Camilla d'Errico for Wondercon '09
Camilla D’Errico was really ballin’ with two tables in the Wondercon 2009 Artist’s Alley. Camilla is seriously one of the nicest artists out there. Her art may stop you in your travels down the alley, but you’ll want to stay to keep chatting with the enthusiastic artist herself. Camilla had a very diverse array of warez on show, but I’ll start with one thing she just seemed the most excited about: Her prototype plush, Kuro, who was brought to life from the pages of her manga, Tanpopo. Camilla had some of the plush protos on hand for pre-orders and to gauge interest. It really looks like he lept off the page: the likeness of the 2D and 3D Kuros is excellent. We gave it a thumbs up.
Camilla also had a new edition of Tanpopo, which was larger in measurement and page-count and contains a plot twist that diverges from the original story. There were several new prints and some clothes and accessories, too. Another item she was stoked about was her new Gelaskin, which didn’t make it to Wondercon, but may be available at next week’s Sweet Surrender show at Gallery1988. Camilla told us that the work she’s doing for that show is “the best ever.” She acknowledged that such a statement is rare to come from an artist, but in this case, she swears it’s true. She wants everyone to come down to the San Francisco opening on Friday, March 6th. She’ll be the extroverted artist with the extremely detailed paintings. Be there.
