Some fun things I picked up in Long Beach

Post by paradise »

Went in with zero intention to buy, ended up with 3 pieces.

Richard Isanove is an amazing color artist, and a really good painter. We talked about Joe Quesada's personal collection including a HUGE Ninjak spread in his living room. Nice guy

My Layton XO/Solar collection is growing. Bob is an interesting dude, and i love seeing him and chatting. We are planning something VERY soon, so if you are in LA, there is a hell of a chance you will be able to meet him.

And a fun one by a good buddy of mine, and one of the best inkers in comics, Rick Basaldua (reg. inker for silvestri). He'll be at one of our stores for FCBD, so he can do valiant chibi's for anyone.

Yeah, it was fun. You were selling hardcore. I would hire you in a second to sell in my store :)

Also, had fun talking to Sean for the OTV Podcast. A couple of nice teasers there for the people listening. I guess by this weekend, it will be out.
The show was small, but pleasantly surprised by the overall quality. Like a good ole' comic book show.
