Wrapping Up
Well, with this posting we close down Free Comic Book day 2012. One of the surprise successes of the event was our sketch cover raffle prizes. This was a true testament to the fact that we only put the shell of an event together and it grows organically from there. Cleveland’s Free Comic Book Day is that big because Cleveland helps make it that big.
We got 28 submissions from 24 artists in Cleveland who did one of a kind sketch covers for free to support free comic book day. These cover were raffled off post event. You can take a look at them here:
While there is a link to each artist’s website with the picture, we would also like to personally thank the following people and provide you with a way to follow there work if possible. These are people who care about art, community, Cleveland and comics; and are people to keep on eye on. I would also like to thank Jim Giar specifically, as with out his orginal work on this project it never would have come to fruition.

And last but not least, our thank you goes out to our store graphic designer, Jameson Campbell. www.jamesoncampbell.net
A good event starts with a good piece of artwork that people can repost, and he went above and beyond the call of duty this year. Here’s an inside look into exactly what goes into the creation of our advertising. It’s a pretty big file so it may take awhile to load, but it’s well worth a look… Inside Look (PDF)

The beer label files aren’t in there. but hey, that never happened. Thanks again Jameson and I’m proud to call you brother.
That’s it. Thank you all. See you next year. I’m sure we’ll still be here. Progress and Prosperity!
