Thar's another convention on the horizon! Unfortunately, no, for me it's not MoCCA, which is this weekend in New York. I'm a bit bummed I'm not going this year, but it was too close to the one I'm going to next weekend ...

And conventions always bring up the age old question - what to pack, how to pack it, how to get it on a plane/train/car, and, ultimately, how to display it at the show. So for the next couple of posts, I'd like to dip into my past table displays at conventions, see what I've done, and dream up something new in time for Stumptown. So I present to you a photo collection of my past table displays through the years ... some got lost in the shuffle, but here are the ones I could scavenge ...

2003

: The Small Press Expo (SPX) in Maryland, 2003 - Aww, first convention!

With my pals Matt & Lauren. Not a good view of the table but aww - sentimental. No selling - just giving away free postcards alerting people to my comic, Gods & Undergrads.

2004

The usual lamp, minicomics, and candy available. Help selling from my friend Nick Prevas!

Now there are THREE Gods & Undergrads books, minicomics, and boxes that contained buttons.

My first craft show! I added framed prints and buttons into the mix.

2006

Again, framed prints in the mix, as well as buttons and more professional looking minicomics. On the left - the lovely Craig Bostick. On the right - Mike DiMotta!

2007

My stuff's on the right, in front of a bored Matt. Tabling with Tim is one of my greatest convention pleasures.

Manservant Matt AND Mike DiMotta! This was the year we were blessed with the natural lighting and breeze of the airy 7th floor. Viva la Magical Airship!
