I attended  the ORLANDO MEGACON 2012 this past weekend (Feb 18-19) and was quite surprised at to how fast this comic book convention has grown. This year they had Mr. Stan Lee as a special guest, and he held a panel on  Saturday about his projects and his creations.   There are are still a few things they need to do to improve in MEGACON though (like have more comic book related panels for ALL convention days), but for the most part was an incredible experience.  Here are some of the pics from the convention:

First is the waiting in line… taking what look like forever…I’m getting anxious.

Of course, Joker and Harley also made an appearance too from the classic to the original and innovative:

And had the chance to meet one of my favorite artists…MR. MARK TEXEIRA.  He even drew me a Joker sketch in the book I bought. He is such a gentleman… Thanks a lot, sir.  That’s why you’re one of the greatest.

Well, today Orlando Megacon started and I had the honor of meeting in the flesh one of the greatest Slash artists (in my humble opinion, and I’m kinda new to the genre) out there.  YAYOI NEKO..

I couldn’t believe my eyes when I saw some of her prints…that I had already downloaded from the internet.  I really love her art. She is a sweetheart though a little camera shy (asked me not to take he picture, which I respected) and a talented artist.

I spilled my cash at  her booth, buying some of her prints that she kindly signed for me and even got a copy of her sketchbook. She was kind enough to also include some free postcards of her art which I will treasure always.  I just want to thank her for being so nice and show that you could be great at something and not have to be a bitch about it.  There is always space for kindness.

Thanks Yayoi, from a faithful fan.  

Sorry for the nasty black lines but I want to respect her note that say do not scan without consent and still show a little piece of her wonderful art. 

You could see more art at her deviantart site at :  http://thundertori.deviantart.com or her website:  www.yayoineko.com

I’ll post more of the convention tomorrow…after I attend a few forums there.
