ARISIA 2023!

[lb_lee]

Arisia is January 13-16th, and here's where I'll be and what I'm doing!

First of all, I will be tabling in the Dealer's Room for:

• Friday, 5-9 PM.
• Saturday, 10-6
• Sunday, 10-6
• We will NOT be there at all on Monday, due to surgery prep!

I will also be doing the following panels (there's been a last-minute change since last post):

• Friday, 7 PM: Whoever with the Most Stuff is Dead (So, When’s the Estate Sale?)- Marina Ballroom 4 (2E): Do you have a plan for what happens to your stuff after you’re gone? How do you let your heirs know what’s valuable, and where to find appropriate dealers and markets? How do you document the information and make sure people can find it? What’s involved with donating to museums, libraries, etc.? How do you find and work with estate planning attorneys who understand fannish issues?
• Saturday, 7 PM: Graphic Novels as Memoir Stone (2W): People have been writing memoirs for centuries; more recently, they are being drawn as well. In works by Lucy Knisley, Debbie Tung, Art Spiegelman, George Takei, Alison Bechdel, and many others, the use of art has added powerfully to the experience. Our panel of graphic memoir readers—and writers/artists—will discuss what makes this form compelling from the outside and the inside, and how these comics fully communicate their creators’ feelings.
• Saturday, 10 PM: Comics After Dark/Late Night Sexy Comics (18+) Marina Ballroom 4 (2E): Comics have a long and risqué history, and not just during the “underground” years. Issues of intellectual property, distribution channels, the Comics Code, and the rise of comics shops and the Web all have had their impact on how taboo materials have reached their audience. Our panelists will share their favorites, old and new. 18+ only.
• Sunday, 1 PM: Creating Comics: From Idea to Finished Product Marina Ballroom 1 (2E): Comics can be produced in both traditional and digital media, as well as a mix of the two. Some creators focus on graphic novels, some on webcomics. Writing, visual storytelling, and distribution all have their problems to solve, for the sole creator, the creative team, and the self-publisher. Our panel of experienced comics creators will tell you about their processes from start to finish.

Hope to see you there!
