Comic-Con 2008 started today. Every year I wanted to go but can't. All I get is the program booklet in the mail =(

This year is a more exciting year. Tite Kubo - creator of Bleach - will be at the convention this Sat. I have read a lot of manga over the years; you rarely get to see the creators and artists (Japanese manga artists of course) in public or even overseas. Interviews from them are quite rare as well. This is a great opportunity for Bleach fans to go see him (if they can go to the Con of course). The panel should be packed on Saturday. I wonder whether Kubo sensei speaks English. Bleach's character Chad is from Mexico; I guess he knows a bit about North American culture.

This year is Tite Kubo; I hope VIZ Media and Shueisha will ask other Shonen Jump creators like Masashi Kishimoto and Eiichiro Oda to appear at the Con.

Anyways, details on Saturday's spotlight event:

I have created three new Bleach shops, you can visit them via the links on the right (under the Naruto Shops section):

Color Kon:


Black + White Kon:


Ichigo's T-shirts (the T-shirt that Ichigo often wear in the manga):


I couldn't do the hollow T-shirt that he wears in the anime as someone else already did it...I will try to create that T-shirt with a different design. The T-shirt that was created does not look anything like the one in the anime, that is.
