Hey y’all!! So it’s been a week since FIQ 2011 and I’m still catching up to everything that happened in those 5 glory days for brazilian – and worldwide – comics! I went to FIQ with my partners in crime Felipe Cunha, Hector Lima and Pablo Casado. There, we joined Felipe Sobreiro and Matheus Alves and the gang was complete!
I don’t know if there was someone in there that makes comics that I didn’t speak to, I got to meet so many people it’s almost impossible to describe. Thanks a lot to everyone, it was the most frigging amazing con ever. This years’ FIQ received aprox. 148000 people! I think we broke a record or something!
We tried to meet everybody we could in the first 3 days – which was Wednesday to Friday, and hand over our comics to all the people that we definitely wanted to have’em, and buy the comics we wanted, and have our comics signed by the authors we love. Also, there were interesting panels to attend and the most awesome watercolor workshop with Jill Thompson, so:
Then came the weekend and we got a table – shared with the amazing MagentaKing and Daltz, and along came the horde!
We had a preview for our graphic novel Sabor Brasilis, Felipe Cunha and Pablo Casado’s Duo and Pas de Deux, Matheus Alves and moi’s Micro and the ubber awesome Felipe Sobreiro’s Image comic The Strange Talent of Luther Strode:
From all the nice chats and discussions we had to all the comics we gave away and the comics we bought and the nicest people in the world we got the enormous pleasure to meet, thank you so much! And thanks to all of you who were able to go and see it for yourself! It was amazing! If you missed this one, you’ve got two years to prepare! Go! Now!
