WonderCon 2012

Hello All!

Just wanted to share with you a few pics taken this past weekend at WonderCon in Anaheim.
Overall it was a good show...myself and my mates at the table had a good time with chatting with the folks that stopped by the table.
But myself and few friends with tables there on the floor did better sale wise last year when the show was in it's home of San Francisco. Hopefully, it will go back to SF next year...but one never know what the Comic Con folks will actually be doing for this event?

My sketchbook, Japon was well received by the folks that stopped by the table and picked up a copy...Stuart Ng picked a a few copies to sell at his store in Torrance.
Got a chance to do a few commissions as well...plus sell only two prints, I'll do better on the next convention. :P

Also, if anyone is interested please feel free to contact me about getting a copy of Japon over to you by pressing the "Buy" button right here on the blog. I'll gladly do a sketch for each sketchbook that's ordered.

Well, I'll catch you later and remember to doodle your buts off!

Cheers,
Axel
