Branded Baron: Comic Con in NYC 2011

Comic Con was back in New York and here are some pictures of who dressed up and what was there. I had a good time with Tiff. I rocked my "The Force Graff" tee one of the days. Yes, I had a 3 day weekend pass. What can I say Comic Con is fun, especially if you like video games, comics, movies, and art. One thing I found odd was that there were a couple clothing brands there this year. It was held in the Cult Courtyard and I saw brands such as Mishka and Kid Robot. I ran into Paulie Hussle from Real Deal Radio and he thought there was a Branded Baron booth, but no. Maybe next year, but I really like going to that as a fan and do not want to be focused on business when this is something I go to have fun and relax my mind. Who knows?

Shout out to David from Seibei, Bryan aka Doctor Hazmat, and the big dog Johnny Cupcakes himself. I definitely had a good chat with each of these individuals and they're cool people w/ cool brands. They get the stunningly fresh co-sign.

There were celebrities that were there like always and some were roaming around. Tiff and I were chillin in the same booth that Seth Green was in and he bought a lot of stuff from Comic Con. He was definitely seemed like he did not want attention. He did treat people who came up to them with respect, so he's not a celebrity douchebag which is great. He did have a good looking girl with him and he wasn't as short as I thought he was, but still not a tall guy. I really wanted to give him one of my Branded Baron tees, specifically the Force Graff tee, but I figured if I ran him into again and we conversed and he was interested I'd do so. There are certain boundaries that need to be respected, especially when they're chillin. 30 Rock's Judah Friedlander was roaming around snapping photos with fans. He didn't shock me, maybe because I've seen him perform his stand up comedy routine in New York before. It's funny the first time I saw him perform the only thing I can think of was him talking about masturbation jokes. There were other celebrities that I missed, but whatever. I'm trying to figure out why Chad Michael Murray was there. I only know him from One Tree Hill and that terrible horror movie he did with Paris Hilton. Whatever, he seemed to enjoy taking photos with all the women that came up to him.

I had to get some art from some artists that were there, because I enjoy good art. One thing that I will share is if I do get a comic book, I love good drawn art. I hate bad art in comics and I do not care how good a story is if the artwork sucks it is a waste of money to me. That's how I feel about that. Anyway, here are some photos that I took.

Stay no less than Stunningly Fresh,

I first met Buddy Scalera back in college when he lectured my web design class and I found out he was a photographer that helped comic book artists with great reference photos. I saw him at Comic Con picked up his latest book and he signed it and hooked me up with a Comic he wrote. He's a good guy and very passionate about comics and if you're interested in drawing comics or just starting on an awesome composition pick up his book People and Poses book which is available at Barnes & Noble. I bought the Colossal Collection of Action Poses.

I saw Erik Jones last year and bought his Medusa print. I picked up another great print this year, which is entitled "Blossom". I really like the stuff he makes. You can view his work here: http://theirison.com/
