ComIck Con nerd quest-o-thon 2006 super deluxo edition with sprinkles

Hmmmmm......yes........

I am going there with some fellow nerd girls. Maybe we shall see more of San Diego than just the convention center? Some people asked if I'm going to have anything new there. Not really. But if you have money to burn and are into that sort of thing, Stuart Ng's booth should have copies of sketchbooks "Banana Cat" and the really old shitty "Oxytocin" for sale. Nucleus' booth might have copies of the sketchbooks too, along with "Pirouette" and "Arrow Bird" prints. Sell Out R Me.
There is alot of stuff to see and do. On Saturday, there's this for those who are interested:
Sat. 7:00-9:00 The Batman Q&A, followed by Teen Titans: Trouble in Tokyo World Premiere Screening.

There are plans for a Martha Baxton auction. Martha is like the den mother for many Calarts animation grads, and her husband became ill recently. Some of the students have banded together to help raise some funds to try to make life a little easier for Martha and her husband. More up to date info here.


Just heard that Tria maybe discontinuing some of their marker colors. I couldn't find much info online about it, but www.artsuppliesonline.com mentions the line is being revamped, and that the new markers will not correspond to the Pantone matching system. Yippie. :C Guess Leo Hobaica was right. I need to start painting with gouache.

Monday, I went to Disneyland. They have an Asimo exhibit in Tomorrow Land, but my camera doesn't want to talk to my computer.(I'm stupid, I got it to work. Lame Disneyland photos here). Luckily, Youtube has a better video anyway. They are coming so close to jumping off the stage and strangling humans. Oh Asimo, you are so cute.



All nerds have a safe trip during your migration down south. Remember to bathe every day!!!!!

I find the Q-rio much better than Asimo.

Bwahahaha! now I have the power to comment!!
Anyway hi Brianne, I finally broke down and got a blog-account since all the cool kids seemed to have one and I always wanted to comment on peoples journal entrys.
Anyhow, maybe I'll run into you there, although with the crazy amount of people there, probably not.
I saw your stuff at the nucleus booth at Anime expo by the way, and sat behind Cathy in the artist alley.

PotatoFarmGirl said...

Q-rio is a bit less creepy, he seems to move better too. Yay chips!!!!!

Brian Growe said...

Yay, you're going to the Con! Will you have your own booth? I hope you can stop by our Hard Ei8ht booth. I'll be there Chia with your co-worker Mr. "The Gute"... Disneyland! Asimo/Skynet scares me but I know that I must submit to his rule soon. Awesome post-it drawings as always Miss Brianne!!

Brian Growe said...

Whoops, I mean "with Chia and with your co-worker..."

Michael Chang said...

Alexei Martins said...

"Roboto" the future is now...hehehe...

Boogervampire said...

Based upon previous horror stories you've told me about Comicon, please remember to bring your can of cheap CKone imitation perfume to spray around while you walk through the sweaty crowds of people nerding out about toys and porn.

Also. . . It's about freakin' time you posted that damn spider!! I've been waitin' for two WEEKS.

:D

Dee said...

aaahh..yes, that time of year again. Where everyone filters down to a huge but packed convention center and enjoys their nerdy-ness. I'll be there! hahahaa....
Banana cat is so cute! I hate spiders, but yours looks so sweet! ;) It was good to see you the other night too! Maybe I will see you again soon. Cheers!

Unknown said...

It was really cool meeting you at the con Miss Brianne! You're super-nice! And thanks so much for picking up a copy of our book!

Alan said...

Great art as usual!

The Con is quite a fun experience. It's like Burning Man for Nerds. I'm still detoxing from it.

Scott Tolleson said...

Brianne,
It was great meeting you at the con. Thanks for buying the crappy book too! Also, I think I might be on your ass throughout the year to get a new book out.

Unknown said...

Abby Goldsmith said...

Cute photos of Skippy. And I like how you can make even a spider look cute ... if they really looked like that, I wouldn't be afraid of them.

PotatoFarmGirl said...

But Abby, that IS how spiders look. What chu talking about?
