A year without conventions
It’s been the epitome of a monkey’s paw year for every tired artist who wanted to do fewer conventions, amirite?

2015 Convention Summary
I said at the end of 2014 that I wasn’t going to be writing any more in-depth convention reports because they just take too much time, but I had fully intended to continue writing short summaries or something about events and shows. But I ended up doing 22 events in 2015 and apparently didn’t have the time or energy for even that.

Con Report: Jet City Comic Show 2014
The con season for me ended this year with Jet City Comic Show, November 8th in Tacoma, WA, and while the show has always been a slow one for me, it was still a quieter end to the season than I’d have liked. Oh well!

Con Report: Rose City Comic Con 2014
Rose City Comic Con is a two-day comic convention in Portland, and this year it ran September 20th and 21st. RCCC is partnered with and shares a lot of staff and resources with Emerald City Comic Con, so I figured they’re similarly run and attract a similar crowd.

Con Report: Kumoricon 2014
Kumoricon, held annually over Labour Day Weekend, is an anime convention in Vancouver, Washington. Kumoricon has a small, juried Artist Alley, and they’ve declined to accept me every year I’ve applied… until this year.

Con Report: DragonFlight 2014
So DragonFlight is a small tabletop gaming convention, run by Seattle Metro Gamers, and held annually in Bellevue, WA. This year it was August 8-10, the weekend after KuroNekoCon. I knew it was a risky venture, but it’s more or less local, and I convinced Xib to give it a shot with me, so at least I’d have company.
