The Postcards: I had a few thousand of these postcards printed by Diego and Sons Printing Inc., before I left Sydney. Diego and Sons are based in San Diego and they did a fantastic job. They were very professional and delivered the boxes to my hotel the day before I arrived, so they were ready to be handed out the first day of the con. They printed them on 8.5 x 5.5 on glossy 300gsm stock and looked great. If you have any printing needs and are in the San Diego area, I would recommend them highly!
Paige (Mandy) with the Red Giant cards...ready to go on her first day. She didn't stop smiling...a real professional! Red Giant is an online graphic novel that will be available for viewing here.
Paige again...with the C&T cards...ready to flog my crap to any unsuspecting passerby. Some exciting news is just around the corner about Cog & Turbine...but at the moment I can't reveal anything more other than its a 3d animated kids show for ages 4 -8.

The Comic-Con 2011 International Souvenir Book: I had a piece of artwork printed in the comic-con souvenir book...and those keen-eyed Kirby fans might recognise the piece I painted over.
The souvenir cover
The published piece
Kirby's original pencils, which I got from Twomorrows Kirby Collector (forget which issue)
My final painting -- bit rushed, but it'll do

My Loot: Part of the fun going to Comic-Con was meeting alot of other like minded artists, and I spent half of the first day talking with some of the artists at the small press tables. There was alot of great stuff and I tried to pick up as much as possible. I always try to support small press as much as possible because...hey, they're up against it. Here's a couple shots of some of my loot I came back with (and considering I had to lug it all the way back to Sydney I was only able to buy a small portion of what I would have liked to get).
Frank Robbin's Johnny Hazard: Scored an original piece of Frank Robbin's artwork at the con...really nice piece too!
Hope you dig!
