Day 3 cosplay!
Norin Radd at Comic-Con 2011
Yesterday I attended San Diego’s annual nerd mecca as as a regular guest–and not a vendor–for the first time since 1995. In many ways, it wasn’t as cool. Namely, I was forced to struggle with the famously difficult online sales just like everyone else. In fact, passes sold out after my 90-minute long wait despite entering [return] the moment they went on sale. I was lucky that another friend did get through that morning, and placed orders for my brother and me so that we wouldn’t miss our first Comic-Con since 1987 and second since 1979. (Thanks, Brian!) Greg and I gladly stood in line for 90 minutes to pick up extremely coveted one-day badges and proceeded to enjoy.
Cosplay Photos at Comic Con. Enjoy. This was a fun day and it’s not even the big Cosplay day. Photos by myself and Oscar Rios.
More photos below!
San Diego Comic Con Day 2 brought a few more photos. The Conan art show? I guess it’s called: COCO-MoCA Presents: The Fine Art of The Flaming C Fan-Art Exhibit. It’s fan art, but don’t believe it since if wasn’t fan art, there wouldn’t be tons of security guards. The coolest thing is the LEGO statue! More Coco art below in the photo set.
C.S. Lee, signed was on a panel and more for Dexter. He snuck up with a mask on. Yes, he’s popular at Comic Con. I’ve told people, that the folks wearing masks are often stars who are just checking stuff out. His t shirt is a cryptic message. Read it in Korean. Michael Choo.
See more Conan art, friends, artists like James Kochalka, Skinner, Aaron Horkey, Dave Stolte, Miso, Jeffrey Brown, Gene Luen Yang, Carlos Ramos and more below:
