Re: Anaheim/WonderCon?

I love having WonderCon at the Moscone Center in SF, but accept it's not happening Spring 2013 due to Moscone. I could get used to it in the Fall. I loved seeing Stan at the con this year, but didn't find much to like at Anaheim myself. The access for vendors moving merchandise to their booths was v...

Re: How to make comics the Stan Sakai way

I have all three of those publications so it wasn't new to me. Stan, I actually found one of these pages on the web because Adam Warren posted a link on July 23 from his twitter account: http://twitter.com/EmpoweredComic http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m2ndxgXidB1qfgcv5o4_1280.png Another friend s...

Re: San Diego Comic-con--what to bring

Please save a Book 26 hardcover and a sketchbook for me.

I've reviewed my art collection and I believe I need a Mariko. Perhaps doing some calligraphy or reading a scroll.

Best,

I don't have to worry about passes as I go as an exhibitor, but this pass situation is really getting wild. I've observed all the news and complaints about online sales and the hotel reservations. It seems their computer system can hardly handle it so it seems crazy to go strictly online. I have a t...

Thanks for the reply, Stan.

Stuart saw him at the Forest Lawn Museum reception for the Bill Stout-curated animal and wildlife art exhibit. I figured he may get around in cartooning circles.

Best,

Storytime at the Cartoon Art Museum

Yesterday, I went to the Cartoon Art Museum http://cartoonart.org/ and saw Stan's original art for the two-page Cut the Plum story along with it's thumbnail hanging on the wall. I almost missed it, but there's a column with two original Usagi Yojimbo puzzle pages. One is the 10 ginkyo leaves puzzle....

I've already been notified that I have been assigned my booth--it will be 4906, as usual. Stan, did you look at the map yet? Stuart and his bookselling friends will be in the same place, but the con moved the video game booths to the back of Hall G and Artist Alley will fill up the space from aile ...

I'll take one of those and the latest sketchbook. And the new Fantagraphics collection if it shows up.

Sweet relief, I was looking over booth placements on the exhibitors' login area and found Sony's karaoke booth moved over to the corner of Hall G in aisle 5200. So Stan at 4906 and my brother's Stuart Ng Books at 5012 will be free of the noise pollution. Stan will be facing Steve Morger's Big Wow Ar...

Looking forward to WonderCon.
