CB Cebulski signs my copy of Comic Book Tattoo featuring a story written by him. He was quick to point out the typo in his name to liaison and me. He also adds an autograph to my autograph book with a quote from Yoda.
Ray Toh was at his booth in Artist Alley. He was also at the Liquid City Vol.1 launch back in 2008 or so but somehow my copy had missed him as it was being passed around. So here's Ray adding another autograph to my copy of Liquid City. He also kindly obliged with a quick sketch of a pirate in my autograph book.
Was first in line to get Harvey Tolibao to autograph and sketch in his sketchbook which I had picked up the day before.
Here's the original art to the STGCC-exclusive cover of Captain America #1 by Harvey Tolibao, which was being auctioned.
Benjamin Ang is the first Singaporean artist to be signed by Marvel. He was talent spotted by CB Cebulski at STGCC 2010.
Tita Larasati is an Indonesian comic artist. I first encountered her work in 24 Hour Comic Book Day 2006. Wished I knew and had brought that book along for her autograph. Here, she shows off the original art for that story - 24 pages in 24 hours. What an achievement!
Hairyashell is a sculptor in Artist Alley. Check out the lovely collaboration with Ong Ean Keat aka Keatopia.

Long line of cosplayers were hoping to meet Kipi
With my autographs and sketches done, Day 2 was really spent checking out the wares on offer at the various booths, something I didn't really have a chance to do at STGCC 2010 because I was waiting in line all the time over three days.

The best-looking booth has to be the Hot Toys booth... chock full of dioramas and their highly detailed range of pop culture figures. See if you can identify them all.
