WonderCon--what to bring?

Post by Stan Sakai »

WonderCon is really sneaking up on us. Is anyone going, and would like be to bring anything in particular? I will have a booth at the show.

I have UY Saga 1&2 in HCs and trades, sketchbooks, cover art, back issues, limited copies of individual trades, etc.

You can either post your want list here or PM me.

Will there be any WonderCon exclusive Usagi promo material or a new signing card/mini-print this year?

And I know it is still quite early for asking, but will you have a new sketchbook for the San Diego Con?

Also, is it too early to inquire about a possible commission drawing to be picked up at San Diego Con?

Thanks....
Steve

I need to pick up some sketchbooks. I don't have any so far (well, I just won #1 on eBay the other day, but I know you're out of those anyway), so would be interested in any sketchbooks you might bring.

Also Stan, did you get my Facebook PM about a possible commission? (my real name is Kyle Wright) If not, let me know and I can PM you here about that. That's if you're even accepting any commissions for WonderCon.

I have not been on FB since returning from Kansas City. I have been too busy.

I may have some UY canvas tote bags. I want to see how they sell, before getting more made.

Those should be popular with anyone at the convention who is carrying around a copy or two of the Usagi Yojimbo Saga.....

....or other stuff. :D

Will they include a pre-printed illustration or logo, or possibly just blank bags with original drawings on each?

Either way would be cool!

I'll shoot you a PM here then.

As for a canvas tote bag, I'd love to pick one up at the show.

I wanted to go, but I can't..... :cry:

Curious about the tote bag though. Is it the same as (similar too) the one Steve showed?

Indeed, if the tote bags actually look like what Steve posted (with a Usagi image on it), then I'd be interested too.

One note regarding my personal preference for a bag.... While I'd buy a tote bag like the one illustrated (would make a great grocery bag), I'd personally prefer something more in the lines of a shoulder bag vs a hand bag - in other words something with a longer handle. I find that style more useful & practical especially if I'm going to use it at a convention.

Something that could be used like this, but without the flap. Just a thought...

I will be at WonderCon, booth 1078, this weekend. I will have the usual books, sketchbooks and art but, for the first time, will have some Usagi tote bags. They will be great for carrying your con purchases.

If anybody is attending WonderCon and can afford to pick up an extra bag, I would really like one of the ones in the third photo.
