Thank you to everybody who came by my table, @soi128 organizers and volunteers, my students from @msu_illustration for doing a great job tabling alongside me in the culmination of our class that prepares them for the event, and awards of excellence judges for choosing Healthy Body!! Healthy Brain?! !!! This is my second year preparing for the event while also helping to prepare my students for their table and it is definitely one of my busiest weeks of the year, but very rewarding. I feel very lucky to have this job and to be doing and sharing what I love. Also somebody spilled some green slime in front of our tables and I put out one of our chairs by it so nobody would slip. I don’t need any extra commendation for my heroism in this decisive action but I wanted to extend a big thank you to whoever cleaned up the slime. #comics #cartoons #zines #cartoon #tycoon #cartoontycoon #self #publishing #selfpublishing #entrepreneur #comic #art #artist #book #author #zine #books #moccafest #moccafest2023 #award #excellence #awardsofexcellence #slime #hero (at Metropolitan Pavilion 18th St) https://www.instagram.com/p/CqtNFs5ubMW/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

And now for my last one of these of the year* . Belated thank you to everyone who organized and/or came by my table at @genghisconcle ! Cleveland Rocks! Pando is relieved she doesn’t have to help me pack for another one of these odysseys until the new year. Thanks to everyone who supported me and my work this year, I’m very grateful & I love and am always inspired by comics community <3 *( I know it has been relentless/repetitive; too many pictures of myself behind a table? Maybe but people seem to like them more than my art&comics posts, don’t know if that’s Al G. Rhythm’s fault or what but ima keep doin em until people complain ) #cartoon #tycoon #cartoontycoon #comic #art #zine #artist #comics #zines #author #convention #festival #expo #entrepreneur #travel #travelling #sales #man #cleveland #rocks #clevelandrocks (at Cleveland, Ohio) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cl9aqk5O8tG/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Thank you so much to everyone who came by my table this weekend at MoCCA Fest 2022! Thank you to @soi128 and volunteers for putting on the show, judges @calreidny @derf_backderf and @lsberke for awarding “Little Brothers #666: Andy Goes to Hell” a MoCCA Award of Excellence (???!!!!) and most of all thank you to my @montclairstateu @msuartanddesign students of the past 3 years in my Products & Publications class for making me proud at their own tables next to mine that I did my best to prepare them for. I started teaching the class in Fall 2019 and after the first 2 classes didn’t get MoCCA Fests to sell their work at because of the global pandemic, it was really cathartic for me to see students from 3 years of classes finally get a chance to see people enjoy their work and sell it to people in real life face to face at a comics fest for the first time. My first comics fest was MoCCA fest in 2010, I went there with cool risd illustration seniors and juniors, with my first self published comic and I sold 0 copies! Only up from there, and now all my students did way better than I did my first time! If I can pass along anything it’s that you don’t have to wait for anybody to put out any art you want to make and many of them said they would like to table at their own table in the future and I can’t imagine a better result! #comics #cartoons #zines #cartoon #tycoon #cartoontycoon #self #publishing #selfpublishing #entrepreneur #comic #art #artist #book #author #zine #books #moccafest #moccafest2022 https://www.instagram.com/p/Cb-uXftOzVu/?utm_medium=tumblr

Lets see what do we got here.. one of these first two was gonna be the last pic of the last post but it just posted a blank white rectangle instead. Lets try it again insta, second times a charm. Then we got a couple more screens from @gw_duncanson ‘s story about my new cigar box. Then another of Vinnie and Ben when I told them get in close look like my friends 👬 then we got my small but good MoCCA haul. Then my beautiful friends @tacobell portrait @andrewalexanderart did of us on the back of DECMBR 2018, his collection of amazing diary comics. (He will do this for you too, bother him to get a copy of your very own). Then close up shots of THE REVIEW by @angelafanche next to my review of THE REVIEW (thumbs up 👍) then the Gilmore girls Fanzine put together by @thekatzsisters and @skywhalecomics which I am very proud to have a page in. And then a print I traded for by an artist who’s name I failed to get, I apologize to them. At this time I will restate my eternal gratitude to everyone who came by and bought my work, traded or was nice to me. Hope you like my pics. Now Lets see if insta will post them all! The End! #comics #art #drawing #illustration #zines #atpratt #cartoontycoon #moccafest2019 #moccafest @soi128 (at Metropolitan West) https://www.instagram.com/atpratt/p/BwCve1eFTX0/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=mvmklaoebwgz
