I’ve barely had time to unpack from Fan Expo in Toronto and I’m already packing for Dragon Con in Atlanta! I’ll post pics from Fan Expo really soon, probably just do a combined convention post-mortem next week.
.
So for anyone and everyone going to Dragon Con, this is where you’ll find me:
Table BT12
Comics and Pop Artists Alley in Grand Hall East of the Atlanta Hyatt Regency Hotel
.
(omg that’s right next to Hope Gallery Tattoo! Baroness, we are gonna have fuuuuun!)
One thing about Fan Expo got me even more excited about Dragon Con – the Helmetgirls Cosplay Competition! My original Helmetgirls from Toronto were there to show me their new cool helmets. There will be more of you at Dragon Con, so come by my table to show me your Helmetgirls outfits! Here’s one sweet gal who came to SDCC:
.
And of course I can’t let my debut at Dragon Con happen without bringing new merchandise! So get ready because I’ll be locked and loaded down with new stuff, like button packs, stickers, tattoos, clothing, and new prints! And of course, I’ll have copies of Tanpopo #3 and a few of the GIANT BUDDHA Kuros for anyone who wants a whole lotta lovin’ to take home with them
Hope you are all having an amazing summer. Camilla’s Crew has been extra busy this summer with a crazy CON season. We’ve just done Anime Expo LA, San Diego Comic Con and Anime Evolution in Vancouver. Lots of people were wearing clothing by Camilla!

“Devils and Foxes” and other tales from the collection, “Strange Stories From a Chinese Studio” inspire Tanpopo Volume 3. In this 50 page volume, Kuro’s efforts for Tanpopo to experience sadness intensify, and too does his wickedness. An old woman, wary of the devil-boy, takes Tanpopo in, showing her kindness and affection. Get yours today to find out what happens…the third in the 10-part series about Tanpopo and Kuro, will surely touch your emotions.
Anime Evolution begins tomorrow! I’m on my way to UBC to set up! I’ll have a table in Artist Alley AND in the dealer’s room so come by to get a hold of me, new prints, new merchandise (including shoes), new books, TANPOPO 3!!, STITCH, and Buddha plushes!

Here are my panel times. So for those who’ve ever wanted to see me live paint…now’s your chance!

Hi everyone, I’m still battling the most outrageous Comic-Con cold in history. Can you believe it? This year’s con really did me in . I wanted to thank everyone who came out to see me in my spiffy new booth 4920 in the Fantasy Illustrator section of the convention. Having a 10×10 booth totally rocked!
..
I had lots of press visits too and need to thank Hi Fructose, Vinyl Pulse, Spanky Stokes, LA Weekly, Wired, and even Toysrevil for posting about Comic-Con. My signings at Dark Horse, Last Gasp and Image Comics were all tons of fun with lots of fans who came by to say hello – thank you! And the Buddha launch was a huge success!

Another couple of really fun things to come out during Comic-Con, but unrelated are the Notcot & Notcouture (thanks Jean!) :
And for anyone who didn’t get their very own Buddha Kuro, he’s now available from the online store and ships from the US. So he’s more affordable than ever! I’ll get over my nasty cold and be back with more cool news for you very soon. Ciao Ciao! Camilla

Hi again! I told you – this month is going to be insane – and it’s only the 15th!! Today I’m going to make you drool with the new merchandise you will LOVE >_^. Check out the amazing PILLOWS and CANVASES available at Click-for-Art.
Click-for-Art is a UK based company but don’t fret, they ship all over the world. Every single item is limited edition of 250 to make the items even more exclusive. The best part about them is the quality. So check out the Click-for-Art site. You may get lost for hours amongst all the beautiful canvases, pillows, mini-bags, cups and saucers … have fun!
The pillows you see there are Innocent Eve (with matching square, cropped canvas), No Ordinary Love (with matching portrait canvas) and Yuuta (with matching landscape canvas).
Hi guys, I told ya there was a TON of stuff going on!! So let’s take a short break from Comic Con news and talk about a really amazing company – Artsprojekt.
.
Artsprojekt is this community of amazing artists, designers and hip brands in one place, who all have their own amazing merchandise. And when I hear the word, merchandise, my ears perk right up! ^_^
.
We’ve had a lot of fun setting up the site, and this new and different merchandise store. It is run 100% by a third party company, so this is not my in-house online store. You’ll find new and different items like prints, canvases, skateboards, shoes, stickers, binders …
I’ll be adding new merchandise to the store on a regular basis to keep things fresh and fun, and moving some of the prints to Artsprojekt as an archive. These prints can be made as posters, prints or even canvases! Send me your requests for images you’d like up there!
..
Check out The Projekt for the official launch with interview. Let me know what you think!
Hey guys I just HAD to share this with you. It’s a quick post because we’re crazy busy getting ready for San Diego Comic Con. But the awesome guys at Toybreak just posted their Episode 126.
.
.
Check it out HERE. You can also get it for free on iTunes by typing Toybreak, Episode 126. I’ll be back with more for SDCC soon … and new really exciting releases and launches. What a month! ciao ciao!
Hi everyone!! San Diego Comic Con is right around the corner and we’ve got so much great stuff to share with you, so get ready for a bit of overload . First of all, let’s talk Giant Buddha Kuro. We are excited to share this guy with you, even though he’s ultra limited edition. This “plushzilla” is seriously H-U-G-E. He stands a full 2 feet tall, 60″, he’s about 1 foot wide and 1 foot deep.
San Diego Comic Con Exclusive
There are only 100 Buddha plushes available and they are to be picked-up at the convention, from booth #4920. The price per plush is $125 USD. We are now taking PRE-ORDERS so please write to cderricostore@gmail.com to reserve yours! If you get yours on PREVIEW NIGHT, Camilla will even be on hand to make an extra special signature/sketch on his giant hang tag!
.
“What if I’m not going to San Diego Comic Con?!?!” You’re right, not everyone goes to SDCC, so for those who want Buddha but can’t pick him up you can get on the pre-order list. We’ve looked into shipping already, and it won’t cost an extra arm or leg! Shipping within North America is $40. Once you email cderricostore@gmail.com, we’ll take care of your order and guide you through the payment process.
.
And that is Tanpopo #3! We will officially pre-release some books at SDCC and I am soooooooo excited about it. I wanted to share this extra special book with you all BEFORE San Diego Comic Con, but without giving too much away so …. I am giving away a free download “teaser” here. What it is, is this new system where you share the download with your friends and networks. It’s pretty cool and called “pay with a tweet”.
.
What other little surprises can I tell you about?! I’ll be having a giveaway – a chance to win some paint supplies from Holbein. These are the paints I use every day, the DUO water-soluble oils that I literally swear by! ** image does not represent the prize.
.
So let’s talk PREVIEW NIGHT. Preview night is all about limited edition prints – silkscreened prints and giclee prints. Some are one of a kind, and I’ll leave the surprise at that! Also on preview night, and as promised, I’ll have more Stitch vinyls.
Every day of the con I’ll have a t-shirt sale too – 20 for $20. Each day one tshirt design will go on sale. There will be 20 available, each one for $20. First come, first serve! And this is a COMIC con, of course so … on top of the Tanpopo trilogy, I’ll have copies of the Fractured Fables books (yup the big anthology), as well as BURN graphic novels, and Sky Pirates of Neo Terra signed sets.
.
There’s actually more to tell you about, but I’ve written a monster so I’ll stop here, and if I can, I’ll write again before the convention (either me or Nancy will give a final update about what else is up our sleeves and in our Santa bags!!).
. I wanted to thank everyone who came out to see me in my spiffy new booth 4920 in the Fantasy Illustrator section of the convention. Having a 10×10 booth totally rocked!
