San Diego Comic-Con 2009: the Greatest Adventure!
Posted in Labels: 2009, character deformation, comic-con, kickstandlabs, maya, panel discussions
To sum everything up...Comic-Con 2009 was totally AMAZING. Not only was it my first time there, but I had been wanting to go for about FIVE years. Back in the day when I was a wee kiddie in Chiang Mai, I religiously followed the blogs/websites of Enrico Casarosa, Kazu Kibuishi, and Kean Soo. So when they got to go to Comic-Con, they would blog and post pictures about it, and be uber excited about EVERYTHING! and so, I got excited by everything and promised myself that I would have to make it to Comic-Con one day, even if I would have to fly there over to the States. I respected these guys and their work so much that I wanted to meet them in person and to work in their industry. So thanks to these guys, they became one of the reasons of why I came to California.
^ Enrico was SO FUNNY to talk to!
^ I look like a Spawnling.Alright, Hall H was epicly so hard to get into, but we managed to get in and the Panels where AMAZING! So some of the people and things we saw:
