San Diego Comic Con 2011- Wrap Up
The San Diego Convention Center from our hotel’s front door.
Our last day started slow and showed all the signs of a general mood of winding down… until after lunchtime. The crowds and sales suddenly came to life and we ended up with our best day to date. So it was a great way to wrap things up for our second year in San Diego. The only regret from the experience was a lack of time to spend out in the exhibit hall visiting other booths and vendors. I took a bit of time during the morning lull to document a few of our neighbor’s booths. Be sure and visit their sites for more fun and wonderfulness.
San Diego Comic Con 2011- Day 4
Peter Mayhew with his purchase of my “Hairy Trinity” print.
Another day of great sales with the added bonus of two great events. The first was the purchase of my signed print titled “The Hairy Trinity” by the wife of Mr. Peter Mayhew, a.k.a. Chewbacca. (Peter has recently undergone surgery and wasn’t able to walk the convention floor.) Shortly after the purchase I visited Peter’s signing booth to thank them both for the purchase and was invited to take a picture of Peter holding his print.
The second event was the purchase of one of my new Superlative/Nefarious books by a gentleman that showed an intense interest and asked several questions about the project. As we wrapped up the sale he presented his business card and identified himself as a project executive with Imagine Entertainment, the company founded by Ron Howard and Brian Grazer. So perhaps my book will eventually work its way through the studio’s intricate project review maze.

Chuck Chiles- “Slice of Pie” Sculpture
My good friend Chuck Chiles has been hard at work on a sculpture commission titled “Slice of Pie.” Created using highly polished stainless steel and walnut, it stands approx. 5 feet tall. The precise geometry and kinetic design makes for a fascinating visual treat. These photos were taken with it nearing completion. By this writing, it will have been crated and well on its way to a place of honor in the patron’s home at Lake Tahoe.

Update! Chuck has had his marvelous creation installed in the patron’s house in a place of honor. Here’s a studio shot of the finished piece and a shot of the finished piece in it’s final place of honor. The repetitive design in his sculpture works perfectly alongside the rich pattern of the staircase.
