Re: A Few Comic Fest 2016 Pics
Those are great photos. You must have a nice camera. It was fun to see you, grusagi and Robert at Stan's talk. Bryan Talbot was in the audience too. I thought it was a fun talk.
I didn't think about doing a group picture. After Stan's talk, I chatted with Robert. Then Spam, Grusagi, Cheryl and I talked. Then I realized the next panel had started (and I sure I was being too loud). So we said goodbye and parted ways. I did get a picture with Stan with my family that Daniel was nice enough to take. I'll post it here soon.
Edit:
It was nice to meet Daniel too. He spend some of his childhood in Monterey Park, where I grew up, so that was fun. Stan said he likes his new home and has been practicing archery lately.
. I got to see some of the pages of the new issue (I was reading it page by page with the kids. It is amazing to see Stan's original art in progress. It is just so big and beautiful. And the fun sketches on the back of some of the pages too.).
I picked up my 20th UYD comic (84/150) and Steve's too. Stan always does a special sketch for Steve, that I'm sure Steve will share with you all. I picked up some UY vol. 1 comics for coolray (Mars). Bought four Usagi Chop pins for the kids, who wore them with pride. Stan also sketched in my artist edition and did a bearded self-portrait in my sketchbook!
Edit:
There is a new product coming out a few weeks you all can look forward to. I didn't know about it. An Usagi coloring book. I think it will be fun for us to create a post here sharing our coloring versions of UY.
It was a very fun day. I really enjoyed myself and was grateful to my family for being willing to come along and enjoy themselves too. Stan was super nice as always.
Peace, maka

Nice photos 
A colouring book? Interesting... will that be available at retail (comic store), or just through the Usagi online store?

Daniel is spearheading the coloring book. It will probably only be available through the UY website or from me at conventions.

I wasn't able to attend but I would like to extend a big round of thanks to Maka, who picked up a couple of drawings for me (one from Stan, and another from Julie).
