My Calgary Expo 2012 Booty
Well, I had a great time at this year's Calgary Expo, and got a pretty amazing haul, if I do say so myself. It was super crowded on the Saturday (Fire Marshall had to step in and limit re-entry, etc.) but that didn't effect me too much, other than having to wait in a lineup to get back in for about an hour once. I ended up blowing all my cash around 3-4pm on Saturday, and Sunday just took in a bunch of panels. Anyway, on to what people actually want to hear about/see...the art! I guess I'll start with the published pages I picked up. I found a couple of really nice Al Rio pages at Bob McLeod's booth and couldn't pass them up. Dale Eaglesham had some Alpha Flight pages with him and I also picked up a couple of those. Most of the pages have a bit more of a description on their CAF page, so I will link to those, as well as attaching pics.

I'll post the Con Sketches/Commissions in a separate post to keep this from getting too long! |

Before you criticize someone, you should walk a mile in their shoes. That way, when you criticize them, you're a mile away and you have their shoes.

Great haul Erik, Love The Rio pages and Eagleshams pencils are so sweet. Love the Paquette and Texeira pieces, but that Linsner is probably my favorite. Killer Haul Dude!!

Thanks! I originally wasn't all that excited about the Calgary Expo this year. They seemed to take forever to announce their comic guests. They seem to be focusing more and more on the entertainment side, which is fine with me, so long as they keep bringing in top artists. I couldn't be happier with the pieces I was able to bring home, though. The Al Rio pieces were a great unexpected surprise and the Eaglesham and Linsner pieces are already among my faves. Now, I have to get ready for FanExpo in Toronto in 4 months. It will be my first trip out east for a show!

That's my one beef with the Calgary con, the heavy focus on entertainment. My first trip to ECCC was this year and it was just incredible because of the focus on comics. Really wish we had something like it in western Canada.
Either way, killer haul man, I can't wait to see what you get from fan expo! |
