Thought bubble was the first convention i have ever been to and i really enjoyed it. I had only know about two specific things happening; Jeff Lemire doing signings and a panel of people who created Bee and Puppycat. I was excited about both of these things however when i got there i was overwhelmed by the amount of independant illustrators and animators, all with varying styles. It was very interesting to see so many creatives in one place.
Meeting Lemire was a disappointment. He was not what i expected and he came across quite rude. I feel like if i were in a position where my creations were earning my a nice amount of money i would be more grateful.
The Bee and Puppycat panel was very interesting, we get some insight into how characters were created and the idea for the general premise, such as influences from sailor moon. We also got a sneak peak at the next bee and puppycat episode which was great.
Overall i had a lot of fun at Thought Bubble, i now have a lot of cards from a lot of illustrators, and a lot of posters too... also a very empty bank account...
