Last week we announced that Sock Dreams will be vending at Emerald City Comicon! Today we’re announcing a special cross-promotion with our comics crush, Periscope Studio.
Five of their writers and artists have donated freebies for us to spoil you with—but only if you’ll be attending the convention on Friday March 1st. The first three people to show us a photo of themselves with a Periscope Studio artist/writer get books and a gift card!
We will also be debuting an exclusive event sticker you can only get at ECCC.
Just a reminder that Sock Dreams will be at Emerald City Comicon THIS WEEKEND! We’re so excited, and we hope that you are too.
Who’s all coming? Is anyone dressing up? If you’re using Sock Dreams socks in a cosplay, stop by our table because we’d love to get a photo of you!

I’m assuming my name has an asterix by it because my DAR! books are full of adult content ;)

Dilettante #2: Bring back mentorship.
“Making comics for a living is hard. The basics of the craft can take years to acquire, with the subtleties of expressive art taking even longer. And along the way, you somehow need to learn how to run a small business, an entirely separate but equally vital skill set.”
I’ve written a short piece advocating mentorship in comics. It’s at TOUCAN, Comic Con’s new blog.
My own studio, Periscope, has an internship program that works hard at splitting the difference between education and exploitation. Take a look.
The mentoring I’ve received at Periscope Studio has transformed my entire life, I would not be successful in my career if not for the guidance of Steve Lieber, Terri Nelson, Colleen Coover, Jeff Parker, Dylan Meconis and the rest of my studiomates.
