It's really cool that the convention has gone on for 20 years, for about half of my lifetime I've been drawing badge art for Akon...it's kinda scary, but I've no plans to stop.
Folks seemed to be really enjoying the show, and lots of really talented artists were showing their stuff...and many of them can be found here on deviantART.
Personally the con was a bit of let down, my print sales were not as good as expected, and despite 20 frigging years of work for the convention and creating an iconic image for it, I've gotten no public recognition for it all, something that one would expect after all these years. In fact most people don't even know who I am at the convention (staff included), and walk right past my table, on their way to someone else's Naruto Yaoi(and other licensed intellectual property) art display.
It sucks being taken for granted...or at least being easy to forget about. It's kinda painful really, but what would Howard Rourke do? He would go on, doing what he loved. But it still hurts...
Sigh...
Onwards, & forwards...
I did score a couple of cool books from the dealer's room, an Appleseed movie book "Prometheus Montage" and a Shimada Humikane Artbook. I also got an old Xabungle mecha model kit. I could have blown lots of money in the dealer's room, but most of the items there can be bought cheaper online, even with shipping from Japan. But, I'm on the prowl for out of print books and kits.
I also picked up my contributor copies of "Hit The Beach 2008" from the good folks at RadioComics.
On page 20 of that issue is the V.1 version of the T'zara art piece that can be found in my DA gallery.
If you love anthros, go pick up an issue from them online at [link]
I'm hoping that there will be a 2009 issue of "Hit The Beach", and I'd love to contribute to it...especially a cover!!
Hint, hint...Elin, Will...
Well, it's back to work...gotta clean up the area around the art table, work on the CaliberedFurs prize to :1tyler: ,work on the RPG project, and even start work on...Akon21 artwork, and much, much more.
Maybe I can get around to building that kit too...
A quick reminder, I do take commissions!
It's time to walk Togo Wolf, so Have a nice day Y'all!!

You did not leave a job to find a job, but to find yourself, the queen you locked away, while you served lesser things and others' kings.

Yeah...a little more time would help.
How are you doing? I'm trying to finish art for a Stellar Horizons module, work on some commisions, and get some A-kon stuff done early...mostly ad stuff to fit the whole "Revenge of the Penguins" thang going on.
