> Martin Hsu at NYCC:
Comic Con and more!
Had an absolutely amazing time at New York Comic Con!
What a blast!
My artist signing at the Clutter booth was lots of fun and very busy
Hard to believe I signed and doodled for all 3 hours...
Huge thanks to those who came out and waited in line!
Sold out of the Dragon Boy vinyl figures I brought with me
Excited I got to doodle on some of these blank figures
And sold out of the few copies of my art book - KINFOLK
Had a really good time sketching ladies and peonies
Designer Toy Awards was held on Saturday night during New York Comic Con and was so much fun!
The best part was meeting my friends/fans on the East Coast for the first time!
As some of you may know, Dragon Boy was a Finalist for BEST VINYL for the Designer Toy Awards this year...
We didn't end up taking the trophy home...
But as they announced Dragon Boy, we sure got LOTS of cheers!!!
Oh, and what else was SUPER cool about the night?
My mom's best friend came out to support us!!! How cute is that!?
Hi Auntie Anna!
So THANKS to the Dragon Boy family for all of your cheers and support!
It's an incredible feeling having my first vinyl figure making an impression in our ever growing community...
It truly means the world to me...
Here's to standing proud, flying high, and smiling big!
