Convention Planning

Alex Heberling

Earlier today, I got the notice from the C2E2 organizers that I’m on the list to get a table this year.Ā  Though not in the Artist Alley;Ā  apparently they have a new thing called the Webcomics Pavillion, so if I accept and throw my money at them, that’s where I’ll be.

I haven’t really decided if I’m going at all, but I have until January 11th to decide.Ā  It’s $425 for the table and two badges, which is a LOT.Ā  That’s about twice the amount I pay to exhibit at the most expensive cons on my schedule.Ā  I’ve heard positive things about C2E2, but it may not be in the cards.

I’m also curious if there’s a price difference between Webcomics Pavillion and the Artist Alley proper, but I can’t seem to find a cached version of the 2010 Artist Alley application.Ā  If I don’t go to C2E2, I will hopefully get to that part of the country for Wiscon in Madison, WI over Memorial Day weekend.Ā  I’m very interested in checking them out, and we’ve got friends who live there, so it would be pretty affordable.

UGGGH this was so me in college.Ā  Just replace “midterm project” with “art history paper."Ā  Doing projects for my art classes was no big deal, but those GECs brought out the domestic goddess in me like no other.

APE IN A CAPE: If You Are Openly LGBTQ And You Make Comics…

Or know someone great who is and does, I would appreciate hearing from you. Just a short bio on your work, and a link, if you have one, would be lovely.

Itā€™s for something cool, but I donā€™t want to give away too much yet, while we are still in the very early stages. No one will be solicited or…

I’m Alex Heberling, bisexual/queer, and I’ve been doing webcomics for 7 years this January.Ā  I currently draw an autobiographical comic called Alex’s Guide, and before that, I did Garanos, a fantasy comic.Ā  I’m also currently developing a new series called The Hues that will feature a deliberately diverse cast, a teaser of which can be seen here.
