2015 Convention Schedule

[Mayhem]

Oh, you're hoping to come to London Super Comic-Con then Stan? That would be great

I was thinking about going as a couple of artists would be there I'd like to meet, but if you make it across, that's a definite ticket bought

I believe the one in Cardiff is a show that the comic place I get my pulls from attend to sell at, never been to it, but I hear good things in general.

hello sensei!
with ears and a smile as wide as usagis I am reading that you may be in the UK next year?
it is my birthday in march and I was thinking about a plan to visit you in spain grenada but uk would be great too...
so, london super comic con?or another con there?

[Stan Sakai]

I don't know if it is Super Comic-con. I think it is for London Film and Comic Con, at the end of February and Cardiff at the beginning of March. So Julie and I will be doing some sight seeing for about a week.

[coolray85]

sounds like you will have a great time.I was only once in the UK, and my visit was only a couple of days, but I really enjoyed myself there.london is a wonderful place

random(ish) question:
will there be a UK con that Stan will make? Thought Bubble springs to mind, but I'm wondering if it's something that would ever happen?

I have tentatively agreed to London and Cardiff (end of February, and beginning of March). I will post it on the schedule when things firm up. They also want to publish a sketchbook and a print.

I am hoping that Julie will join me.

zoiks!

this would be ridiculously cool...

as ridiculously cool as this is (and it really is!) fate, unseen in the background, was filling lead into the boxing glove...

or, I'm in Paris that weekend with my lovely wife.
although we are staying in London for a couple of nights afterwards, our flight lands just after the con ends.

right, I'm off to scheme and plot (well, go to bed!) and try and work out ways to make this happen...

or, as it turns out, ask my lovely wife, and she's re-jigged our flight so we can make the sunday!

Well, not only is tomorrow's Bakersfield Comic Con a ways to drive, but I ended up having to work tomorrow anyway, so I won't be making it to that convention. On the plus side, I saw this morning that Julie had a table at the Koi Krafters Christmas Show and she brought Stan along. Since it was only a 30 minute drive, I immediately grabbed my UY Gallery Edition, hopped in my car, and drove over. It was a fun little show (with free admission!) and Stan had crazy low prices on some 4x6 watercolors so I bought a pair. I was tempted to buy more, but didn't want to hog them all.

Stan drew me an enormous sketch in the Gallery Edition and I had a great time talking with Julie and him. I also spent some time talking to Daniel about the website, forum, video games and some other fun things. Keeping in mind that I'm usually terrible about taking pictures of Stan's booth as you guys have requested before, I made sure to grab a picture this time. I forgot that I was going to ask Julie about getting a commission from her at some point in the future, so I guess I'll have to wait until the next show. I'd love to get something from her to add to my collection.


Julie and Stan. They had a big 3-sided booth. That's Daniel in the background (with his back to us) manning the other side and a tiny piece of Emi (I hope I'm remembering her name correctly, as I'm horrible with names) selling merch on the third side.


Got my Gallery Edition signed and sketched!


The two watercolors I grabbed. There was a third one I wish I would have purchased; a human flying a windsock/kite thing. But like I said, I didn't want to hog them all.

[Eltanin]

Great pics Jabba! And congrats on the watercolors, they are adorable.

[Maka]

Great pictures. How nice. Glad you got those two cute art pieces too. Thanks for sharing! Peace, maka

Edit: first gallery edition signed!

[Lobster Johnson]

Those are great! And your Gallery Edition sketch is magnificent. Congrats!

[maichan]

Kyle, all I have to say is "Super Cool!"

I saw Stan announce the Koi Krafters show yesterday, and if we hadn't of already had plans I would have driven out there too.
I am so envious of the watercolors you got... those are just too neat! I like seeing Usagi in all his Chibi glory!

Congratulations all around!

I hope I'll be able to meet Julia in the future and get one of her Usagi watercolours as they are adorable

[Trevis Woods]

Fantastic pictures, love the watercolor pieces! Pretty epic Gallery edition sketch as well. Thanks for the table pics for those of us that live so very far from Cali.
