Self-Publishing: Going to Comic Con
Self-publishing: Table at Comic Con
My brother Andy suggested we do a pre-set up.
T-shirts on racks; posters by Ian G.; posters in frames; and books with business cards in front.
Hidden is a price list, calculator, and cash box.
This was not only the first time with a table at Comic Con but my first time ever going to a Comic Con, so I wasn’t sure what to expect.
Our table: caedar-writing-artwork.com
This my stressed out look because I have no idea what’s going to happen now that we’re here.
I have to say the other vendors were very helpful and I learned a great deal from their displays.
This couple makes jewelry.
This group does live D&D weekends. www.LARP.ca
Knightmares and Daydreams

This couple were our neighbors and very friendly and very busy for most of the day.
We didn’t make a lot of money but we had a great time meeting people and other vendors. What we did learn was, most people who go to Comic Con want to buy books or comics of pre-established companies, such as, Marvel and DC. They want to be able to dress up like the characters they read about. Finally, we should have dressed up like the characters.
A table for 2 is more expensive (it was $100 for Kitchener Comic Con this year) but I would recommend you get a table for 2. When it’s slow you have someone to talk to and you have someone to watch the table if you need to use the facilities or take a lunch break.

Self-Publishing: Comic Con: T-shirts
For those who missed this Blog. Its a continuation of preparing for Comic Con with self-published books, T-shirts, and Posters.
Self-Publishing: Comic Con: T-shirts September 21, 2016
Kitchener Comic Con was April 2nd of this year. It was around February when I decided to get a table. Not a lot of time to design and order books, business cards, and T-shirts.
The more colours, the higher the cost; so I went with two colours for each T-shirt. Ruby is black and red (on a white T-shirt) and Sylvia is black and green (on a white T-shirt). I focused more on the artwork and less on the sayings.

Most people felt comfortable wearing the Sylvia T-shirts.
I went with 4imprint for the Sylvia T-shirts and R&S Screening Inc. for the Ruby T-shirts. Both these companies were great. They asked for a download of the art and lettering and e-mailed me a copy to make sure it was correct. PDF is generally accepted and the more pixels the better.
Some things to consider is: who will wear the T-shirts; is it the artwork or the logo and sayings that should be dominant; what are the preferred colours? What sizes are the most common and should they be generic or male and female and do you want T-shirts, polo-shirts, etc. printed.
Get a few T-shirts made if you can or print them yourself before doing it en masse. I had very little time to prepare; take your time to figure out what will sell.

Comic Con, Kitchener: Posters
September 19, 2016
If you are using artwork, the larger the reproduction the greater chance for graininess. A graphic artist can only do so much.
20×66” or 51×66 cm Poster 5.5×8.5” or 14×21.5 cm Book Cover
I was very lucky to have the posters done by Ian G. They’re photographs so the actual posters are brighter than what you see.
These pictures are from pre-display set-up (another Blog). The posters giver you a better idea of how they actually look.
What we found was that Ruby, when blown up past a certain point, looked grainy. Sylvia, because Randy (the artist) drew mostly her head on 11×14” (28×35.5 cm) paper whereas in Ruby, on the same size sheet, he drew the Queen’s entire body with background.
Ian made a number of samples and sizes. My brother Andy, put them up on a wall and asked people to say what they liked, based on first impression.
We also made 8.5×11” (21.5×28 cm) posters in both colour and black and white for Sylvia and Ruby with just colour.
Next Blog is designing T-shirts and getting them printed this coming Saturday…
