No pre-commissions, but I’ll be taking commissions at the show on a first come, first served basis, and I’ll have prints, totes, and thoughts on Star Trek for anyone who comes by! :)

Glyn Dillon was painting beautiful watercolours as autographs for lucky fans.
Samuel Hiti also did awesome ink drawings for people, including me!
The B9 Kingdom contained some serious talent in their showcase.
TCAF! I must get a table next year!
