CanFurence report and scanning
4 years ago
So, CanFurence went quite well, especially for my first con in 23 months (previous one being MFF in 2019). They hit the attendance cap of 500 people, but CanFurence has always been a relatively cozy and friendly con of about that size anyway, so it didn't feel all that much different aside from having limits on how many people could be in the dealer's room at once. (Limits which I know a number of the dealers liked anyway as it avoided people crowding around the tables so much.) As a social event it was fun, getting to see people I hadn't seen in a couple of years. There weren't a large number of panels, and about the only one I actually went to was the Greymuzzle panel. I probably should have actually brought my ConFurence 3 T-shirt from 1992 for the bragging rights.
I did get a few new sketches at the convention, as well as a couple of new little sketchbooks (in part because a lot of the people there had drawn in every single one of my sketchbooks already, since both they and I go to all the relatively local cons), but scanning them will have to wait until I did the scanner out from under nearly two years of disuse and make sure it still works. In the mean time, I do have a few digital commissions that I've received in the last couple of days as well which I'll be posting.

Sounds like you had fun, and it was good for you to be socializing out with people!


Yes, I did have fun. As I mentioned, CanFurence has always been a small, friendly, social and fun convention. And the fact that I've known most of the people involved for years helps. CanFurence doesn't get as many outside people showing upt he way Furnal Equinox does, so it tends to be a lot more local people, which gives it a different feel. Granted, 'Local' still includes everything between Hamilton and Montreal...
