NYCC 2013 – Comics Experience Report

nycc-2011-logoNYCC 2013 was another great convention for Comics Experience folks!

In particular, we had our largest “in-person” Meet-Up ever, with Comics Experience instructors, pros, alums, and Workshop members taking over the entire back area of Mulligan’s on Saturday night.

There were so many comic creators present that we had multiple requests for name tags in the future.

Plus, we had Workshop members and alums from all over the world, including Australia, Brazil, Portugal, the exotic land of Canada, and from all over the United States. In many cases, it was a first “face-to-face” meeting for people who have known each other for years via our Creators Workshop online community.
