Alright, home and freshly rested from the NYCC (Thur/Fri/Sat is MORE than enough for me. (Can you say, 'Too much of a good thing?!?')), and wanted to fill you in on how the 10 mins w/ PEREZ went.
George was primed and ready to go the moment the convention opened. While my plan was to wait until there was a large enough gap in the sched (in hopes of possibly getting 20 mins), I ended up having my 10 minutes closer to the end of the convention b/c it seemed at some point there was going to be a bottle-neck of attendees.
I proceeded to fire off a number of questions but the one that most surprised me went something like this: Me: How do you feel about characters that you've created (such as Cyborg/Starfire/Raven) being changed/morphed/wiped from existence in the wake of storylines such as DC's New 52? With the new status quo wiping out the very existence of the Wolfman/Perez Titans, does this in any way make it difficult continuing to working for the company?
George: 'Not at all. in fact, quite the contrary.' 'I couldn't be more happy that characters that I've created have lasted so long and in so many incarnations (Comics/animation/live television)'. Besides, considering what I continue to make from royalties, (he actually was a little more specific ($$$) but it's not necessary to reveal it here.), I have absolutely nothing to complain about.'
Though his response surprised me a bit, It is nice to see him still so happy and (seemingly) well respected after so many years in the industry.
As for the character I picked for this to illustrate, at the last minute, I opted for an original character of mine (I mean, how many opportunities do you get to have someone like George to illustrate a charter you've created?).
All contributors received signed prints as well (I'll post this as soon as I can get them scanned).
Needless to say, this event alone was worth attending the convention.
