Amanda Conner

While at Megacon, Nicorette (age 6) and I talked to Amanda Conner for awhile. She is an extremely successful comic book artist who has been doing the comic book thing for awhile. She was busy drawing a sketch of Batgirl for a fan and talked to Nicorette while she drew. I was glad Nicorette could see a woman who was successful with her art, since Nicorette likes her art projects. In fact, Amanda was so nice, she loaned Nicorette some markers to draw while they spoke. At the end, Nicorette signed her art for Amanda. Amanda wanted to give Nicorette something from her table (of her work) but realized that most of it was adult oriented. I thanked her - since the experience of spending time with her was more than enough for us. Very nice lady! And it was Nicorette's highlight of the day. Even beat out the sword fighting.
