I realized I never posted this.

Todays Song: Jeremie Albino “Rolling Down The 405”

This was an ad I made for the 2025, Eddie P Con in Pittsburgh, PA.

I wanted to experiment with running city specific advertising via social media platforms. I think it worked out alright. I don’t know if it brought any more people to the convention, but a lot of people I had given my comics to recognized my art in Pittsburgh, even though I’d never been there before. I really just want to have as many people read my dumb comics as possible. So that’s a win for me.

Got that Sacramento Airport iconic Red Rabbit in there. Pittsburgh’s airport also has a mascot, it’s a big ass dinosaur that people throw money in like some sort of deranged wishing well.

Making the scanner x-ray blast with a colored Kirby crackle was way more difficult than it should have been. I had 20 layers of color between the blast and making it affect the lettering. Then a robot font in that old green crt screen color that was sort of legible to read took multiple layers as well.

Then the ad for all the future garbage I had brought with me. I made a limited edition print of 10 for the show of the cover to Wizard Magazine #40 featuring the Cartoonist Kayfabe gang which sold a whopping ZERO copies of. So if you want one, I have ‘em. They’re no selling out, due to lack of demand.

I made some free sketch cards for Eddie P Con, I drew a few of them but I think people felt weird taking them, even though they were free.

The second panel I like a lot. This is exactly why I don’t fly Southwest.

The third is how most conventions have gone for me. All excitement and ideas and then no sales or interest. But for this convention I was more than ready, I watched 45,193 hours on comic and anime convention booth videos on youtube and thousands more image searches and idea stealing. I’ll post about that another day, if anyone cares.

I was really happy how this strip/ad turned out overall. I drew it on a much smaller scale in because it was for an Instagram ad which is why there’s some pixelation.
