this is probably the most Olivier Coipel piece of artwork, that i have !!! [ and it's not even the real thing, i only have an emailed image of it .... ]
but on, one of his final pages in "THE LEGION" #14 [ his last issue ] he told me he was gonna feature MY name somewhere !!!
he put it going round the logo on CUB's top !!! it didn't actually appear in the printed comic !!!
but it was still amazing ....

Cool! I didn't know he had a new web site. He used to be a staple at Motor City Con, but he wasn't there the last few times I've been and my like to his old web site went bad, so I thought he had disappeared from the field. Poking around the web site, I see he's charging a lot more for commissions than he used to, but he does do some really neat work.
Thanks for the update, Mel!

Well how about a digi-photo then? At least then us greedy graphiphiles will get a chance to see them even if it can't be high resolution. - just a thought -

Hey thanks, Seymore. Those are great! I didn't really love Moy's work on the book but his portraiture is marvelous.

Yeah, he did a sketch for me at Mid-Ohio con of some characters I created, and it turned out great. He likes to draw the women, but he doesn't disappoint on the guys.

Water and food. Every single convention has some kind of food/drink outlet or stall or something only there's always massive queues and everything costs a fortune, so water and just some snack food are always a good idea.
As for anything else... nah, nothing really.

Bringing the right bag to a convention is essential - figure out how much you think you'll buy and bring something that'll be comfortable and easy to manuver in the often tight convention aisles. Don't kill yourself lugging things around (I almost did last year in San Diego). Cons sometimes have a bag check that can be handy if you end up buying a lot or buying bulky stuff. Bring a camera if you can, there's often neat things to take pictures of - creators, costumed con attendees, promo items, friends, etc. Bring cash - ATMs will often charge fees and vendors will not often take credit cards. Bring books by creators that you want signed. If you want to commission sketches for pay, bring good shots of the characters you want sketched. Get a good night's sleep the day before. Oh and wear comfortable shoes.
Re: sketches, If there's artists you definitely want sketches for, line up as early as possible. For two years in a row I've missed getting sketches from Humberto Ramos because I was too far in the line. Bringing pictures of the characters you want sketched is usually a good idea too. Hmm, what else...oh artists are usually much more receptive to a fan if you actually show that your a real fan of their work, not just somebody there to get a free sketch. Let them know that you like their work and why.
