It's here again!
So, I rushed to get the tickets to the event as fast as I could because I hadn't had much time(work was my reason, sorry I know, lame excuse right?). In fact I bought the ticket one day before the event.
For those overseas, Here's a little rundown of the event:
If you ask me why I was there, well, I wanted to attend the talks. Here's what I attended:
Take for example the "Toy creator: The Tool Kit". Jason Freeny's work is amazing. He brings us through how he started drawing all the way to how toy manufacturers(namely Mighty Jaxx) adopted his ideas for their toys. His trademark "anatomy" work started off with the fascination over a balloon dog. From there, he broke down how the bones and veins and muscles would form an inanimate object. Soon, we were awed by his other works like the anatomy of a gummi bear and lego-man, to name a few. Which begs the question; How does he do that? God knows. The whole audience was impressed that I spent a considerable amount of time chatting with the person beside me on how wonderful the ideas and toys are!
Another geek treat was in store for me later that afternoon as Adam Hughes, C.B Cebulski, Adi Granov and Jim Cheung shared with the audience their time doing comics. It raised a hell lot of questions. For those of you who'd think being a comic artist is easy, let me tell you: All four of them agreed that there's no free time for them! I remember a remark Adi made about how difficult it is when he has bills to pay, and he's rushing his pages for deadline, when his average time on one page is 2-3 days(and they get paid per page)!
Alright, alright, I shall not bore you with details. I took some photos of the shops, the showcases, the activities and the cosplayers there. Off course I did some shopping! Exclusives? maybe;)
So there you go! Here's to another year gone! Now, to look forward to next year!
