So I attended the Alternative Press Expo in San Francisco last week, October 16-17.
I had fun attending the various workshops and seminars for comic creators, which was my primary purpose.
While there, I decided to acquire as many artist cards as I can (artist cards are basically small pieces of original art, the main purpose of which is to trade among other artists). I created several before the con and drew a few more while I was there. I created a bunch of custom cards with APE info in the back, blank fronts and passed them around. Unfortunately, I was unable to return to the show on Sunday and missed out on picking some up (if you have a card for trade, email me!).
All of these are 2.5″ x 3.5″ on watercolor paper.
Here’s a scan of the cards I was able to get.
