Cartoon Network Exhibition PICS

Comic-Con San Diego is always a hectic program for booth 4833 featuring yours truly. This year featured the introduction of over 75 artists gathered from around the world to celebrate Cartoon Network’s 20th Birthday exhibit July 11—14.

The Cartoon Network exhibition was enjoyed by over 1000 fans of classic cartoons including: Power Puff Girls, Dexter’s Laboratory, Samurai Jack and of course, the hot, soon to be classic, Adventure Time. 4,000 Limited edition booklets were given out at the Cartoon Network Comic-Con booth and the birthday exhibition. Pretty rocking deal and they are gone, gone!

More highlights shared soon and more press available here. Thank you for making Cartoon Network’s exhibition a fantastic success. Kind thanks to Cartoon Network (design team, artists, talent and execs), Dos Equis (wet thy whistle while staying interesting), Shae Stromme (serving up the goodness all night long, and for never missing these openings, you are the best), El Zarape (a neighborhood taco shop that goes beyond goodness every time), Florabella (sweet smelling flower arrangements).
