NY Comic-Con Journal: Day 3
Go elsewhere if you want pointless snark-for-snark’s sake or ill-informed whining from people who didn’t attend the show, because while there were definitely many things that went wrong this weekend, the final result was undeniable: NY Comic-Con was a huge victory for the industry. Not just the usual suspects, either, as I believe Reed’s success

The article I mentioned a couple of days ago, on the BOTS sketchbook, is up now: Artists, Robots Team Up to Raise Funds for Autism Research. It’s a bit of personal background, Nic Carcieri talking about how the project came about, and some cool samples from the book itself. Was pulling it together helpful to
