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!

New Amano Jyaku Sketchbook!

Ahoy fellow pinup fans!

I just wanted to interrupt your intranet (porn) viewing to official announce the arrival of my Volume 4 Foreplay! Sketchbook! Hot off the presses! In this volume, I wanted to give you a showcase of the grey scale Copic marker sketches I’ve done for my loyal supporters! Its 24 pages of sexy pinups to titillate the naughty cartoon pinup lover out there! Plus as an added bonus I decided to make the back cover a “sketchcover” so you can request your very own personalized marker sketch:

Request your custom marker sketch on the back!

For those of your following me on DeviantArt, Twitter and Facebook, you will have noticed my Pre-Order special! What I’m doing for the first 20 loyal Amano supporters who order from my online shop will get the sketchbook+marker sketch for the low price of $20.13US. There are still slots available so make sure you visit my online shop to place your order. Click here.

I would also like to say that Emerald City Comic Con is less than 2 weeks away! I’ll be representing my fellow Washingtonian artists again this year at Table R-01 selling sketchbooks, prints and original pinup arts! Because of the limited time I have to draw at the show, if you interested in getting some original artwork and don’t want to wait in queue or get cut off, drop me an email. We can arrange something on Paypal, that way you can just pick up your art and enjoy the show. This year is out to be the biggest yet! Amazing considering attendance last year was over 60, 000. You hear us SDCC?? We are taking this West Coast for all nerdkind! YAR!!  haha.

To my Canadian pinup fans in the Vancouver, British Columbia area… Amano will be balls deep in you in April for the Fan Expo show April 20-12! So stoked!

That’s all for now, I look forward to seeing you guys in person in the next couple months. Make sure you following me on your favorite social network and don’t forget to spread the word to others by hitting “like”! I have secret little contests going on and you only win if you pay attention! ^_~

Peace and Rum,
