Ah, San Diego Comic-Con.
Inspiring and tiring. I met so many new friends, bought a TON of art books and t-shirts (more Top 5 posts from Comic-Con will be coming through the week) and I actually managed to get some work done on Petra’s Call during the trip, including some drawing on the plane (turbulence + Wacom tablet = [sad face])

Top 5 Things to Remember at Comic-Con:
– Buy water and food at a grocery store, not on the floor (it’s expensive and sucks)
– Line-ups and crowds are a fact of life at Comic-Con. Going to comic-con and complaining about line-ups is like going on a cruise and complaining about water.
– The iPhone Comic-Con app is the best thing EVAR. Even if you aren’t there, it’ll help you search for twitters so you can vicariously be at Comic-Con.
– 99% of pros at Comic-Con are normal people – don’t be afraid to say hi (the remaining 1% are total nutters though – be afraid, very afraid.)
– Don’t be distracted by 50% discount bins – Did you spend over $2000 on flights, hotels and food to save a few hundred dollars on graphic novels?
