Getting Ready For Comic-Con

Originally, I was scheduled to be situated at Table II-24 in Artists Alley, located in Hall G, but through dumb luck and incredible timing, I can now be found at Table O-01 in the Small Press section located towards the rear of Hall B.

Above is the 5ft by 6ft banner that will be displayed behind my table, so that people will have an easier time finding me.

Obviously, the focus will be on selling copies of THE LARA-SU CHRONICLES: BEGINNINGS. While people can purchase the book for the cover price of $35.99 plus CA sales tax, due to costs of appearing at Comic-Con, I’ve added a couple of options to help defray those costs.

Other options include $50 for the book and my signature (personalization optional at no extra charge) which includes CA sales tax. The 3rd option is $75 which includes a hand-drawn sketch of Lara-Su (sample shown below), as well as both items autographed. Price also includes CA sales tax.

I’ll also have available the following new prints offered for the 1st time:

Sonic’s Cast of Characters, available for $40 which includes CA sales tax

Along with this print featuring Shadow for $35, which includes signature and CA sales tax.

Then there are the Unit patches and Lara-Su T-shirts.

1 patch is $10, 2 are $16, 3 are $21 and all 4 are $25. T-Shirts are $30 available in various adult & child sizes.

The reason I’m stressing the CA sales tax is due to new business realities. I live in CA, the event is taking place in CA, and CA residents are paying CA sales tax already when they buy a copy of BEGINNINGS through my website. That’s money that I have to report. Considering I use Square payment as my platform of transacting business at the convention, there’s no choice in the matter when it comes to collecting sales tax and reporting it. I’m actually in the process of incorporating Floating Island Productions, so this all a big step for me.

In addition, I’ll also have a selection of original art, other prints and a number of back issues, most of which I never worked on. The reason for this is when I added random SONIC or KNUCKLES issues to the pre-order packages, that meant I still had a lot of issues I hadn’t worked on, so I’m making these available in my SONIC $10 BOX for people to pick through.

To make it easy for people to find me, I’ve included the map above showing I’ll be located in the SMALL PRESS area in HALL B at Table O-01 between aisles 1800 and 1700 in the rear section.

If anyone has any questions after this, please email me and I’ll try to respond as best as I can these days. Thanks and take care.

  1. Exciting stuff! Happy for everyone who’ll get the chance to visit you at your table! They’re in for a real treat when they get their hands on The Lara-Su Chronicles: Beginnings. 🙂

  2. There’s a lot of words here to process and a lot of business jargon. It’s not you I always struggle with that.
    I have trouble understanding business jargon in general because some words, I’m unsure of their meaning and because of the math in it.
    Transaction?Sales tax? I know I can look it up in a dictionary.
    But if I was able to go the map is amazing and helpful.
    The art looks great. I’m sure the comic con is alot of work, as getting ready for my art being put up is a lot of work. Time consuming also.
