Day Three Comic
This was about how much we saw of Bryce. Over the four days of panels, Eric and I had an astounding one shared with Bryce. We talked about it, and decided Bryce didn't actually attend ComiCon at all, but rather spent his time looking for prostitutes and selling drugs.
And no, they aren't supposed to have mouths in the last panel.
Day Three
Pineapples are what it's all about, yup yup!
Picked up the SDCC '07 Exclusive version of these on Day Three. They're awesome. Chris' style translated perfectly into a 3D sculpt.
I also met up with IRON MAN!
Comic to follow later...
Day Two Comic
They are seriously all over the place. One of them even attempted to pistol-whip someone who got in their way on the show floor. Just because you're dressed in a Star Wars costume doesn't mean you can act like a dick and get away with it. I will make a demeaning comic of you and post it online for all three of my fans to read.
Day Two - Updated
Let's just say that Humberto Ramos drew a picture of me today.
:D
Update: Let me just say that I am shocked, SHOCKED, at how many people chose to text me asking who Ramos was, over simply Google Searching it. Wow.
This is Humberto Ramos' blog. He's a famous Marvel artist and all-around really nice guy. Very easy to talk to, very friendly, and he has an amazing style. I don't know if I'll ever post anything from Kid Bombastic or The Breaker on this page but, and this is ESPECIALLY true for The Breaker, his style is a massive influence. And I got him to draw me. :p
Day One Comic
Shit. There's so much going on this year it's
a) impossible to find time to update
and
b) impossible to choose an event to make comics out of!
But yeah, the Iron Man shirts ARE really fucking cool, and they DO glow in the dark. The design on the shirts is ironic, too, considering what happens in Replay-Value once the actual story starts up again...
Day One
Met up with Erwin Haya from
One Sick Individual yesterday and got him to sketch in his new book for me. I'm discovering that one great thing about having a young face is that since it never changes, people recognize you immediately, even though a year has passed!
I also met up with
Dean Yeagle and got his new book, but sadly I do not think he remembers me. That's OK though, "Mandy's Shorts" makes up for it. :p
Went to a hand full of panels yesterday, too. Saw the trailers for a lot of sweet upcoming movies, (Iron Man is going to KICK SO MUCH ASS OMG) and got a bun ch of awesome free swag (Iron Man shirt KICKS SO MUCH ASS OMG). Eric and I also went to a documentary on Pixar, which was just incredible. They had a bunch of footage from the early cuts of Toy Story that I'd never seen before. Woody was a major asshole. The doc just made my desire to work for them even stronger, though.
Anyways, the comic will be up sometime later tonight, with the Day Two comic showing up tomorrow morning. Basically how this'll be working is the comic for each day will go up the day after that day just occurred. So, see you in a few hours!
Preview Night
WOW. Preview Night was HUGE. I've never seen so many people at ComiCon before! Eric and I wandered around the hall for a few hours getting a mental map of where the booths we most want to hit are.
I got to talk briefly with Chris Sanders (Lilo & Stitch) and his assistant (well, more his assistant, he was busy) which is the major highlight of the Con for me. His style is just incredible, and he and his assistant are so friendly. Last year he did an AMAZING sketch for me. His Sketchbook 2 this year is just fantastic. Reading through it felt like I was drinking each page of art, and when I closed it I felt... visually full. You can't tell worth a damn from Replay-Value but his style has had a big influence on me. I think if I can meet up with Mike Kunkel again (Herobear & the Kid) I'll have talked with my two heroes and be on Cloud 9. And the Con hasn't even officially started yet!

COMICON 2007
Woo! We just got into San Diego for the 2007 ComiCon! It's gonna be rad, I know it. They're had to shut down admissions because there are SO MANY attendees this year. Yikes! Hopefully people will see my badge and get curious about the site. I wish I'd gotten the real thing up before now but... so many promises made and broken. Anyways, it wouldn't be a convention without convention-themed comics, so check back each night of the con (Wed thru Mon) for a new update!
