whew! i'm back from comic con, and i'm back with twice my weight in comics! more on that in my next post. First i talk about what is most important at comic con. geeks who for some reason see the need to spend time making (or money buying) costumes of their favorite things.
(this is by no means a comprehensive list of all that were in costume at the convention. if anything it is only one tenth of those who dressed up).
in no particular order of course.
sssssh.... jaba's sleeping.
meet me on valhalla.

whoa- was that Mike Matessi? He was one of my freshman year drawing instructors at SVA. I remember him arguing the superiority of Disney animation compared to Ghibli. Fuck that.
(Also, the tie-fighters win the coolest-nerds prize.)
yea, tie fighters were my favorite nerds too.
geez, who doesn't know matessi? he is one of the creative directors where at leapfrog, where i work from time to time. despite the disney ghibli thing he's a pretty cool guy.
Woah crazy. Mike Mattessi totally introduced me to you in SD. Damn, I wish I had picked up some of your work there. I think I met you like 5 minutes after I arrived at comic con and I was still in that crazy haze caused by the overwhelming sensory shock of arriving at Comic Con.
And the fact that Tom noticed Mike in that photo of the Halo dude is amazing on multiple levels.
ha. that's funny.
yea it's a crazy little world! definitley stop by at the next con.
