The Small Press Expo this weekend in Bethesda, MD featured a heap of fine cartoonists and free spirits.
I saw the best “V for Vendetta” tattoo ever. Full size versions of these photos are available at my Flickr page here.
CARTOON IMITATES LIFE
THIS BANNER REMINDS ME OF SOME PUBLISHERS I HAVE DEALT WITH…
V FOR VENDETTA MEDIUM SIZE
The young lady has some very nice tatoos. Thanks for the info about the expo in the Gahan Wilson post. My son is doing a graphic novel and he got to talk to some publishers and self-publishers at the event on Sunday, but he didn’t see the tatoo girl.
I’m glad your son got a kick out of the show. I hope things go gangbusters with his novel.
The V for Vendetta lady – named Dez – was at a table along with her husband, Jason Pittman. His website is at http://theexodus97.deviantart.com
Their table was on the opposite side of the ballroom from the Pantagraphics table, where cartoonists like Wilson were doing signings.
The V for Vendetta lady was seated next to a tall cartoonist named Katie Omberg, a Mount Holyoke graduate who did a great cartoon booklet (“Aaron’s Framing”) lampooning Rockville, Maryland at several different levels.
I am so glad you can dig through the faux intellectual elite and realize that V for Vendetta was not a diatribe against the conservatism but rather a warning against allowing the fear of the left and and it’s true intolerance to amke the world one in it’s image! Kudos. I am designing my own V tat as well.
