On the move: NY PICTURE POST

22. October 2013 by Palle Schmidt

I’m back at the studio here in Copenhagen after a few hectic weeks in New York. I enjoyed bicycling here with music in my headphones, wind on my face and the smell of the wet streets. This is home. Won’t be here long though as I am heading to France for another comics festival this coming weekend. I was at Saint Malo last year too and really enjoyed it, although I didn’t make a single French connection.

I’m still reeling from the impression of NYCC, sending follow up emails and going through the images and sound I recorded there. A lot of material for upcoming podcasts for Comics for Beginners.

As for the images, here is a small selection, mostly free of touristy family shots.

Enjoy.



Rock’n’comix event in Brooklyn bar The Fifth Estate. Later I read in Chinese accent with Chris Miskiewicz on stage. Fun night, boring picture.

At the con. Fatigue set in after about five minutes. SOOOO many people. So many costumes. So much STUFF. Noisy as Hell.

At the High Line. Excellent park built on the old train line, by Danish architects!

I did a podcast interview with Spiderman artist Tom Lyle, here seen signing original artwork for a fan.
The often-shirtless Dean Haspiel with the not-so-often-shirtless Rich Johnston of Bleeding Cool.

Williamsburg in the sun. We were so lucky with the weather, hardly an overcast day.

Manhattan seen from Williamsburg. We took the ferry over a few times, a nice little ride.

I always forget how many PEOPLE are on the streets of New York. All the time.
Dean Haspiel sketching on napkins at the Marvel party which we crashed after hours.

Reilly Brown and Jason Little at Hypothetical Island studios in Brooklyn, looking at my book, STILETTO.

Ever wonder where Batman buys his capes?

At Central Park. The little one finally got the Hello Kitty ice cream she wanted.

Location scouting with Chris Miskiewicz in the East Village. Took tons of reference pics for our Thomas Alsop story.
