What a MegaCon weekend. After driving from Tampa to Orlando, staying there for 2 nights and spending 3 days at Megacon, selling prints, talking to people, sketching all day and I ended up pretty much spending as much $$$ as I earned this weekend.

What does this mean? I can chalk it up to either a bad economy, not enough buyers or maybe I'm not producing something that people want.

You know what's funny? This is the first time I've actually considered that question. What does the comic book buying convention attendee want? Besides free stuff, that is...

To be honest, I don't know.

Write me your thoughts on this. Javier@JLugoGraphics.com is the address or add a comment below. Tell me, when you go to a convention, what are you looking for? Props, comics, original art, prints, key chains, unique comic books, sketchbooks, sketches, DVD's, posters, fuzzy plush dolls?

Feel free to forward this message to your friends as well, because the more information I can get the better I can prepare for the next conventions.
