Comic-Con 2009 Recap

We had a great time at Comic-Con this year. Justin and Cory both sold a lot of prints which should be available online somewhere soon (I’ll update the blog when that happens). Here are a few images from the week, starting from the beginning. I’ve been reconfiguring my blog, so you may have seen a few of these already. I also put together a quick video that includes some footage of Justin and Cory doing some original drawings and paintings behind the booth.

SDCC 2009

Yesterday Justin Gerard and I arrived in San Diego for Comic-Con. We’ll be meeting up with Cory Godbey and his wife Erin later on today to finish setting up the Portland Studios booth. This is just my second time at Comic-Con, and I’ve been looking forward to it since the conference ended last year. I’m planning on writing a post once a day to give a small glimpse of what goes on at Comic-Con, and more specifically, what the guys from Portland Studios are up to.

If you’re in San Diego this week, swing by booth 1032. The guys at Portland Studios (Cory Godbey and Justin Gerard) will be selling some beautiful prints and originals. They’ll also be doing some demos, so come out and say hello! Here’s a quick sample of what Cory will be selling (visit his latest post for more details).

Welcome To The Silver Agency Blog

A few weeks ago over pizza, chili, and sweet tea, a friend said, “hey Matt…you should start a blog for The Silver Agency.” In the following moments a world of blogging possibilities flashed before my eyes. Now everyone could know what I think about politics, life, love, sports, current events, and maybe even religion!…then I threw up a little in my mouth.

I’m actually very excited about this blog because little introspection is required. Like many people, I’m attracted to extraordinary people, and yet unlike most people I’ve been blessed with the opportunity to represent my talented friends. I try to keep them busy and happy. This blog will show you what they’re busy doing.
