Pegs & Carc - Together Again For The First Time
A long-time-coming piece of gift art for Steve Addlesee, the guy who pulled my bacon outta the frying pan when it came to finally getting issue 2 inked.
This badass in the lower right corner is his character, Carc A'Jou from Steve's comic "Carc & Slide". If you want to know more about it, you can find it up for sale through FurNation Multimedia. :) (They're not hard to find. If you don't know where to go, then you really haven't been in this fandom very long, have you? ;P)
Carc is property of Steve Addlesee.
"Carc & Slide" is a ™ of Steve Addlesee and Richard A. Wright.

I'm trying to resurrect my career. I wasn't at last year's D*C because the new director of "Guest Services" decided I wasn't "name" enough to be invited. I assume that'll be my fate for this year's event. That's what I get for seven years of appearances with little to no panel time or other perks.
Damn that sucks. I hope that this year's D*C would change all that. Though you missed an unfortunate event. I lost my satchel bag that has my sketch book and art supplies in it. I got a phone call and said they will be mailing it. but the mailbox is still empty, and I called them a couple of times with no results :{
Yeah...that's typical of Dragon*Con, their pass-the-buck/I don't know mentality. Cripes,...I NEVER was ALLOWED to say "I don't know" where I worked. It was find answer or find new job. No choice...DO.
Last year, D*C trotted out a new Guest Services Chairperson, someone called Mischa Hess. I submitted my online application in January. By April, Ellen was calling and emailing on a weekly basis with NO results. Finally, in July, Ellen received a "sorry to keep you waiting....BUUUUUT....your boy don't rate a guest badge" email. Yeah, I fired off a reply to Ms. Hess, which probably blacklisted me from guest consideration in the future. To prove my point, I sent off an online application last month. In all honesty, I should thank Ms. Hess for saving me a grand in food, lodging and parking. I certainly don't make that in sales and commissions.
In all honesty, the best thing for me to do is just set up a date, time and location to meet and hang out. It's cheaper and less less crowded. I doubt any other convention will snap me up, but that's okey dokey with me. FWA isn't an option and I'm so tired of going to other conventions in the area with my tam o'shanter in my hands.

I never thought signing up for a table would be very difficult. Though maybe I had my mind that it isnt easy when it involves a mega-convention. I hope they do let you back for D*C 2009.
That's true. The good ol' meet & greets. Hard to find around the location I am in. Whenever there is a meeting, it's always like 50 min drive. Understandable for FWA, I remember your horror stories you told me.

My attending D*C 2009 is strictly up to Ms. Hess.
Of all the conventions I've attended in my 16 years as a pro, the ONLY convention I received my due was the two times I was Guest of Honor at ZonieCon in 1998 and 2000. ~calbeck was the chairman of that event, and I'm sure he'll say something good about me.
The WORST treatment I ever received as a guest for a convention was CONvergence in the Twin Cities in '99. I was guaranteed guest status, an MC for the costume contest, a boatload of panels, a table in the dealer's room, everything but a blonde with big hooties and a convertible.
Also, I was to be in the company of a young lady who wanted to meet me. That was another train wreck, but one train wreck at a time.
I fly from Salt Lick City to Chicago to Minneapolis/St. Paul. I get off the plane, open my bag and someone approached me and asked "You Addlesee?" I looked up and "hoboy". Taller, short-cropped hair and could do more push-ups than me (she worked at UPS). Yep...I felt my feet dragging as I began the descent down that slippery slope.
Without going into detail of all what happened or didn't happen, the young lady and I were NOT meant to associate, much less anything else. She basically shunned me on sight because I didn't have those 'leading man' looks. What annoyed me most is how once she was at the convention, she acted little better than a ten-dollar 'ho (cripes, she even wore a cocktail mini-dress).
I went to registration and asked for my badge. There was NO badge. I was given a temp badge so I could hunt down my "liaison". I located her and I got the rest of the story. No guest MC, no table in the dealer's room, but I was expected to be at all panels I was scheduled to attend. Screw that noise. I found a table in the lobby and went to work inking Frank Strom's MUSCLE TONE.
I met a couple acquaintances and suddenly the conversation was interrupted by my "liaison" who demanded to know what I was doing. She said something about me not being allowed to do artwork anywhere but in my hotel room or the dealer's room. At that point I just removed my badge and gave it to her. She inquired about my participation in panels and I replied "D'ya REALLY want me onna panel right now?"
She scampered off with my badge and I went back to the airport, hoping to get a flight back, but, I was stuck there until Monday afternoon. There's more to the story, including my "date" who marched up to me and wanted to know if I could pay half of the planefare. She didn't like my reply about how she could earn it under a streetlamp since she was already dressed for it.
I was VERY HAPPY when it was mid-afternoon Monday and I was on the plane for home.
