Comic-con wrap up...

Yes, yes... I know It was in July, heh-
but too bad! I'm late, and with good reason too! errr... emm, hmmm.

Welp, to wrap up this years "Kahn" ( oh goody another nerd reference!)
Here's some pictures of the going's on:


I loved this batman, he was so "in to it." After this photo, he started jumping off some pillers infront of the GasLamp Hilton-- and then superman joined him! ahhhh humans are so cute when they get excited...The steampunkers are a cool addition to the convention-- I liked all the gadgetry everyone puts into their costumes.... And Thankyou to my wonderfully crazy designer friend Alisa Otten who joined me this year, ( Rick had to work..) So us broads...we painted the town green, drank on the train, and ate at this great lil' place called Cafe Noir.. Thanks Alisa!

Signed a ton of books.... Hurray!

--and last but certainly not least, I got to hang out with my Brandi Milne-- whom I adore..

Thank you everybody who stopped by and visited me in unfamiliar territory! Here's to the next bizarro art event we meet at - - -

love-mm

a huge sucking sound...

Strange.. I always feel like one of those little creatures in 'the Dark Crystal' after Comic-con-- you know, the ones that get their essence sucked out? - maybe it was the cheetos.

anyway- on to the next thing--- up to Faerieworlds! I'll do a big post when I get back...
