What's Happen'in Everybody?
I know I'm super late, but I wanted to let you guys know that I indeed went to
NEW YORK COMIC CON 2016. Only went for 3 days, but still had a great time as always.
This year, it wasn't as crazy as last year in which I went to like a panel everyday and run back and forth between halls. Despite losing a good hour in the morning trying to get in, the show floor was just as cool as ever with plenty of vendors for video games, toys, and of course comics. Got to meet up with old friends in the industry, friends from school, and my brother as we checked out the exclusive merchandise/reveals.
In terms of panels, I only checked out the Crunch Roll panel and the One Punch Man panel. It's always exciting being in a large panel room with passionate anime fans. The Crunchy Roll panel revealed the new anime Children of Ether by LeSean Thomas that they are going to exclusively produce and stream. Looked amazing with the behind the scenes look. The One Punch Man panel did not reveal anything major, but I did get a chance to meet some of the English Dub cast.
Of course, no convention trip is complete without visiting the packed Artist Alley. I visited the regular artist friends I talk to and checked out their new work while hanging out with them at their table. This year, I decided to get comic artists to sign comics I have been collecting these past few months. It shows a great deal of appreciation of their hard work to make. I also make an effort to buy any artbooks I can find to help me study and expand upon my art style. Plus it's also the best way to get a collection of work by your favorite artists.
And that's pretty much all I have to say and share about NYCC 2016. Very simple and straight forward in terms of doing what I planned out despite the bigger crowd and line this year. I also took a photo with STan Lee since this was his last year at NYCC. It was such an honor to meet him in person.
If you guys wanna check out all 200+ photos from the convention, feel free to check out my Google Photo Album here:

Its a huge event sponsored by Crunchy Roll and many other companies to bring the biggest anime convention on the east coast. I really wanna make the effort to applying for the Artist Alley at the show and make my debut as a convention Exhibitor. It would be a great chance for you all to meet me in person, buy my prints/merch, and just have a good time at an anime convention. Stay tuned for updates on this and I really hope I can make it happen.
That's all I have for now. Going back to making some sweet artwork for you guys, so stay tuned for more and thank you so much for your support!
PEACE OUT!
