What a fun weekend! Thank you FanX Salt Lake City Comic Con and all the superfans and supporters who visited me at the show! It warms my heart to see so many smiling faces and spread art-joy to you all!
No comic con can be complete without a little nerding-out at cosplay. Check out this amazing Sharknado that whipped through to say Hi! My neighbor at the next booth kept an eye out, ha ha.
Thank you to everyone who came to my Pop Manga Mermaids coloring panel, and to the convention organizers who made everything happen! I had a blast getting to return to Salt Lake City and see the sights, sign everything and meet everyone! My next guest artist appearance is at Edmonton Expo Sept 21-23. See you soon, Edmonton!

San Diego Comic Con was filled with fun, fans, friends and fabulous art! Thank you to everyone who came by the booth to visit, get books and prints (and toys!) signed, and find beautiful new prints and items to collect.
Camilla was in her booth for the most of the show signing, sketching and connecting with fans. Her Ian Somerhalder cardboard cutout, promoting The Beekeeper charity print fundraising project for Ian Somerhalder Foundation, was a big hit. Ian signed the cutout in endorsement at Warner Brother’s Vampire Diaries Signing on the SDCC show floor!
