fighters busted out of full noodles and
01:39
tape and just staring at the the concept
01:41
art for like hours and hours this took
01:44
around almost a year my mom put a type
01:46
of foam on my back so that it can be
01:49
easy help my grandma cut out the glass
01:51
for the wings
01:52
so this basically entire family project
01:54
actually had a lot of help from my
01:55
family here yeah well that was that work
01:58
they went ahead and painted this on me
01:59
almost looks exactly like my mom made it
02:01
it is at the last second yeah last night
02:05
I made it myself
02:06
this one took me two weeks I think it
02:09
was
02:12
we are a Bay Area based independent
02:15
comic book company that focuses on
02:17
bridging the gap between Japanese manga
02:19
manga style comics and american-style
02:23
comics I just make these little guys
02:25
creatures from outer space I call them I
02:27
do original are based on film and
02:29
television pop culture I just launched
02:31
this new line of charcoal drawings for
02:34
the convention seen mostly strong women
02:36
a little bit of beefcake in there but we
02:37
do geared items that work and kits to
02:39
build them it's all about things to play
02:42
with and fiddle that we believe that
02:43
both are capable of presenting excellent
02:47
stories and all art forms should be
02:50
appreciated and enjoy I have a rule I
02:51
only work on what I totally geek out
02:53
over so and that shows through in the
02:55
work and so there's nothing I do that
02:57
I'm not passionate about so everything
02:59
is just it's passion project assistant
03:02
everything is a joy that I do system
03:07
that automatically measures the blood
03:08
sugar levels and pumps insulin I thought
03:10
if we can better predict which strains
03:12
will circulate during flu season we can
03:14
make a better flu shot that can protect
03:16
our people our device might be able to
03:18
save millions of lives as a device that
03:19
can help improve favorable outcomes
03:21
after surgery I'm trying to determine if
03:23
muscles absorb more pollution based on
03:25
the speed of a water body my project is
03:27
just creating a plastic from harmful
03:30
algal blooms
03:31
and it's pretty much a gradable and it's
03:33
really flexible and pretty strong my
03:35
project is an electric allogram
03:36
wheelchair it can tell the difference
03:38
between the right and movin and left eye
03:40
movement if you love glass it lights an
03:42
LED on the left and if you look right it
03:44
lights it all yeah what inspired me to
03:46
do it is so many people around the world
03:49
they're either disabled paralyzed
03:50
missing limbs are amputated as you might
03:52
have heard this season or even
03:53
experience yourself the flu season was
03:56
really really bad there were lots of
03:57
cases lots of hospitalizations and it
03:59
was very severe since we learned that
04:01
cooling it specific area during open
04:03
organ surgery can help increase vapora
04:05
outcomes we wanna develop a device as
04:07
portable and wearable so that the
04:09
surgeon can be easily to use it and it
04:11
can just help I really love the
04:13
environment in the ocean and I would
04:14
love to just like help out the ocean and
04:17
a lot of plastic waste all ages it was a
04:23
bit overwhelming cuz it's so big I've
04:25
been to like the one in LA comic-con in
04:28
Las Vegas and I've been to a few anime
04:30
cons in London but it's none of them
04:32
have been this big so this was
04:34
definitely overwhelming
04:39

Founded by Steve Wozniak in 2016, Silicon Valley Comic Con was an instant classic, the Sweet Spot where technology and pop culture do a high-five. This year's event was attended by 1000s of attendees April 6-8 at the San Jose Convention Center, where the happiest surprise of all were preteen and teenage scientists exhibiting their inventions ranging the gamut of genetic engineering to wearable glasses that actually move objects viewed through the lens. The future is a hero.
