I went to Mid Ohio Con and had a blast. I shared a table with Layla Lawlor, (bless her heart for
sharing!) and — despite my worst fears — broke even on the whole weekend. We had this spiffy
new idea where six artists — Paul Sizer, Pam Bliss, Matt Feazell, Layla, Sean Bieri and I —
all contributed art to this “Small Press Passport”. If you got all the artists to sign the
Passport, you got a free sketch. The response was great, especially since Sean hand-pulled (!)
all the covers with silver ink, and they really did look like passports!

And then we repaired back to Pam and Nick’s room and laughed like a pack of howler monkeys
at their Hearse brochures. Uh… you just had to be there.
