Tomoko Saito works on Studio Proteus series, and was honored as the person responsible for encouraging the Japanese guests who attended Katsucon. |
Lea Hernandez, creator of the Cathedral Child and Clockwork Angels graphic novels, was overwhelmed by the way she was treated by Katsucon. "This con staff is so nice it's like not being at a con," she said. |
Those who remembered when Steve Bennett of Studio Ironcat stripped to the waist at Anime Weekend Atlanta had to smile inside when he said "It looks like it's (Katsucon) going to be the party naked con." |
Superfan Steve Pearl gave no indications he would take his clothes off. He just thanked the Katsucon organizers for inviting him. |
Artist Fred Perry tried to give his best impression of the announcers on the infamous Iron Chef show when he invited all challengers to take him on in the scheduled speed drawing contest on Saturday. |
Will Allison, who made his Pervert Club series famous as a look into the real life of American teenagers (and promptly moved onto other titles) said he was amazed that an anime convention would make him a real guest of honor. |
Newton Ewell, artist who grew up in the anime style, said he was just glad to be on hand - and delighted that so many people had come to enjoy Japanese popular art. "My little kids have grown up now," he joked about the fans. |
Jeff Thompson of The Right Stuf was typically understated on stage. |
