Bramble Vine Comics

Day one of the Small Press Expo is now complete. I think things went pretty well for my first time. I got to meet some awesome cartoonists and got some good feedback on my books. I sold a few books and a bunch of pins, so things are looking good. It's a great feeling to have people flipping through my work and hearing them laugh out loud at my cartoons. It's been an amazing experience so far. Tomorrow is the big day with a full 9 hours of show floor time.

After working the SPX show floor for a few hours I got some better ideas on laying out my books and promo material on the table. I notice that people are more likely to flip through the books if they are laid out on the table near the front instead of having them just on the racks in the back. Tomorrow I'll redesign the layout and see if that helps to get more people taking a look. I had a lot of people glancing at the covers, but not as many picked them up to have a look. But, almost everyone that did flip through bought something. I need to up the flipping ratio tomorrow.
