Michel Gagne and I collaborated on the Anthrocon program book cover. For a look at it, go to:

It looks nice.

How did you work on it? Did someone drawn a part of the cover and then the other drew on top? How do you decide what to do and how?

Kon nichi wa,
I guess this is as good a time to ask for information and or help in eventually obtaining copies of the Anthrocon Program and, more importantly, the International Comic-Con San Diego Program since, as usual, I'm stuck in Michigan without the time or finances to attend conventions so far from home.
Arigato...

It was Michel Gagne who came up with the idea for the collaboration. I had an idea for it, and, when we met in Seattle, I discussed it with him. I then roughed out the drawing, sent it to him. He inked his characters, sent it to me. I inked mine, sent it to him. He finished the backgrounds, dropped in the title, and colored it on the computer. It took about three weeks or so--mainly waiting for the postal service.

You might try e-mailing AnthroCon though their website:

www.anthrocon.org

They're a small enough organization that may send you a copy.

San Diego, on the other hand, is huge and such a request might get lost in all the paper work and committees. They ran out of program books last year, because the crowd was even bigger than they anticipated. They've got an even bigger area this year, but the con's been growing by leaps and bounds. I'm very pleased with the page I did for this year's book. Maybe someone could post it on the board after the con.

That cover was very cute. I'm not familiar with the other guy's artwork.
