Web and Mini Comics Thing = win

Besides badges, Itch was on hand to sell Leek and Sushi, Amaranth and Final Blossom, as well as some original art by Karen Rubins. We did very well, so well I sold out of Leek and Sushis. Sorry to anyone disappointed, please consider picking one up from the web-shop.

It could just be me, but I would say this was the best Thing yet, with regards to the quality and variety of stuff on sale. I met many new faces with cool things, but many don’t seem to have websites for me to point to. Come on, you guys! It’s the 21st Century, you don’t exist if you don’t have a website!

Exception: Moogs Kewell, who sold stickers, jewellery and cute little things. I wanted to eat her stuff, check out her etsy site if you’re into cute.

There was some talkin’ and dealin’ with regards to future Itch publications in the dark alleys outside the event, and although I don’t want to go into details, I feel confident in telling you Itch will continue to bring you the best in home-grown manga and comics in the months to come.

My attempts to take photos once again failed miserably. Luckily, the ever-reliable Zip Gun Comics guys have photos. The only sharp photo I managed to take all weekend was a photo of our Cool Bean-creating badges. Some of them were hand-drawn by me and Kaz, and some featured tiny little naked people. Because nudity is always funny.

ITCH at the THING!

(I did take some pictures at the event but they all came out too dark to see. This is some of the stuff we had on the table.)

ITCH’s first official outing can be called a success. I joined my collaborator Kaz Rubins at the Web and Mini Comix Thing on Saturday 22 March (Easter Saturday).

The event was intimate but fairly well visited. We sold our new comic The Witch to many people and both of us also bought lots of comics and chatted to other comickers. Our table was at the back, opposite our friends from Comic Works, and next to the inimitable Tozzer (/Peckerwood).

The hall was kind of cold and there was no coffee for miles, but most of the brave exhibitors stuck it out to the very end, as did we.

It was a good day, thanks to everyone who talked to us or even bought something. And no, there are no refunds for that minicomic. You were warned.
