This blog was originally started by Reis and posted on Myspace way back in 2006, but he decided to move it to the larger, more accessible Blogger network in 2008, to better reach the large Conan fan base.
These blog posts represent our personal fandom and are a collection of whatever we can find on our favorite son of Cimmeria. If we find it on the web, we try to post it here. Some of the content, such as fan art, custom action figures and the like are not always used by permission, but we have only posted them out of great respect for fellow fans to enjoy. However, if you see something on here of yours and you'd prefer we took it down or notice that we haven't given proper credit, feel free to let us know and we'll fix it as soon as we can.
We sincerely hope you enjoy the blog and we encourage you all to please make comments and share your thoughts!
I am at a complete loss for words...Ernie Chan passed away....He was a fantastic artist and a wonderful guy...I met him at several conventions over the years. He was a sweetheart and had the most charming and captivating smile,Rest in peace Ernie. ( Ernie Chan July 27, 1940-May 16, 2012)
it was just 3 months ago I was chatting with Mr. Chan on F/B. I e-mailed this drawing he made for me at a con in 92...and he replied...then we got to talking for a few. He told me he was surprised I still had the drawing and I did not sell it. I told him it's one of the treasures in my collection. Something I'd never sell....he said " That's what I thought lol "
I looked forward to meeting him again one day. He was a champ and one of my heroes...I'm really depressed right now. Rest in peace Ernie , your family and friends have my condolenses.
It was my pleasure to visit Ernie at his home and to eat lunches together at our favorite neighborhood Chinese restaurants. We had lived in the same neighborhood for almost 30 years but only connected over the past year.
Our time together was too short; but it was a great joy for me to get to know him, his family, and his fruit trees - that he was proud of.
