Wonderful trip to Baltimore to see Stan again, first time since 2013 when he was the featured artist for their convention yearbook. And I got to meet Julie Sakai for the first time. As always, a table full of original art, posters, pins, stickers, sketchbooks, and more. Stan is ever gracious when asked for an autograph or signing a book, I'm afraid I abused the privilege, I got several hardcover books signed, (Senso, the 2013 yearbooks, and the TMNT collected editions). I picked up a commissioned sketch of one of my favorite characters, Inazuma. I didn't hog the line, Stan was always busy, so I kept coming back at intervals . . .
The 2019 convention yearbook was a tribute to Blacksad by Canales and Guarnido, and featured a painting done by both Stan and Julie. I'll try to post some of these images tomorrow!
