JAPAN BLOG: Quick Painting Pix....
Here's the finished painting started by me(mostly the robot head, you can see me starting in the bottom pic) and finished by Whelan. Looks great! I LOVE how Michael put the girl in the glass container into it. What a story! The painting was bought by John Davis as well!! Nice when all your friends are involved.
We were pretty worn out at this point but here's me(left) and Whelan(right) after a long time with messy, paint covered hands and, alot of joy and fun on the canvases.
The convention made sure we were "well serviced" with drinks when we needed, as even with AC the exhibit hall was very humid. I LIKE their idea of "gal-in-maid outfit service" for artists.posted by Bob Eggleton (Zillabob) | 12:17 PM

You and Michael look so happy! The results are incredible considering the pressures to produce on the spot. Well done to all of you!!!!
I've just been painting the Daikaiju 3 book cover and wishing I was there...sigh.

We had a blast and a half. Whelan hadn't done it at a large con before, so it was a first to him and, we wound up sort of convincing Kato to do it. And he NEVER sells his paintings so the one he and I did went for $16,000 to a desperate man. We worked with those water soluable oils because Kato, to my shock, works in Acrylics only.
I REALLY loved our "maid service" for drinks.
Well then...I'm not the only one who never sells his work! Kato really is a Japanese version of me! He certainly creates painterly oil finishes with acrylic. Love his work to bits.

Hi Bob. Happy belated birthday! I'm looking forward to catching up on your Japan photos/posts soon - I've been busy celebrating my own bday. Looks like you guys had fun!
Hi Bob!
I am director of the Art Show.
Thank you for coming to Japan.
"gal-in-maid outfit service" is my idea.
It is glad to have liked it.

Ah! Ohashi-san! Thanks so much. I think this was a historic event for Japan, and done only as you do it!!! The "maid" made the day as it were. Thanks for all your time, effort and organizing. I was proud to be part of it!!
