San Diego--what to bring?

Post by Stan Sakai »

It is coming up so fast!

Daniel wants to do a couple of projects in time for Comic-con. I don't know if we will have time for a new sketchbook, but a coloring book is in the works, as is some posters.

I also have a bunch of the Dojo's 20th Anniversary book that Steve printed. These are free to Dojo members who do not already have one.

I'll miss not having a sketchbook this year, but the coloring book will be a nice substitute. :D

Any ideas as to what the posters will be yet?




To those Dojo members attending SDCC, if anyone is willing to pick up items, LMK and I'll get in touch with you. :wink:

Unless some crazy circumstances prevent me from attending, I'll be there and am happy to make a shopping list.

I'm checking in my friends to see if any of them are attending this year. If they are, can I request a copy of your Betty and Veronica variant cover comic? I love how that turned out. I want to buy a coloring book and maybe the posters (depending on what they are and costs). I too sent Julie a question regarding a commission via her create in me FB page. Peace, maka

Let me know if you want me to pick stuff up for you. I can add you to the shopping list. Same goes for any other Dojo members. Just PM me with what you want.

Stan, if you've managed to find a sketchbook #2 or #3 sitting around during your moves, I'd be interested in those. Or the Usagi plush doll. I know those are long shots, but figured it doesn't hurt to ask. :D

One of these days I'll actually go one day to SDCC. At the end of the month I'll at least be on the same continent. Is there any other way to be a Colouring Book? I'll be in Canada.

Any idea on prices and sizes for the prints? Based on that Usagi figure for scale, I'm assuming 11x17?
They look AWESOME!

I asked on Twitter. Here's the reply, "@michaeltakahara I'm fairly certain we'll be pricing them around $20. They're 11 x 17 inches."

Peace, maka

One rabbit with frog please! :D

Will these be sold on Stan's website? I'm not asking anyone to pick one up for me.

I think Jae Lee's prints were $20 at Megacon.

Okay, I have a bunch of shopping requests for SDCC and am making my master list. If anybody wants anything, just let me know. I'm trying to get the majority of the list made by Tuesday so that I can do most of my shopping on preview night (Wed.), as that night gives me a solid 3 straight hours of shopping time since there aren't any panels that I'm attending.

I should be there all five days (Sunday is a maybe, but I'll likely stay for that day as well), so if you see something during the show that you want, just send me a PM, as I'll be checking the Dojo a couple times a day. Keep in mind that as the days go by, things start selling out, so if you really want a particular item, letting me know sooner rather than later can help avoid missing out.
