Popcon Asia 2013, 5-7 July 2013

FINALLY.
after crashing and burning last year, i finally visited Popcon Asia 2013!
went there twice, on the first and last day.

FIRST   DAY

went to Master Kim Jung Gi's Masterclass

 the guy is wearing an 'Amazing' t-shirt. how can you not like him? 

    
and then he drew a horse. starting from the ass up. repeatedly. and each in under 3 minutes.

 after humans, animals, and transportation, he decided to draw...a dragon.

 my friend got an autograph on kim jung gi's 2011 artbook. lucky bastard.

hahahahahahhaha found this at the nostalgia display at MBDC's booth

First haul: Carpe Diem comic by Rhoald Marcellius, W.H. Rauf & Sakti Yuwono from Stellar Labs + 2 bonus posters (i've been looking around for this comic and stupidly forgot that the creators were from Stellar Labs--yes i didn't do my research--, so i was lucky that Ata's seat was right next to theirs or i'd missed it completely); a cool detailed print by Putra Kristiawan and water colored cute bookmarks by Sandy Lee.

SECOND   DAY

 a seriously pretty Rouge cosplayer and met Budi!

 

                Mr. 2!!!  (stabs asshole who un-politely passed by)          

 

Gorgeous figures from Fox Box Studios.one day you shall be mine.yes. 

the artist for Fox Box Studios...and i forgot to ask his name.tolol.

terribly proud of my friends :D

Kim Jung Gi's drawing "to decorate his booth at the last minute". 
and i was told he only just went to the Wayang Museum the day before.wicked.

got a sketch of Poison Ivy from Ario Anindito!! i bought an x-men print from him and his psylocke is super hot. but again, stupidly didn't do my research (sue me) and only found out then that he's one of my favorite comic artist. John G. Reinhart was fun to interact with and he was nice enough to sign the small prints i got even though i didn't get his The Raid comic because at that time i ran out of dough.crap.

randomly found this guy's t-shirt.bahahahahahhaha

after that was Kim Jung Gi's Drawing Show. 

the guy drew on a 2m x 1,5m canvas with regular snowman whiteboard markers.

 

regular snowman whiteboard markers.

regular snowman whiteboard markers.

regular snowman whiteboard markers.

 last minute snap (and zap.seriously.i got electrified by the guy's skin when i wanted to ask for a picture)

 with Artgerm~ the guy was seriously tall.

Second haul: X-men print + sketch from Ario Anindito; 3 John G. Reinhart prints; Ata's print + sketch; ClogTwo stickers (wanted to get a print and sketchbook, but alas, my pockets were empty.again.) and Stellar Labs' personalized namecards (not yet completed though)

besides meeting artists i wanted to meet (Ata! there was Ata :D!!) and those who i've just discovered, visiting that event helped boost myself to become more productive so i won't get left behind anymore, so yeah, i enjoyed being there big time :j
