Unless you’ve been living under a rock (or a Faraday cage), you know that a lot of SDCC news dropped today (exclusives!) Well, we found a few more, some artists who are opening commissions, makeup, and yes, crochet.
Here’s a look at what you might have missed:
- The IMDb Yacht returns to San Diego Comic-Con, with host Kevin Smith as host and captain for the second year. They’ll be taping interviews there all week – so even though it’s not open to the public, swing by – you never know who you might see around the marina.
- Cinema Makeup School, one of the most respected makeup schools in Hollywood, announced they would be back at SDCC this year with all kinds of special events at Booth #4523. They’ll have special guests as well as their three blockbuster makeups, showcasing the best of the best from their class:
- The Joker from Batman: Arkham Asylum video game by Gabi Gonzalez
- Omnigul from Destiny video game by Joey Pinto
- Preya by Madison Burger (Rick Baker Scholarship award-winning design)
- PSA Card Grading + Authentication is going full Pokémon for the upcoming Comic-Con International: San Diego, and giving away Pokémon cards, Pokémon editions of their monthly magazine (SMR), and one lucky winner will even win a custom Charizard painting and First Edition Charizard card, graded PSA 9. In order to enter the sweepstakes, show attendees can visit the PSA booth (Booth #5617) and be entered by a PSA Customer Service representative. Those unable to attend the show can enter online at www.PSAcard.com/comiccon.
