Roanoke Valley ComicCon! Another awesome event for the Star City!

I love the fact that we have a ComicCon here in our little town that wishes it was a big city!  Roanoke Valley ComicCon was a great way to spend the afternoon.  In fact, we even took our oldest and youngest sons (the middle one wasn't feeling well), and loaded them up on comics from B&D's booth.  We got to meet CJ Henderson and bought a couple of his books.  I am an avid reader, and a speed reader, so I actually read through Steam-Powered Love last night and it was wonderful!  Really a great read. 

Did you know they had a costume contest?  We didn't either, but since everyday is a steampunk day in our house, we were already dressed for the occasion!  We entered the contest and I won Best Costume!  The prize was a photo by a really amazing local photographer, Daniel Silverman, who we keep running into at the Cons!  He photographed a couple of our friends at MysticCon and did a great job, so we were very excited.  Here's the photo he shot of us...





Daniel does awesome work, doesn't he?  If you'd like him to shoot your pictures (and he's got some great original graphic art for the backdrops) you can email him at TheArtcanist@artcanist.com.

So, we're heavy about 75 comics or so right now...  Lots of reading to do! 

Until next time...
