pameladlloydUpdate to Tucson Comic Con 2009 - Part 1: I found the missing card for Pat Billings, who customizes character figures to your specifications. You can see some examples of his work at http://usn1.deviantart.com/.
Now, on to Tucson Comic Con 2009 - Part 2:
There were many free items available. Sometimes promotional goods from merchants, I've already mentioned R-Galaxy, but there were numerous other merchants, both of the individual and store-front variety. Unfortunately, I wasn't as careful about noting exactly who was who among the merchants, which makes me very sad, because one of the bigger merchants had a whole bunch of free preview comics, posters, stickers, pins, and—wonder of wonders—bags in which we con goers could carry our stash.
The Monster Commute folks have a really clever comic, in which monsters live in their cars, perpetually stuck in traffic >> read the Introduction. It turns out, and I'm sorry to say that I missed this when I was talking to them, that the artists are a husband and wife team, Dawna and Daniel Davis, from Phoenix, AZ, who operate under the name Steam Crow. Yay for spousal collaborations!
Josey at Damage Control was handing out black and white "Color Your Own!!" drawings—I got one of Stinkerbelle.
Ernest Romero was giving away free Jigga comic books. Ernest anticipates that Jigga will be available as a free daily strip; check his website for the big reveal planned for December 2009. I truly do hope you'll drop by and check out his work, which I think shows a lot of talent and skill, as well as the many styles that influence him. If you like his work, why don't you drop him a line and tell him so.
One of the biggest comic production groups present was Evil Robo Productions, where several artists were busy sketching free pen and ink caricatures. There were too many people lined up for me to feel that it was a good use of my limited time (family obligations meant I had to leave early), so I can't give you as much detail as I'd like about this effort, but I thought it was a really great idea.
Pete Arriola, of Savvi was there with a couple of other folks, distributing free stickers and packs of temporary tattoos. If I'm feeling very brave at TusCon, I may decide to wear one of the colorful butterfly temporary tattoos I brought home.
