Hey! If you follow me on twitter, then you might’ve already gotten wind about this: I have officially joined the ToyCyte team and have agreed to do NYC coverage for them, because let’s face it, I’m always around anyway. Above is a screenshot of my very first post. Woot-woot! Click here to read about the Jeremyville signing I attended. Thanks for the support. Really.

Seen: Mist at KidRobot

I went to see Mist at Kid Robot today. Unfortunately, it was the first time that I actually didn’t stick around for a signing or bothered to meet the artist. Whenever I go to these signings, I tend to bring my sketchbook to steal the souls of the very talented artists that create the figures we all love and adore. I don’t think I’ve ever shown up to an event with the artist’s figure and asked for him/her to sign it. I love my vinyls too much to get them defaced with ink. That’s just me though.

When I arrived to Mist’s signing, the first thing I was told was “no sketchbooks.” One of the guys said he walked in, asked for a sketch and was told to buy the figure. Mist would not be sketching in books only on figures. This decision truly angered me. I know the plot is to both sell as many figures as possible and keep to the time constraints, but I’m a fan who doesn’t like to get her vinyls drawn on. Since I want a tag on a book instead of a vinyl, that means I’m not entitled to one? I didn’t think it was fair. I was angry, so I asked to just take some quick shots and bounced.

Sad times for me.

Tiger Dunny

Joe Ledbetter\'s 8\

Question. People know that I try my best to go to ALL the signings and shows in the city, correct? So I wonder, did anyone know about the Tiger Dunny signing that took place yesterday at the ‘Pirate Store?’ Umm, I ask because I didn’t. Not only did I not know, for whatever reason, but no one told me. No one dropped me a line and said, “hey saki, are you going to the signing?” I’m slightly hurt, though I wouldn’t have bought the dunny, this is one less chance of getting Joe Ledbetter’s sketch in my book.  How sad am I.
