Of all the industry guests that I met while at AX 2008, it was Mr. Ando that was, by far, the best. His knowledge of the industry and his professionalism exceeded all expectations I had. Didn't have anything for him to sign? Not a problem - here's a free movie poster!

This sketch was obtainned during Mr. Ando's second signature session. As there weren't many people lining up for him, Mr. Ando didn't mind drawing whomever you wanted. Most people were requesting to have characters from Full Metal Alchemist drawn, and I was no exception.

According to the translator, Mr. Ando stated that he has a hard time drawing Alphonse, so he always draws him like this with this odd little expression.
