Comic-Con Friends (Part 1)
Hey Buckaroos!
I was lucky enough to spend a day down at the San Diego Comic Con and saw all sorts of fantastic and wild stuff!
Here’s Chris’ Reed Gunther Mez-It on display, looking suave and ready for action:
And here’s the rest of those crazy Mez-Its.
I finally had the chance to meet the incredibly talented and all-around super nice guy, Pascal Campion, who provided a fantastic Reed Gunther pin-up for the Steak Snacking Snake. Pascal’s artwork is full of hilarious characters, bursting with beautiful colors and light, and packed with a truckload of emotion. Pascal has a fantastic blog where he posts a drawing a day that you have got to check out!
Here’s Pascal’s rendition of Chris and his lovely girlfriend Kassandra (who also contributed a pin-up for the first issue!)
I didn’t take too many pictures while I was there, but here’s a brief recap of what I saw. Of course, none of the pictures have me in it cause I was too busy going “Oooh! Whoaa! Check that out!” Anyway, enjoy the more goofy parts of the con that I felt necessary to take photo evidence of:
The Con Floor! Watch out or you’ll get sucked away by it’s nerdy undertow (which totally happened to me)!
I love it when Star Wars and Real Life mix.
And this Joker tried to sell me used Suckers! (Get it?! Joker? Sucker?)
Finally, I love these guys. Gambit really committed as well with red eye contacts.
Comic-Con was a blast! Maybe next year both Chris and I can make it with Reed Gunther in tow!
Many thanks to Scott and Paul from Red 5 Comics for bringing me down for a great day! Thanks guys!
