Comicon anyone?

[potatostamp]

Haven't read alot on this board about the Con... but here's some info about our booth if anyone is interested... anyone going??

It’s probably too late for this (Comicon starts tonight) but here goes. There is a lot going on this time at the Comicon, and we’re scrambling! I’m sharing a booth with Murphy Art Books, find us at booth #4833.

I’ll have two portfolios of small originals on paper, mostly drawings and color comps and will also be bringing some larger one-off monoprints. Please inquire at the booth if interested. I’m also bringing some prints- 5 artist’s proofs of my sold out Springbees litho, a few random sold out prints, and my new “Beast Within” giclee. My new zine, “Brain Decay” will debut Friday and last but not least, we just got 100 advanced copies of my new book “Storm Clouds” rushed from the printer. I’m psyched!

We have added Maxx242 into the lineup. He’s fresh back from Japan where his Zac Pac Be@rbrick had it’s debut. He is bringing 25 of these rare collectibles to the states and they’ll be for sale exclusively at our booth. He will also have his new zine “Never Dead” available.

Mark Murphy’s newest book, “Oil” will be available, as well as some of his original line drawings. He will be signing and sketching throughout the convention.

Wish I could be there this year but on vacation

I will have to really try to make it next year... Can you believe I have never been there? I'm a loser.

[potatostamp]

No way, not a loser at all! I'd much rather go on vacation. It's fun but you won't miss much, the Con is not going anywhere. It'll be the same next year, in fact it never seems like it's been a whole year in between. Maybe I've been to too many (every year since 1995). Next year maybe I will go on vacation instead...

[doktor]

Not for me this year either. I thought I may be but it didnt happen. Its a tad harder from the UK.

Maybe next year I will pop that SDCC cherry.
I bet doing the whole thing is a real endurance event.

Would be great to actually meet people in the real life though...

Will be picking up Mr. Soto's new book and Kathie and Brandt's when the con madness has calmed down.

I've asked someone to buy me some drawings from you but not exactly holding my breath that they'll be able to
This is actually the first thing to make me regret not going

[marcusslo]

wish i could go but i need to buy a house

[travislouie]

I'll be there signing on Friday 3:30 pm and on Saturday 1:30 pm at the Hi-Fructose Booth #4938

Preview night was INSANE. I can't even begin to imagine what the rest of the con is going to be like.
