I have been rather lax about posting where I will be appearing. Blame this on trying to catch up to my deadlines.

Anthrocon, Pittsburgh June 26-29

Obon Festival, Pasadena Ca July 19
guest of Heritage Source
www.heritagesource.com

Comic-con International: San Diego July 23-27

Mo-Kan Comics Conspiracey, Kansas City, MO September 20-21
The entire Groo team will be there.

University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, October 24-January 4
I will have a few pieces in the Out Of Sequence art show. I do not think I will make a personal appearance, though.

Sac-Con, Sacramento, CA December 14

Pacific-Asia Art Museum, Pasadena, CA February-August
I will be a part of a samurai art show from Hokusai to modern times. I will also be doing a presentation and book signing.
Dates to come

Emerald City Comic-Con, Seattle April 4-5, 2009
for Usagi's 25th

There are a few other events, but still tentative. I will post them as details become more definite.

Woo Hoo, I am counting down the days till Stan comes to KC !

Thank you for the fun!
Best wishes to all.

I will be at anthrocon and I hope so much to meet you there, Stan! You have been a huge inspiration to me since I was a very young child and will probably gush at you and have you sign a few books if you don't mind!

I'll look forward to meeting you. I'll sign whatever you bring.

Keira and I really wish we could catch you at Anthrocon this year, but we do have a pretty good excuse:

Hope to see you at Motor City next year!

This here sounds amazing Stan, do you have a website or any more information about this? Pasadena isn't too far from where I live now...

I met with the curator last week, and he picked out about a half dozen pieces. He told me the dates of the show, but I forgot them. I'll update you as I get more information.

Hi Stan--any possible appearances in Hawaii coming up in the next several months?

Maybe for Kawaii-Kon in (I think) April. They had asked in February if I was interested in returning for 2009. However, I am also slated for Emerald City that month, so it depends upon when Kawaii is being held.
