DISNEYLAND AUTOGRAPH BOOK (MoCCA)

For this trip, I started what will hopefully be a new tradition-- getting folks to sign my "Official" Disneyland Autograph Book. I've still never been to Disneyland, but this thing acquired from a friend is the perfect size for getting signatures and sketches... it even has a little loop to hold your pen!



IN THE AUTOGRAPH BOOK (to date):


Jessica Abel, new mom and author of La Perdida


Tom Neely, self-publishing wizard cartoonist behind The Blot


Gary Panter, king of American outsider art, painter and head set designer for Pee Wee’s Playhouse


Michel Gondry, Mr. Whimsicle & director-turned-cartoonist


Kazimir Strzepek, master cartoonist and author of The Mourning Star, is upset about the marker bleed


Lynda Barry, My absolute hero and the nicest lady ever


Michael Kupperman, the funniest cartoonist working today

Awesome! Here's hoping you'll fill the whole book. I guess with all the conventions lined up, it might be a possibility? I don't know how many pages are in those things... anyway, congrats. I love Gary Panter's drawing :B

@sheisept: Thanks, I hope that I can keep it up... Cons like APE and MoCCA make it so easy to meet really talented, crazy awesome people if you let yourself act a little brash. Are you attending any later this year? SPX maybe?

@vincent: Thanks for checking it out!

@mimi: I'm hoping to bring it along to every con this year and getting as many folks as possible to sign. I'll post an update after comic-con.

And yes, we're just starting to work again on the zine (after Tokyo Zombie kept me busy for 8 months there)... Do you know MC Lars?? He is a buddy of mine from college, and contributed an awesome TMNT-themed illustration!
