Cool. I'll be with my friend EK (big-big-truck, her studio name) in the Auditorium. It looks like Stan will be in the hall. Looks like there will be lots of interesting stuff though.

I'll be there and I expect a friend of mine (who is a big Gen fan) to show up also. If there are any SciFi fans, I'll also have copies of an anthology comic that was made for WorldCon in Tokyo (2007) that has various works by Japanese SciFi fans/comic artists. I've got to confirm the cost, but they'...

There's a great "homestyle" (comfort foods) restaurant on the south side of town. Of course there's plenty of TexMex all over town. The local chinatown has recently grown a bit and there's some good restaurants in there. Whole Foods main store is downtown, and they have an AWESOME breakfas...

Happy (belated) New Years all!

How did you spent the 31 of December

I was actually at a temple right near Tokyo Tower on Dec 31 (which is also my birthday) and let me tell you, the New Year's crowd in Tokyo is INSANE. (back in USA now)

Stan,

Will you be taking/doing commissions at STAPLE! here in Austin? If not (or even if so) could I possibly request something in advance and pick it up at the show?

How about a story connecting Usagi & Tomoe with the "red string of fate"? I've had that story (plus a Komori and a kite festival) in my head ever since the Komori were introduced. I think it'd be really interesting if the whole thing was the normal b&w except for the string.

One more from Austin, TX! See ya'll at Staple next year.

Thank you very much.

Best,

As a fan of Ah My Goddess, Usagi Yojimbo and Tomoe Ame specifically, that is really awesome.

Usagi tags along with Noriyuki to meet with Tomoe's new husband soon after the wedding. Usagi manages to finagle a one-on-one meeting with Tomoe. There he sees she has a bruise under her eye and a swollen lip. She had 'fallen'. Well Usagi can well guess at the truth. I SERIOUSLY doubt this for two ...

If they keep the same location as last year, it will be north of downtown off I-35 (I think). I think they were over west once or twice. The one I went to was south of downtown, I don't think they'll be on the university campus since there's not really good usable space there plus parking is terribl...

Wow, I didn't know you were coming to Staple either, yeah, there's several good restaurants here in town. If you have a specific type of food you'd like to eat while in town there's a bunch of options. I dunno how many people are here, but could we do a dojo get-together here?

Awesome pictures. Am I overthinking it, or is it of INTENDED relevance that:
-Tomoe occupies the central position
-Chizu is trying to push her way in
-Mariko is "falling" out

Awesome pieces for Mayhem, who is the "3rd"? I'm fairly certain Tomoe is in the center (deservedly so, I'm shocked if she's not in the pic), I'm actually slightly (but shouldn't be) surprised that Mariko is in there, but the glare leaves the 3rd lady a mystery and I can think of at least 2...
