Let’s get our nerd on eh?

Ahoy pinup fans! I was fortunate enough to be part of last week’s FanExpo Vancouver! I know. I’m pushing international with my pinup arts bitches! Having lived in Washington State so long,  I feel British Columbia is so close they are just like neighbors who use funny coin currency and slather their french fries in delicious gravies! I will say crossing the boarder is always unnerving! Luckily, a little wave of the hand and some Jedi mind trickery got me into BC without a hitch! Read the rest of this entry »

Hey intrawebberz!

I wanted to let the dust settle in me brain before I sat down to write my breakdown of this past weekend’s shenanigans. Chicago Comic-Con…

…HOLY CRAP young Obi-wan and some blonde british girl are TOTALLY going at it in this movie…

oh err…sorry… I got distracted watching the movie Incendiary. I can’t type and watch TV at the same time. Focus! >_>

Wizard World Chicago:
I have to say Chicago is one of my favorite cities. It has a uniqueness and heart of its own. Every time I visit Chi-town, I discover something great. doing these conventions is very draining, mostly in part to the traveling. I don’t mind flying per say, it always reminds me of being young and flying with my parents. But its these awful 6hr red eye flights to get to a show at 9am that really takes the spring out of me step. It is nice to be greeted so grandly at the convention center:

I had to stop and check out this artist doing some amazing stuff with chalk:

These shows tend to be overwhelming to the senses, kinda like a kickass rock concert. It can be deafening. But once your there and you adjust and begin to enjoy, you never wanna leave. I think Halloween is alot like that for me as well. Unfortunatly, artists miss alot of the “cool stuff” that occurs by being confined to a table meeting con goers, peddling the wares and hustling to get drawings done for eager buyers. I want to share a few:

All was well until the appearance of THE SLEESTAK!!!!!

*huff puff*

Yeah I know creepy as shit! I held my own ground tho. Thank goodness there was pleanty of heroic babes to protect us:

You hardcore Amano followers prolly seen alot of these pics from my Twitter account.

And of course a trip to Chicago would not be complete without a piping hot slice of that deep dish pizza from Giardanos:

I had a pretty good time at the show. I want to thank all the artists I shared a table with… all the artists and attendees that I got the chance to talk to… and to Gary Coleman for that lapdance in the champagne room at Cheetahs, lol.

Till next time, peace and rum,

P.S.
There is no sex in the champagne room. 🙁
