We had a blast at San Diego Comic Con. But first, I would like to thank Fred and Sarah for having us at the MegaGear/Megatokyo booth. We always enjoy hanging out with them at conventions. Sarah had a few AG items from the store and we brought with us the new AG posters, which sold out quickly. Fred had a sneak peek of the new Miho poster which will be coming out soon.

The poster looks really sexy in person. I spent a lot of time at the booth doing free sketches for readers. Of course Eve was the most requested character. What really surprised me was when someone asked for a Frost sketch. I went through a whole sketchbook and at the end I used the cardboard cover as paper.

I would like to thank all our readers that came to the table to meet us. You guys rock. I did step away from the table to check out the convention now and then. So if you came to the table and I wasn’t there, I apologize.

The con was huge and impossible to walk through because it had so many people. I was able to meet some of the top pros, which made me very happy. I met Jim Lee, Adam Hughes and Scottie Young. Since I had my Batman bag with me, I had to have it signed by Jim Lee right?

I was able to show my portfolio to Adam Hughes. He was really impressed with my work, his only comment was that I need to make a thousand more.

We met with Tycho and Gabe at their booth. Awesome guys as always. I gave them the fanart I did and they loved it. Hehe, I think Tycho was a bit speechless. I asked Gabe to scan the art for me when he gets the chance, since I’m an idiot and forgot.

Here are some pictures from the convention.

If we have the time and money, we will definitely go back next year.

Our next convention is Otakon. I think we mentioned this before, this year Applegeeks WILL NOT be in the artist alley. This year Applegeeks will be in the DEALERS ROOM. Just like SDCC, we’ll be sharing the booth with MegaGear/ Megatokyo. We will have our new posters and we will have the new Hawk and Eve shirts.
