SDCC and July Update

SDCC is upon us this week and as per usual I will be blogging the convention but I won't be cross posting. So, if you've already subscribed to Ashley's blog you will be receiving our main SDCC updates, if not you can subscribe to the main blog or just drop in to the Bambaland Blogspot to follow our progress this year.

And here is a quick July update. Recently we've seen a lot of movement on the entertainment front regarding some of our properties but up until now we've been unable to publicly talk about some of these goings on due to NDA's (non-disclosure agreements). Hopefully we will soon be able to make announcements about some of the amazing things we currently have on our plate, including artistic joint ventures directly related to our partners in the U.S and Japan. ThreeA as always has it's own blog so you can catch up on the ongoing coolness there too.

Every year Ash goes to SDCC and spends four days away from the family, which is hard on all of us but when Ash gets to meet all the fans and give something back it makes it all worthwhile, and we sincerely mean that. We know that if not for your support all of this would be one big vanity project, so thank you and be sure to treat my guy nice.

Interview in French - Link

I'm posting a link to an interview Ash gave recently in France. I'm posting it because I absolutely love the accompanying photo!

Perth Supanova Clarification

The Perth Supanova convention is advertising Ashley's panel as a last minute cancellation at this years event, which has caused some fans to ask why? The simple answer is that when approached last year to appear at the Supanova convention Ashley agreed to two signings at the 2013 show and did not agree to appear at a panel this year. I can only assume that because Ash has done panels in the past that he was placed on the schedule anyway, thus they had to announce a cancellation. 

At no point did anyone bug out on an agreed upon event, Ash made the decision not to bounce around for a couple of hours anywhere this year due to the fact that our scheduled shows are so close together. We've just done France, we're about to jet off to San Diego and in the middle of all that we have Wonderfest in Japan. Given that we're also working and producing as normal, the decision was made to keep to signings at all events for 2013.

Ash will be signing for a second time at 1PM WST and if you want to talk to him, you're welcome to come along and introduce yourself and say hello.

The Swank

Ashley recently illustrated for The Swank Autumn/Winter campaign. For those of you who are interested in the work produced, this series of artwork will be featured on buses and trams in China and Hong Kong and will be also reproduced in an extensive advertising campaign that will appear in such magazines as Elle, Cosmopolitan and Harper's Baazar.

The Swank stores will also be carrying the campaign in-store naturally, along with a seriously limited line of the female figures who appear in the campaign "Swank Girls" (and Guys!) and "Autumn apples". These figures will be carried from August through to December.

EDIT: For people who are now inquiring, Ashley's own 3A is producing the figures.

A change is coming to WO7174, this will the 0day site where all our ventures will start. From books to film and video games, we re gearing up to share the war!

7174 has been around for a long time now, but it's always been a campsite in the background, never on the front lines! Well that's changing...

The teaming up alone with IDW will bring on a slew of publications including, 7174 magazine, SWALLOWv2, WWR comic and much more, swing bt the IDW booth at SDCC and ask me all about it !
