Description
Photo taken byJhonen Vasquez in Melbourne, Australia, Saturday 28th March 2009. Not Art in anyway, just a bit of excitement I thought I'd show you guys. Not the most flattering image, but this guy is fucking awesome.
The artwork is "the creature" which can be found her [link]
There was a note on the back which read "To Jhonen, welcome to Australia! This is what us Aussies thought you'd look like before you got here.
-Sharon."
I couldn't help but insult him one way, shape, or form each time I met him. I felt like a fucking bitch! Still do, but he was awefully polite about it..

I know this sounds crazy, but I can't help but ask... How tall was he? He's always talking about how Nny is short and stuff, so I thought he probably isn't that tall. Hope I don't sound weird O_o

hahaha not weird, I think everyone wonders this about him 
Me and my friend couldn't wait to find out...
Dunno how tall he is EXACTLY, but...he's sorta a short ass up close. I'm..168cm tall, and I was taller than him by a tiny bit. I hope this helps haha.

Ooohhh. Sounds like fun. What did he say about your picture? Did he like it?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I THINK he liked it...He said I was talented behind my back, and told me not to draw to the edges coz it's hard to hold/frame
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Well if he was considering framing it then he must have liked it.

Haha, he was a great guy
Both my signed posters have been put up on my walls. Bit squishy, but they JUST fit, now that I moved a bunch of crap around lol. I got JTHM signed, as well as my spooky toy, an autograph book and my bag. I felt bad about getting him to sign much more...lol!

👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Haha yeah, me and my friend got there before 8 and were stuck there the whole day, so most of the afternoon and early morning we wandered round looking for something in the least bit interesting. Made the day VERY long, but Jhonen was worth it. We went both days, and to the preview night on Friday too.

Wooooo, awesome! I have the graphic novel, but if I had the money I would have gotten all individual issues aswell. I got mines signed, along with 5 other things
👍: 0 ⏩: 1

👍: 0 ⏩: 1
haha yes. Yes I did. It was good to talk to him personally too
👍: 0 ⏩: 1

Lucky You!!!

He's very shy, and me and my friend kept running into him when we were trying to give him a break. At one stage, we decided to go play ghostbusters on xbox, and he was standing there, staring at it, and when he looked around and saw his, he practically bolted haha. But when we cornered him, he was really nice.
I was the one that felt like the jerk...3rd time we went to talk to him I asked him how long it takes to judge a competition (deathmatch), and sounded like an ass lol.

wow.that sounds crazy. i can imagine him sprinting away...i would just say hi and try to make sure i didnt act like an annoying fangirl...heh heh.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
haha yeah. We weren't trying to follow him or anything. It felt like he was stalking US. His last words for the day were whipered to his assistant line guard people, who came up to us after and the chicks like "Jhonen told me to do something, but I don't know if I should" so eventually she punched my friend in the arm and said he said "punch that girl in the purple for me, shes been following me round all day" lol. Was really funny, but after all that effort to avoid him when we could so we werent being creepy lol.

wow. it was like he was following u huh?....wow.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Just felt like it. We'd be like "let's leave Jhonen alone and see what else is here..."
*turns corner*
"shit, its jhonen again! noooo! avoid eye contact, and get out of there with all limbs attached."

heh heh...that's kinda lucky....i'd be trying to not annoy him by acting like a crazy person....believe me, people at my school are scared of me for no reason.....
is he still over there at the convention???
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
hahaha I get the people at school scared of me, just oz I used to never talk! People are strange. I tried hard to act normal though 
He's not in Melbourne anymore, He's moved to Brisbane for the convention on the weekend. He's on holiday now, I'm guessing lol
