Comic Con / Comikaze
I remember my very first Comic Con appearance like it was yesterday . It was the year 1999 and I beelined to the artist alley to see if Jim Lee was really was going to be here. I scored my first SDCC (San Diego Comic Con http://comic-con.org) ticket and I was dying to explore every inch of this show. My last appearance at SDCC would be in 2012 mostly due to the fact that I couldn’t dedicate so much time and energy to traveling to San Diego for the full five day to exhibit . It just wasn’t cost effective and it was exhausting. As fate or luck would have it the opportunity to exhibit would present itself in Comikaze. This was the perfect place for my mash up of my two favorites Hello Kitty and The Punisher to make their debut. It has been a fan fave when I make a Comic Con appearance. Comikaze http://comickaze.com takes place in Los Angeles and I’ve attended two years in a row. I’ve also done wizard world, http://wizardworld.com(Sacramento Chicago Philadelphia). New York Comic Con http://newyorkcomiccon.com Cosplaying, shopping, watching and listening to panels, seeing what new movies are coming out. The best part is meeting the artists. I love perusing the artist alley. I’m a huge fan of Humberto Ramos and Jim Lee. Comikaze was a fun show. More mellow, a lot of artists and I felt like the fans were just there to have a fun time. I met the coolest husband and wife team who also love Star Wars and we had so much fun light sabering hahaha! This Padawan has a long way to go! The last two years our city here has tried (bless them ) to do a Comic Con but it’s just not caught on:{ I would love to go to another Con soon! I’ve done a reboot on my punisher and I’m working on two new cosplays (hint AT) hahaha! Oh one final memory and it’s arguably my favorite one! I got to sign with and meet Sid Haig. My sweet friend Corpsey of Girls and Corpses magazine exhibits at most Cons and had Sid and I together at my first Comikaze and Monster Palooza! He was full of stories from all his years of working in Film and TV and had even met one of my idols Tera Satana. He was just so kind and sweet, very humble. He signed a beautiful photo of himself for Sophia and never once did he take a break from signing! Such a professional but so kind, just really rare! I have this urge to go on an Adventure Time Bender now!! XO Tera
