Hi all, I made the show again this year, I think this was my 9th year
at this con.  It was well worth the drive from Youngstown, Ohio (about
an hour and a half drive.)  I found a lot of great deals (thanks New
Dimension,) some great $1.00 books, I also filled in some holes in my
back issue collection of silver-age and bronze-age Marvel and DC.  I
loved seeing Holly and Jim at the Broadsword booth. I picked up lots of
back issues there (however, just try and find any of their early issues,
I only saw one dealer with #8 and/or under for sale.  I found it also
impossible to locate any issues of New Frontier or 300 (by DC). I loved
seeing all the toys and dvd stuff. And as usual the artists and indie
tables were entertaining and interesting.  I do agree that there seemed
to be fewer dealers at this show. I didn't go to any of the
panels...sorry, nothing seemed to interest me.  So until next year,
this aging 50ish comic book fan says "Thanks Pittsburgh and ... Go
Browns."

Hi Chrystal!

I'm Brad, and I'm coordinating the Pittsburgh Ghostbusters groups. On
of our mini groups went to the con and participated in the costume
contest. Do you have any pics of them? I put his email on the cc, so
let him know if you have any of his group. I missed the con this year
(my wife and son were ill), but hope to be in gear for next year.
Thanks!

Hey everyone, I was sent over to this site.
I was the girl wandering around as Dark Phoenix on Friday and the
original green Phoenix on Saturday.
Just thought I'd say hello and give a big thanks to anyone who happened
to compliment me on my costumes at the con.
also! myspace!
www.myspace.com/inthisworld

add meee!!! :) :)

It was good talking with you before the costume contest. Also, you
did a fantastic job running the Quick Sketch.

I had an amazing time this year. I was honored to be asked to help
with the anime costume judging and had a great time with the
Alienated Productions crew at the contest, panel and my last-minute
judge training. I had a lot of fun and look forward to doing it again.

I ended up spending more time at my booth than I had originally
anticipated, so I didn't get to see as much of the show as I usually
do, but I really enjoyed what I saw. The Quick Sketch is always my
favorite part of the show, and the Charity Auction was quite fun as
well. Tommy Castillo, Glenn Barbis and the other auctioneers should
be applauded for their efforts.

The show was exhausting, but a great amount of fun.

Am I missing something?  Do you have to be a MySpace member to view
the pics?  I sure as heck don't have one and don't want one because of
some of the people who troll MySpace (Can you say: my name is Chris
Hansen and I'm with Dateline NBC.)  Or am I just missing the link?

Thanks,

Rich

You do need to have a myspace account to view pics loaded on there, yes.

I also do not have a Myspace account. Can you please post the pictures
to the Group photo section?  Thanks!

Folks

Great news for our show for next year.

The New York Comicon will be back to February next year, so our show
shouldn't have the low attendence as it did this year. (lower than
normal).
  And as long as there are no playoff games, we should have a tremenous
show. So start telling your friends, and email all the artists you
know.

Tod

Another great show as far as I'm concerned.  My father was in the
hospital this year, so I was only able to attend the con on
Saturday, and for a brief time Sunday morning.  Despite working the
Expomart entrance as usual, I was still able to get away to see and
do some stuff that made the con as fun for me as it always is.

Someone posted about original art, and I'm definitely an original
art collector - primarily con sketches, but occasionally I'll pick
up a published page if it catches my eye and is within my budget.
My primary collection is based on Sandman's sister Death.  At this
years show I picked up...

Death sketch from Uko Smith
Death sketch from Talent Caldwell
Death sketch, and a Chewbacca cartoon from Katie Cook
Mary Marvel sketch from G.W. Fisher, which came with a FREE Rogue
sketch
And... a few others that I'm forgetting right now.

I think I'm up to between 80 and 90 pieces in my "Faces of Death"
collection now.

About the Judge: Glenn Wonsettler

Glenn Wonsettler has been part of the administrative team at The Andy Warhol Museum in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania as its Visitor Services Department Manager since August of 2004. Working closely with the Museum’s Educational, Curatorial and Marketing departments, he represents the visitors and patronage of The Warhol in all aspects of its function. He manages a staff of Gallery Attendants whose duties are to not only protect The Warhol Museums’ collection, but also to assist museum visitors with facts about the artworks on view while providing information about Warhol’s background and historical significance; setting them apart from typical gallery or museum security personnel.

 

A graduate of the BFA program at Slippery Rock University in 2002, Wonsettler concentrated in Painting, but also studied extensively in Photography and Ceramics. He participated in many Art Department clubs and activities as well as exhibited his work on multiple occasions at the campus gallery as well as in galleries throughout the region. He spent a semester studying at the Academy of Fine Arts and Design in Bratislava, Slovakia where he was able to exhibit his work and travel throughout the region. Wonsettler has also traveled extensively, both nationally and internationally, visiting countries such as Germany, Italy, France, and Japan and studying many of their renowned museum’s collections. He began work in art administration at the LaFond Gallery on Pittsburgh’s South Side as the Assistant to the Director before accepting his position at The Andy Warhol Museum.

 

Heavily active in the arts and art community to this day, now in Pittsburgh where he resides, Wonsettler has recently exhibited new works in group shows at several Pittsburgh institutions and galleries such as: Modern Formations Gallery, Space and The Andy Warhol Museum. He is currently preparing for an exhibition later this year.

Hey folks.  How about starting a list of creators you would like to
see at the 2009 Pittsburgh Comicon.  The upcoming con season is when
the troops go out and recruit for next year's show.
