New Prints Debut at Wizard World Philadelphia
From David Mack:
	Ronin Hood writer artist Jeff Amano [of Beckett Comics] is making available prints of the Lady Fujiko paintings I did at the Philly con. Based on the character in his book Lady Fujiko (who is modeled after his daughter Mandy Fujiko Amano). I did some paintings of Mandy as the character. In promotion of his new book from IMAGE COMICS, Ronin Hood of the 47 Samurai. Find us at artist alley in Philly. My table will be right between Jeff Amano and Andy Lee. I'll be happy to sign the print for you. As I'm sure Jeff and Mandy will also. There are images of the Lady Fujiko paintings on DavidMackGuide.com
David Mack later noted:
	I painted a Sandman-Death for the CBLDF San Diego Auction. My first Death painting ever. The original will be auctioned off at the Sandman/Endless art auction to raise funds for the CBLDF in July. Mandy Amano modeled for it, and makes an incredibly perfect Death character. I'll have prints of it to show you at the Wizard World Philly show. Just ask me about it at my table in Artist alley. And please introduce yourself from the board.
