SD Comic-Con 2006 v3
During my exciting adventures at the San Diego Comic-Con, I met a lot of great folks (and got a lot of autographs). With all their dedication and creativity, here are just a few of the people who made the show super.
Randall Christopher from Kleeman and Mike
Finally meeting this guy was pretty cool. His artwork and humor are fabulous and he’s quite talented creating Flash movies. Just seeing Kleeman and Mike surfing, skating or running around reminds me of my wild and crazy younger years. Be sure to check out his site - Kleeman and Mike.
The Flight crew
It was good to see Kazu, Phil, Rad, Reagan and the gang again after going to their signing party. These accomplished artists really have a lot of energy. This time around I got to meet Jeff Smith and Bill Plympton. I’ve been a fan of Jeff’s since the first Bone comic. While at the Flight booth I also got to talk with Joey Weiser, whose wonderful work I posted about awhile ago.
Kazu showed me some of his work for his upcoming book which will be his best work to date - Amulet. It was great to get a sneak peak at his work and if you want to see more, you’ll just have to wait for it to be released later in 2007.
Dan Goodsell and The Imaginary World of Mr Toast!
It’s always good to see our friend Dan. We bought several pieces of his colorful artwork and had a good time with him throughout the Comic-Con. His Mr Toast plushes were a hit with just about everyone that walked by his booth and I believe that he almost sold-out of his t-shirts and artwork. He’s got some grand ideas for the future, so keep an eye on his world.
Andy Runton and Owly
I was also able to meet Andy and check out his work. Unfortunately I was a little slow to pick up his Owly plush, which sold out quickly, but he assured me that they will be available on his site in the future. Andy’s affection for wildlife shines through his stories of Owly and the other creatures. It’s great to get back with nature.
There’s more great Comic-Con highlights to follow. Did you miss the show? Perhaps you can win our contest and get yourself some great loot from the Comic-Con.
Pretty sweet, huh?
