Comic con 2010 pt2

I got an opportunity to meet one of my top 4 divas of all-time Lita. I've actually now have met 2 out of my top 4, Lita & Victoria, now only Trish Stratus and Chyna left to go (well hopefully Trish).

I gave her one of the WWE cards I made and took a pic (cost me $25 bucks unfortunately). It was a cool moment.
Then I met former Diva Miss Jackie (I'll elaborate more on that on my other blog ) and saw some of the other pro wrestling legends, celebrities and artist. I do wish I got a picture with Linda Hamilton and Adam West but both of their booths were extremely crowded as you might expect.

A much better pic of me vs. TNA Knockout Tara aka Victoria.

Wizard Chicago Comic-Con 2009

This year I'll be participating for the first time at Wizard World's Artist Alley.
My former American Academy of Art classmates, Matthew McCarty, Marcello Biott, Jodi Hoover and myself will be sharing a table (good looking out Matt). Wizard World is one of the largest traveling conventions in the world that showcases everything comic books, video games, film and anime.
I've been to the event in the past and was able to meet Walt(Thor) and Louise Simonson(Steel) and they both gave me really good feedback on my artwork. This time I'm looking to take advantage of being there for a longer period of time and meeting more people and interacting with fans (crazy costumes and all). My friend and writer Ronnie Reo(SaSunian Prophecy) is also coming along to check out the madness for the first time, and we're gonna have a ball. Other AAArt alumn are gonna be there too, so it should be a good time.

Michael Jackson 1958-2009

Music and pop culture icon Michael Jackson past away from cardiac arrest.
Granted his career was marred by controversy especially in his last few years but what it really comes down to, the guy was talented and gifted. He was known and loved worldwide for 40 years. I think his impact is bigger than Elvis' was on pop culture.
He was very eccentric and troubling at times but I was kinda hoping that he would finally get it together after this tour put out one more album of just pure hits (not a bunch of whining Heal the world songs) and get the redemption he deserved just for art sake. I mean whenever I leave this Earth I would love for people to remember me as a whole person and for my art. No I won't miss MJ the person because I did not know him, but his music will definitely live on.

Shots out to the family of actress Farrah Fawcett who also died yesterday at 62 years old. And to the family of little Jada Justice of Indiana (this is becoming way too common in our community).

Peace.
