Chromacon Recap

Monday, May 13th, 2013

it was a tiring day for us, i manage to get 3hr sleep while fighting jet lag, setting up booth from 8am, and our setup looks something like this(a standing PANDARA missing from the pic ><)

we signed 60 copies of chromacon books just before the doors open…

we didn’t expect such a great turn out, the crowd was absolutely amazing, met some new friends and some facebook friends/artists that i finally get to meet for the first time! thanks to everyone who drop by our booth & supported our artworks!

Amy will have “Panki” picture book + her latest illustrated childrens book(with Joy Cowley) at the con! we’ll even bring some extra interactive fun to our booth! stay tuned for full details & see you at the con! :)

p.s. this is a pre-blogged post, as i’m in Hong Kong right now, so any email/orders will be processed when i get back(just before chromacon)!
