Ohayocon 7 || January 5-7, 2007
Did you notice when you woke up the sun was a little bit brighter this morning? Your cereal taste just a little bit better? An extra spring in your step? That's all due to Bruce Lewis, a guest we at Ohayocon are doing cartwheels over. And trust us, we haven't done a cartwheel since like, fourth grade.

So now you're wondering what's so great about Bruce? Well, humor us while we get out of traction (those cartwheels hurt.)

Bruce Lewis is an American cartoonist, artist, and author. Among the first comics artists to bring manga influences to American comics, Lewis wrote and drew the Robotech: Invid War Aftermath (1993-1994) series for Marvel's Malibu/Eternity Comics line. Later, Lewis created the Robotech: Hohsq's Story (1995), and Robotech Aftermath: Megaroad (1996) series for Academy Comics; he also wrote and illustrated the four-issue Gall Force: Eternal Story (1994-1995) miniseries for CPM Manga, and colored, lettered, and produced many more CPM comics titles. From 1995 to 1997 Lewis wrote, drew, and edited Star Blazers: The Magazine of Space Battleship Yamato for Voyager Entertainment, Inc.'s Argo Press imprint and edited the Star Blazers Perfect Album sourcebook, also published by Argo Press. His most recent pure comics work was the comics novella "Dairooster 5!" and the short story manga "It Happened in the 7th Grade", both featured in 2002's Juku: A Comics Album. An advertising artist and art director for some fifteen years, Bruce Lewis specializes in strongly iconic and stylized images in his design approach, a specialty inspired by his lifelong love for poster art. He currently woks for a major newspaper publisher in Dallas, and is currently a partner in the media firm Cheap Disposable Entertainment, Inc. His latest book, Draw Manga: How To Draw Manga In Your Own Unique Style was released in 2005 by Chrysalis/Collins & Brown/Barnes & Noble Publishing.

Yeah... we're gonna need you to come in on Saturday and stop by artists' alley and say hello. And if you could buy some stuff on Sunday too... yeah... that'd be great.
