Fighting the good fight

Bam...Kapow.....Zap.....Kaplow...... This is how I have to start this blog. Today was a crazy day indeed, lots of stuff going on several levels. The things I want to focus on though, are all positive :). First and foremost we got a huge order from a single customer!!!!!! Whooo Hooooo. I could not believe the order when I saw it, I cant wait to get to it!!! So it is true " If you build it , they will come " this is so true. I went into this comic thing all wrong when I started, everything takes time!!!  No matter what the goal is, Strong foundation = Solid structure!!!

            Free Comic book day is this Saturday, so I decided to do something different. Instead of going to the already established FCBD events that happen in Portland every year. I decided to try my own city of Vancouver WA!!!! Well upon researching, I found out that only one comic book store remains in all of Vancouver WA!!!! Yikes!!!!! so so sad. Now even though I could cross the bridge into Portland and go to any number of comic book stores,  I 'll pass. My hope is, I can pull of a few things in this one event. The plan is ( if the store allows me to ) to set up a table for myself and maybe another artist. In turn we would do free sketches for the kids, and I would give out free all ages mini comics. This would not only be a fun event, but we are also promoting community, literacy, and the arts. Being the last Comic book store in Vancouver, I shudder to think what if that one closes also???????? Maybe its just the inevitable, maybe everything is going digital????? The Local Comic Book store concept is antiquated???? Did Video Games really win????? Well .....Maybe all of that might be true. I think its worth a fight!!!!!!! If the above does take place and no longer does Vancouver have a Comic book store. Well the failure for me would have been not contacting the store, outside of that it was out of my control. Fighting the good Fight
