I'll be updating this journal entry with this years photos and recaps or you should just all follow my Tumblr for real-time photo updates 8]


EMERALD CITY COMIC CON



Had a really great time! I got a table across from :iconmatteoscalera: and :iconericcanete:, two of my biggest art-heroes!

Then I went to party hard have dinner and go out for drinks with these coo guys a couple of nights, which was a real pleasure ;]
:iconthechamba::iconfooray::iconalvinlee::iconmarciotakara:


TORONTO COMICON



Got to hang out with my better half bro :iconjimbobox: and his ladeh :iconkimchii: in my favorite Canadian city! The convention itself was kinda small but that's okay since I had to man my table solo this time around and I still felt a lil' busy. Also my friend :iconchasingartwork: was there kicking ass and taking names!

I'm still in Toronto at the moment, we're looking at property! Planning to move here sometime in the future :d


FAN EXPO VANCOUVER



The folks over at the West coast keep me super busy, haha. Even though the convention floor is small and it only lasts 2 days Fan Expo Vanc is a tremendously generous experience! I even had someone from Bandai Namco Studios drop by interested in throwing me on a project and also got to meet some of my co-workers from DeNA Studios Canada! Also ran into SIN fans which STILL bewilders me to this day. I'm really surprised at how large the fanbase has grown!

:iconandreatamme: and I mostly hung out with :iconchasingartwork: all weekend. Walked around the rainy downtown area looking for hot restaurants to eat at. :d


CALGARY COMIC & ENTERTAINMENT EXPO



Despite it being my hometown I don't like Calgary, it's a pretty sorry excuse for a city. However, when it's time to throw down a comic convention CCEE's Artist Alley is THE TITS. I don't know why but it's still our best show (it holds records yo) even after New York & Emerald City (Seattle) so thanks to any of you that stopped by and grabbed my stuff, much appreciated! Also, much love to everyone who kept hassling me about getting SIN Volume 3 out, haha.

Usually I don't do jack at conventions except chatting it up with other artists but my top two favorite Game of Thrones characters decided to visit this year and I had my little sister helping out so we could step away from the table. :iconandreatamme: and I had the most enthralling experience ever meeting Peter Dinklage and Lena Headey

These two amazingly down-to-earth individuals were nothing short of awesome. Headey's so hilariously upbeat and inappropriate while Dinklage had this whole charming, kind gentlmen vibe about him. In fact, he took home a print of my Tyrion Lannister piece!

We ended up hanging out with :iconchasingartwork: and his buddy all weekend again except this time we took them to our favorite restaurants in Calgary. WE HAD LOTS OF MEAT. (Korean BBQ & Chinese Hot Pot)


OTTAWA COMICON



So Andrea and I caught the worst case of food poisoning on Friday night at this con hahaha. We both woke up vomiting Saturday morning (waking up :iconjimbobox: and his girlfriend whom we were sharing a room with, OOOOOPS <3) and feeling like complete shit. Of course, I didn't want the trip to be completely unsalvageable so I built up the strength to come on to the convention floor anyway.

What resulted was an interesting game of hide-behind-the-table-and-vomit-into-a-garbage-can-while-no-one-was-looking. I think I ended up saving the day because I managed to make sales while busting out a smile and everything but boy was that tough :|

My good friend :iconchasingartwork: and his girlfriend helped out a lot while we were sick though, I think I owe him dinner or a kidney. Haha <3


OTAFEST



Everyone has their humble beginnings, I guess Otafest was mine. It was the first convention I ever went to as an attendee and as an artist! Despite my lack of enthusiasm towards Anime/Manga over the years I still come back to it~ (Well the fact that it's local also makes it quite convenient but let's not cheapen the sentiment, hahaha)

I was stupidly busy this year which might've been a direct result from our location or the fact that :iconyanimator: and :iconnayuki-chan: weren't there kicking my ass (hahaha), either way it was a real pleasant surprise to see that my work still finds a lot of love with a slightly different demographic.

Here are plugs to some artist pals and new ones that I had the pleasure of meeting/talking to there!
:iconkamaniki: :iconmangokappu: :iconbrownrabbits: :iconsypri: :iconx-chan-:


ANIME NORTH



I won the table lottery for this convention that I've never been to, so I went in somewhat blind. It was also a little daunting not being allowed to display some of my work (They had a Marvel & Reboot ban, heh) so you can imagine my glee when it turned out to be my busiest convention so far this year and easily among my top 3 of all time!

I guess I'm used to Alberta's tiny Anime Conventions (being primarily a Comic Convention attendee) because I was really impressed with the scale of AN! From the Vendor's room, to Artist Alley and just the amount of panels activities, it was a change for sure.

So aside from people mistaking me for a Sheridan graduate (I guess that's a "thing" there, hahaha) the crowd was pretty much the norm! Ended up meeting / hanging out / print trading with some pretty cool people over the weekend including:

:iconyoung-street::iconnecosanma::iconrichytruong::iconorenji-kun::iconmikaelwang::iconsakimichan::iconerina:

and of course my bro
:iconjimbobox:

By the way a bunch of us discovered the greatest all-you-can-eat sushi place ever, 168Sushi! The restaurant looked great and the food was damn good quality, also you got to order food off of these cool tablet things! It felt very uh... sci fi? Hahaha.

Would you mind telling me how you display your prints? I see pvc and looking for a way to build something inexpensive and light. Would you reveal your setup? BTW prints look awesome!
