stare
Next, ws Rob Liefeld. Most everyone has heard me ranting about the high quality of his art theft. As I was getting my portfolio reviewed by an editor for RabidFrog Comics ( I s**t you not folks, RABIDFROG...weird, weird people) He was apparently looking at my art out of the corner of his eye. So After my review with RabidFrog, the editor I was speaking with asked me to bring photocopies to him the next day. SO that night Lynn ( Neko's Mom) graciously supplied me with said photocopies, and I gave a set to the RabidFrog Editors Saturday morning. Saturday afternoon as I was walkign around the Showroom floor Liefeld pulls me aside after taking some pictures with his fans ( yes the fact that he has fans scares me too), and asked for a set of my copies, saying he remembered me from the day before, and wanted a chance to look over my stuff. WHAT. THE. ********? So I'll let ya'll know how that turns out.
Oh yeah and RabidFrog? Turns out they're a christian comic book company. Once againWHAT. THE. ********?
Reviews None of the Reviews told me anythign that was really important other than Peter Steigerwald's review of my art. He told me to Work on Perspective, and anatomy.
Also Christian Comic Company RABIDFROG may ask me to work for them. they are currently reviewing all the submissions they got at the convention ( I'm betting a whopping grand total of 7) and will contact me shortly.

2 Snake Eyes and Scarlet G.I.JOE twopacks
