Gen-Con Round-Up

Remember when I mentioned I’d take some time to show off the various artists and authors I ran into while at Gen-Con? Well, wait no further! That time is now!

Before I start listing folks, let me just say that they were all fantastic and very friendly and professional people. Everyone was extremely eager to show me their work and their passion for their craft and they’re all deserving of at least a look. I bought prints from a couple artists, but I mostly just talked with them and browsed their work. As mentioned before, I didn’t pick up many books on my trip there, and I do sorely regret it! However, one of my friends did get plenty, so I hope to borrow some of his copies or even just pick up some of my own so that I can give the various independent authors the very thing we all crave: an audience.

Because of the sheer number of different folks, I won’t be giving much of a blurb about every single one. I’ll also try not to go TOO crazy with a long image-heavy list. I’ll try to keep this simple and easy to browse, but also hopefully fun to look at.

So, without further ado:

Bought an epic print of some cats cosplaying as Final Fantasy mages from this fellow. It’s sadly not on his website and too big to scan, but it’s really awesome. Trust me!
