NY Comic Con ‘09 aftermath from a pin-up artist’s perspective

Posted by Susan Heidi - February 11th, 2009

My retro style Pin-Up art was a big hit at the NY Comic Con! I was happy to meet so many people who are fans of the genre. It was a grueling 3 days - you can just imagine what it’s like for an artist who usually works alone in a studio to abruptly switch gears and spend 9+ hours a day talking non-stop. My voice was nearly gone by the end of the day Sunday. I had so much fun meeting everyone and really appreciate each and every compliment I received. There is nothing in the world like having something you’ve created admired by others. I have posted some pictures on myspace and there’s already a video interview I did posted on Edward Champion’s Reluctant Habits. I did a few other interviews, which I’ll post links to as soon as they are live.

Susan Heidi NY Comic Con '09

To recap the weekend:

  • Comic Con’s are amazing places where everyone is having fun - it’s very contagious
  • having a booth on the way to the restrooms makes for great traffic
  • kudos to my two youngest fans - two little girls who know what they like
  • drinking lots of water saved me from losing my voice altogether
  • once again, I wasn’t able to get around to visit with other artists - many, many thanks to those who made their way over to say hello
  • at least as many women as men love pinups - thanks to all those guys who let their ladies browse!
  • Evil Ink Comics and Epic Proportions were the best booth neighbors I could ask for!
  • New Yorkers, costumed fans, and celebrities made for awesome people watching

I’ve already made arrangements to be back at NY Comic Con next year (October 8-10, 2010) once again in booth #1906 - hope to see you there :)
