Saturday, October 9: Saying "Hello" to Exhibiting Artist Friends

Saturday was a very busy day at NYCC; it was good that I decided to stop by and see exhibiting artist friends early - Kei Acedera and Peter Chan from Imaginism Studios in Toronto always have a busy booth. The company's current project is work on the bull frog, alley cat and blue jay from The Familiars; Sam Raimi is the executive producer of The Familiars for Sony Pictures Animation.



Doug and I met Echo at Fan Expo Canada 2010 and were happy to see her exhibiting at NYCC. She's a fun lady as is her assistant (right), Elena, who stopped by Artist Alley later Saturday afternoon to have Doug sketch her in Unpublished Sneyd. It was a surprise gift for her boyfriend Jason, who's currently overseas on military duty.

Doug and I met Stephen Silver at the 2008 NYCC; in fact, he helped set up Doug's blog then. We always look forward to seeing Stephen and his wife Heidi when we're in San Diego at SDCC.
