Anthrocon--what to bring

[Stan Sakai]

Is anyone here going to Anthrocon in Philadelphia? If so, is there anything in particular you would like me to bring? You can post your requests here, or e-mail me. I'll be traveling fairly light, so it's better to contact me beforehand rather than hope that I'll bring whatever it is you want.

I've already gotten one request for The Art of UY.

Hi Stan, just wondering what original art you might be bringing for sale, covers, pin-ups, etc. Thanks and hope to see you there. Also, what hours will you be attending on Saturday?

I'll bring misc art--covers, paintings, and con drawings like those that are printed on the back covers of the comics.

Since I'm not one of the Guests of Honor this year, my commitments are pretty light. I should be at my table in the Dealers' Room most of the time during con hours.

I didn't even realize you were going to be there this year.

Well, LAST year you had told me to make a request post to your forum before a show appearance, to see if you could squeeze in a "dancing girl" original drawing for a themed art collection I have, similar to the "Nouveau" collection you did the drawing for that I'm using for my icon. If you could bring something like that to either Anthrocon or San Diego, that would be great, I'll be attending both shows. See you there.

I love the noveau illustration Stan did for your collection. I'd love to see him do something in a similar style with a scene involving a handful of the prominent females in Usagi's life, perhaps sharing stories among themselves about about Usagi over sake in some racuous tavern. (hint hint).

I was the go-between for Anthrocon getting in touch with Peter Laird and, since Peter rarely goes to conventions anymore, I figured I'd take this opportunity to meet him half-way (or more like 3/4 of the way). He's a good friend and Anthrocon is a good excuse to see him again.

I'll have a table next to Mirage's. Since I drew Tomoe for your art nouveau collection, I thought I'd keep up the tradition and do a dancing Tomoe. I'll bring it to Philly.

Excellent! See you there!

Hi Mr. Sakai, this is Rodney, Im the one who bought various covers & con drawings from you. I just wanted to let you know that even though it seemed you had a hectic weekend you were very gracious & a pleasure to meet. Thank you & I hope to see you at Icon 25 in March.
