Broken Door Publishings FIRST ANNUAL COMICON CONVENTION
NOVEMBER 2, 3, 4, 2007

To all guest, exhibitors and vendors interested in our 1st annual convention I first like to say thank you for your interest.

It has always been my dream to enter the publishing world in many forms and the most recent has been comic books and filmmaking. I have worked very hard in writing to create memorable scenes and dialogue along with fascinating storylines to help the normal, everyday person find a place to escape.

I know many of you have also had the same dream and of course have all succeeded in that dream by creating the work you all have done thus far. From the artist, to writer, colorist, inker all the way down to the very vendors that sell the books we create and we read.

I want to invite you all to our first convention to allow you to meet one another and display your work for everyone to see. I have always been a strong supporter of the independent hard worker because I am still one myself.

Please take into consideration the convention and having a chance to appear and help those that want the same dream to one day sit across from the same fans that got all of us started.

The Ramada Inn is charging a fee of $75.00 a day for rooms. Any exhibitors and vendors that reserve a table before Oct. 5th 2007 will receive a room price of $65.00 (prices may change).

Exhibitors and vendors tables will be 8ft long at a weekend price of: $150.00. An additional table can be purchased at: $50.00 and will be 6ft long. Tables can be reserved by filling out an application with your information and a check payable to: Broken Door Publishings. (Applications will be emailed or mailed upon request.) A $25.00 fee will be charged for any returned checks. All payments must be made by Oct. 5th 2007. Exhibitors and vendors can cancel their reservations before Oct. 5th 2007 for a full refund. Reservation cancels 2 weeks before the convention will receive half their payment back and any cancels after that will receive “no” payment back.

Exhibitors and vendors will receive 2 badges saying, “VENDOR” or “GUEST”. Additional badges will cost $10.00, this is to prepare the Broken Door Publishings Staff to make the appropriate room and space for the tables.

The convention times will be:

Friday: 3pm to 8pm.
Saturday: 11am to 8pm.

New Dates For Broken Door Publishings Comic Con Last time I promise!

So today Anthony got off the phone with Lily. She is the lady in charge of the ballroom at our Ramada Inn in Vineland, NJ. He has been waiting for her call for a few weeks now and she finally gave me the information we needed.

First she said it was ok to have the convention in the ballroom. That means more room for everyone and that is just awesome.

The one thing He had to do was, well, change the date for the convention one more time. Seems like people want to get married that same day. So the convention will be moved to:

November 2. 3. 4 2007. Yeah I know but thats business. He is going to be sending out all the information for guest and vendors to reserve tables for the convention. He's charging a smaller price than most because he would rather have quality than anything and the ballroom packed.

So guest list and store list will be up soon.

So please post this information to all the comic and film fans you know.

This is the most exciting thing I have ever done and I plan to have many more in the future.

Desire

My Dream To Someday Be An Artist For DC Comics
For those of you that dont know me , I am a Freelance independent comic artist! With Dreams of someday drawing for DC comics on the best title in my opinion "Batman"! I am the ripe old age of 43 years old and ever since I can remember I have always loved reading Batman comics! And I have seen every TV show and movie about the character! When I was in my late teens and early twentys I must have sent over 400 submissions to DC comics to try and land that dream job of drawing my favorite character Batman! But unfortunately I also recieved 400 rejection letters or form letters as they are known. So I quitely stopped sending the submissions to DC. Then I decided to try and do my own comic and hoped that I would be picked up by DC or maybe Marvel. But that to fell to the wayside! Then the day to day existence of life caught up with me and I gradually stopped trying thinking to myself that I was not good enough of an artist to ever draw for DC. So I kinda stopped drawing comics for a bit and started doing Landscape paintings and wildlife. And I have sold many many paintings . But my desire has always been to be an artist for DC comics. In the last few years that desire has come back to haunt me! Above all things except the love for my wife and kids I want to be able once in my life do something that I really enjoy and make a living at it. So I have that DC comics bug again and the desire is even stronger. I may not be as good as an artist as Jim Lee My favorite Batman Artist to ever draw the character. Or Norm Breyfogle ,Neal Adams Tim Sale 'Frank Miller or anyone of a number of greats that have drawn Batman or worked for DC But there is one thing I have in common with all of them ..... Desire! And even though it is somewhat late in my life as I am 43 now I have never really given up that dream of someday drawing for DC. It seems today that unless you are a scientist in anatomy or you have a very individualized style it's almost impossible to break in the biz! But I tell you what I will never give up on my Dream even though it may Never come to pass. Because you know what Dreams are what make us keep on fighting the good fight! Striving each and every day to obtain that unobtainable dream! So yes I have been told that my art seems stiff or unrealistic . But my interpetations of what and how I see things are unique to me! So really who's to say that anyone is better than me or that I am better than anyone else! Art is the expression of ones own self into what we call reality! I will keep pushing for my dream and I figure I have 5 years left to obtain that dream ! So just to let you all know Im going for it with everything I have in me and if anyone has advice or words of encouragement please let me know! I want this people more tham you can imagine!!! So say a prayer for me or wish me luck ! And on last note. Even if I never do obtain my dream at least when I go I know that I did do everything in my power to make that dream a reality! Well that is all I have to say for now! Good night my friends And keep those Dreams alive! It's what makes us who we are!
