N.I.C.E 2013 post match analysis!

Wowzers, finally found time to come up for air after a looooooooooooog weekend of conventioning in Bedford at the Northants International Comic Exhibition. Photos and sketches from the event are going up over at my tumblr, but here are a few breif thoughts:

-Lots of visitors to our table, which is always a bit of a releif! A big hello to everyone who stopped by to chat to us and let us waffle on at you about comics, and an even bigger thank you to those of you who came away with purchases! I hope you enjoy them and do please get in touch if you enjoyed them, it would be great to hear some feedback!

- Lots of comics fans bringing their kids along to expereince comics, some for the first time. Some were bigger into cartoons and some were more into the movies, but for most of them they were all just interchangable parts of the same thing - it was the characters that seemed to be the most important thing, not neccesarily which version at this stage in their expereince I hope there will be lots more titles to cater to these guys in the future! 

- Lots and lots of sketching! We were giving away free sketches with purchase of our comics, which seemed to be a popular deal. In fact, part of me wonders if next time we should offer free comics with every sketch! Poor spent sunday pretty much with his head in his commission paper, so long was his list of sketch requests from keen fans of his work!

- Final thought for now: If the organisers hold it in N.I.C.E in Bedford ( in Bedfordshire) again, will they have to rename it to B.I.C.E? :S
