<\/a><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

As many of you know, we just returned from the event of the century,
\nwell maybe not THE event of the century but pretty close. SDCC was an
\namazing experience in many aspects, but the overwhelming concentration
\nof toys and the people behind them in one same place, was what blew me
\naway. There are so many stories to share and toys to show, I don\u2019t even
\nknow where to begin. However, I thought I start off with something
\nquite personal to me. <\/p>\n

On the busiest day of SDCC, as I was waiting for the crowd to thin
\nout around Kidrobot\u2019s booth so I can say hi to Paul, I noticed Touma
\nand Baseman exchanging conversation. I swiftly approached them and
\nnoticed they were drawing a sketch for each other. What an awesome
\nsight, 2 great artists in their own right from 2 parts of the world,
\nstanding a few feet from each other, exchanging creative ideas. Using
\ntheir medium of choice (Baseman: color pencils, Touma: A blue felt
\npen), they meticulously drew their characters. Within a few minutes,
\nthe blank white pieces of paper were filled with their signature
\ndrawings. They were also very gracious of my presence snapping away
\nwith my camera. Touma doesn\u2019t speak any English and Baseman with no
\nJapanese, were able to communicate through their art. That was quite an
\nenlightening moment for me. They say love is the common language, I say
\nart is. And pictures are worth a thousand words, so here they are.   <\/p>\n
