If you are reading this is because I have successfully survived Emerald City Comic Con last weekend. If you missed out of the shenanigans and whatnot, well then grab your favorite beverage and sit back and enjoy the following con review!

What makes this show different from all the dozens of shows I’ve attended? Well, its in my backyard of course! That means no TSA rectal searches, red-eye flights or tiny bottles of rums. Tiny bottles of rum. Really? We go big here in Washington!

Friday lunchtime beverages are served!

Con goers got to enjoy another 3-day jam packed Nerdapalooza! And from what little I got to see away from my table was easily twice as large as last year! I was pleased to see the turn out! I just want to clarify that when I say the show rules, its the people who come to the show that make the show epic! A big thank you to everyone who stopped by the table to chat! There were so many of you but you know who you are… thank you! A bigger thanks goes out to everyone who spent some of their hard earned dabloons to buy some Amano art! You keep me doing what I’m doing! Cheers to you all!

Amano will be hitting the first annual Las Vegas Comic Expo Sept 29-30th, 2012! Update (9/19/2012), the convention staff took my advice and moved the show to a new venue, The Riviera Hotel & Casino. A much bigger venue with much more room for strippers and the rum barrels! What? There is a strip club on the premises? They thought of everything! ^_^

This is my first time bringing my pinup art to Sin City. Seems like an appropriate place, right? So get your bottlecaps ready (yup that’s a Fallout reference for my fellow Steam players)! Pick up some original artwork, prints and sketchbooks. I will be drawing all weekend long so come by early and get on my commission list! If you want an example of the kind sketches I will be doing visit my DeviantArt sketches section. Come by and see me at Table T88!

I will have an convention extra pass for any sexy showgirls out there who want to come to the show and be my table girl. Please email at amano(at)amanojyaku(dot)net if you are interested.

Please spread the word and I’m looking forward to the strippers seeing you all there!

Bat country, here I come!

Hey Intrawebz!

I know you missed me.
Sometimes I just have to unplug and do terrestrial things. Well I’m finally
back to HQ safe and sound. Spicy didn’t burn the place down at all. Rumor has
it he was down in Tijuana all weekend long, go figure.

Times Square, Manhattan 2/6/2009

New York City was great! The comic book convention was a fantastic excuse to take a trip out there. It wouldn’t take much for me to live there that’s for sure. It gets very little sleep just like me, too! Got to do a little site seeing at night. Its amazing to me just how many people were out in Times Square so late at night! It wasn’t like back when I was growing up there… adult theaters, hookers, pimps with no style. Its a total tourist trap

..

Danger, giraffes!!!

Got the grand tour from my brother, who lives in the city. We hit the four story Toys R Us… yeah I don’t wanna grow up can u tell? haha. Man they had the coolest displays there:

Check out this cool web slinging Spidey!

Playmobiles on glowing stars!

Ginormous mechanical dinos!

Down the street there was even a whole store dedicated to M&Ms… I mean literally every color imaginable!

Rockefeller Center was a blast! No skating for me, but I busted a gut laughing at everyone who bit the biscuit on the ice! I is evil!

I am a huge architecture buff. So I spent more of my film snapping pictures of statues and building decore. This city is particularly amazing for it! Check out Atlas flexing his muscles… this one is for the ladies!

Even got to stop by Magnolias for some midnight cupcake nosh. Red velvet was crazy delicious!

Needless to say, I was still programmed to West Coast time so having to get up at 7am was painful. I was totally zombified throughout the con! bleh! I was super fortunate to have
the most beautiful and talented ladies keeping company at the table:

Fenny and Paigey!

I felt much safer with the Green Lanterns protecting out rums.

These ladies were totally rockin some smexy corsettes.

A very sexy Pheonix (thanks to my brother for the recon photography!)

This guy was just freakin hilarious… MUCH MUCH drunker than me!

A very VERY gangsta Poison Ivy, kudos to you grrl I don’t know if I could have braved the cold weather with only a few leaves to cover me naughty bits!

I have way more pictures to go thru. I will prolly be posting some up in my gallery. I had a outstanding time in New York! I heard the con is bumped to October 2010… you KNOW I’ll be there for it!

Thank you to everyone who came by my table… thank you for all your support! Looks like Mega*Con is only a few weeks away. I will definitley be looking forward to warmer climates!

Viva le pinup,
