Another @designercon done and dusted for the books. I’m traveling for the holidays, so will announce my post-con drop later next week. . It was a blast to share a booth space with @mazza_art and be blown away by his prolific work ethic, in both 2 and 3 dimensions. He’s been a good friend for awhile and I’m always impressed by his ambition and growth in his skill over the years. Thanks Jim, for making the convention a blast, and filled with steak. . As always, thank you to everyone who spent their hard earned money on the artwork I create. My younger self could never have imagined this career in my wildest dreams. I’m forever grateful to everyone for their support. . An extremely special thank you to @visitor17 and @a_hernandez for their help in the booth this year. Their friendship and MASSIVE assistance has become invaluable to me as I grow and figure out this art career thing, and they make it easier and more full of joy. Thank you both so much for your incredible care and attention. They’re pretty hilarious to booth (shout out to the Cats Ass Crew). . DesignerCon is my favorite convention. I can sell my art almost anywhere in the world thanks to the internet, but I couldn’t imagine *not* doing this convention specifically for the friends I get to see, many only once a year. As always, I couldn’t remember to take enough photos, so I’ll share the few I took along with a list of some of my favorite friends I got to see this year as well as brand new ones. There are so many more I’m sure I’ve forgotten, I love you all! ❤️ . @mazza_art @visitor17 @a_hernandez @woes @urbanaztec @taskonerus @valency @miriroon @hustlehyped @jonpaulkaiser @jryuart @vampybitme @alexpardee @maxxer242 @jermainerogersart @bowenstuff @daryllpeirce @trekell_art_supplies @drilone @leecifer1 @brianewing @jasonedmistonart @yesterdays.co @rocom @camilladerrico @nicholasmoegly @deathandstrawberries @lukechueh @caitlin_hackett @designercon https://www.instagram.com/p/ClUN3puytBI/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
