Thanks all!
Johnny Z, glad the drawing arrived safely!
Oeming,
So am I not going to see you in Chicago after all?
I have my artist alley tables and hotel stuff squared away.
I was going to bring a gift to you. But if you are not going I'll mail it.
I'll go ahead and tell you what it is
There is a company called crystaletching.com that is producing a limited run of glass sets and shot glass sets with Kabuki images etched into the glass.
And the etcher, Rob, was nice enough to do a set of MOB glasses for me that I want to give to you and Brian.
There are three glasses with the MOB logo etched real big on one side. And each one has one of our names on the other side. Mike, Brian, David.
So I meant to give the ones with your names on them to you as a gift. So we can each be at home drinking from our own MOB glass and at one with the universe
Bendis forgot his in SD, so I was going to bring'em for both of you in Chicago. But if you aren't there, I'll just mail'em or something.
Yo, M.O.B. forever.
Respect.
Peace out

Mack may be one of the most thoughtful and most loyal to friends person I have ever had the pleasure of witnessing. If you look over this thread again David, you make it easy to believe in the goodness of others. _________________ www.hero-camp.com |

They are gorgeous! $20 is what I remember the prices being, figured I'd ask someone who had the opportunity to buy one. I think I'll buy one for my neice(s) this year. _________________ dEnny

Thanks for posting the site, Michael. And the photos!
Secretasiangirl,
There is a photo of Anh with the Tranimals on the site and a variation of this in the Magazine. So you may be able to see scale from the photo of her with them. By gr Bot, are you talking about GIANT ROBOT? They sell her Tranimals at both of the GIANT ROBOT stores in LA and San Fran.
Everyone, thanks for the kind words.
Amy, glad you are loving them!
Denny,
Good to see you here. She should have a good selection of them at the show for you to check out. |

yeah, i meant giant robot. i guess i was just being secretive. i didn't see the tranimals at the on-line store & i've only been to the la store once. that's really, really cool that they're selling them. it's another really great community.
btw, did gr ever interview you before? i was trying to get some answers from them about it, but haven't really gotten anywhere... i told them that they should interview you if they haven't yet... unfortunately, i don't have much pull there.
hey, maybe they can interview anh?!
p.s. the bot tranimals should sell like hotcakes at gr! definitely get a picture of one of them & post it on the gr message board... they'll eat it up! _________________ "the picture you see is no portrait of me it's too real to be shown to someone i don't know" |

I love Giant Robot too. I started picking it up with issue #4 in 95.
They did do a nice review of KABUKI: Circle of Blood when it first came out as a paperback collection. They showed the cover art and said some kind things about it. But that was a while ago. Maybe 96. or 97.
They may have mentioned Kabuki from time to time. But I have never done a full out interview or article with them.
I'd love to do an interview with Giant Robot. I'll be happy to supply you with any art you need for it. We'll make it huge and celebrate it as the 10yr Kabuki anniverary and the new Kabuki series from Marve ICON.
Tell GR that I'm all for it.
Anh would love to do a GR inteview too. She's got lots of cool looking bots and ninjas, kats, and bunnies. The 3D Tranimals, but she does lots of drawings and paintings, and comics of them too.
And they can use the interview to promote the Tranimals they sell in thier stores.
If they are out of thier last order, and need more, just ask them to e-mail Anh. I think she corresponds with Eric now. But we use to hear from Bill Poon a lot when he was there.
Best,
David |

Why thank you my friend! If you scroll down past the features, I've got a few paragrahs that I update usually every few days. I posted her link and the image from her site (I didn't do a direct link to the image, don't worry), which I'll leave up for a few months.
for everyone that may have missed it...here is the link where you can
Catch Up with Kabuki. It is light on spoilers and is quite informative if I do say so myself. (Ok so I wrote it!)
AND
My Interview with David can be found at that link. I did my best to NOT ask stuff that I thought a ton of others may have already inquired about. it is interesting to "look back" and see that some things we talked about didn't transpire, or changed in a way or two...and the interview really wasn't that long ago. _________________ SimplyJD Online - Convention coverage, comic news, interviews, rumors,

Yeah, check out the JD Kabuki stuff on his site
Thanks, JD
Goodman,
The Bots were what she started making. From there she started making the other Tranimals. But she may not have ever had the Bots at shows before.
I'll let her give you the scoop at Chicago.
And she has Tranimals shirts there, and some of her drawn and painted stuff.
And....
I'll be there too, with all the Kabuki anyone can handle. |

That could be alot for some of us.
I also linked to her site on Beyond Kabuki's latest update. I will add a permanent link in the links sections post-WW Chi.
