SPACE Race
A few updates on the SPACE front...
Flyers are done and printed. I've got a hundred, which should be more than enough for a small, one day Con. Frankly, flyers are only a moderately effective method of promotion, but any little bit helps, right? After all, I made sure to put my table number and website address (www.torcpress.com) on all the flyers, so maybe I score some business. Maybe not.
Also, got a new batch of t-shirts done. Again, I'm not really expecting to move any t-shirts, but if I do, than that's just icing on the cake. If I have leftover t-shirts that'll just be less to make afore Chicago anyway. I still can't believe I actually sold out of t-shirts at Chicago last year (course, I only brought three or four t-shirts with me...).
All I've got left to do is 1) Call up the hotel to request a late check-in, 2) Finish up the mountain of sketches that I'm working on, and 3) Procure some cash. The sketches are the only foreseeable problem, cause I try to do the best work I can on em, which takes time. Time is a luxury I ain't got right now.
In other news, while I was working on sketches for the Con last night, I was also watching more of Tatonato's "Carnivale" DVDs. Wooo! The mysteries are the main hook for me (just when you think you've got one thing figured out, something comes along and blows your entire perspective out of the water), but I gotta admit, the characters are quickly developing into more than just colorful Carney folk. Our heroes ain't all squeaky clean (Even the Man from Another Place displays his dark side in a couple of episodes), and our "villian" (or is he really the villian? Hmmmm....) isn't some foul, unredeemable beast (or at least not at first). I especially enjoyed the Babylon episodes (Was it a coincidence that the Babylon episode was Number 5?) because of their truly dark, supernatural nature. Gotta watch more.
