Bolt City Summer 2005
While in New York, I've been staying at Amy's place. This is my temporary workspace set-up...
Amy and I were lucky enough to attend the US premiere of Howl's Moving Castle at the MoMA. Miyazaki himself was in attendance!
The day before MOCCA, I went to a book signing at Midtown Comics in Manhattan. The store was nice, and the guys working there were great, but it didn't seem like the customers knew we were there to sign books. Regardless, I had a good time chatting with the other artists. From left, that's Andy McDonald, Ivan Brandon, Jim Mahfood, and Mike Huddleston. Missing from the photo is Tom Beland, who was sitting to my left.
After the signing, Amy and I went to dinner with a bunch of the cartoonists gathering for MOCCA. We could see women showering in the building directly across from us. Unfortunately, I didn't get any pics of the boobies. Here's a bunch of us eating desserts at Veneiro's, a pastry shop.
Andy was muttering "too close...too close..." when I took this picture.
When I arrived in New York, I was wondering how I was going to lug 140 books to MOCCA. Thankfully, Kean drove his trusty Volkswagen and we were able to haul the boxes over to Manhattan with ease.
