Anthro Con 2014
11 years ago
Back from another Anthro Con in Pittsburgh. Wasn't too bad this year. I made 20 items for the Art Show this year and sold all but 6. I got some idea what to do in my next art show event. Also, I just missed allot of my old friends who normally go and my friends who were at the events. With that amount of furs in one location it bound to be hard to do.
I arrived to the event early to help Mushi Magic :iconmushi Magic: with her room situation. She stayed with me that night and she going to build a Lion tail for me for my help. She is a impressive fur suit builder and I recommend checking her stuff out.
Originally for Anthro Con I was going to room by myself at the Omni, but I found out 2 weeks prior from Amp Dragoness
AmpDragoness, that one of their room mates couldnt go and there was a room opening with them. Plus I was able to get out of the rest of my other nights from my other room. That saved me a good bit of changed plus it would of sucked to room by myself!
I stayed with Amp Dragoness :AmpDragoness: and her friend Houston
at the Omni. I had a wonderful time with them. They were great room mates to have at the event!
For the rest of the con there was so much going on, I was debating how to split up the event between the artist ally and the events at the con. In the past I have gotten allot of commissions at the event, but I end out burning myself out and missing out on allot of events.
First thing I took care of was getting my The Art of The Lion King book signed by Jim Cummings [Image]http://www.furaffinity.net/view/13923576/ [/image] it was cool meeting such a talented voice actor. I gave him two buttons of my stylized minimalist icons of Ed and Scar, since he voice both of them in The Lion King.
After that I headed over to the Disnymanina talk, which turn out to be kind of not what I expected. I was hoping to see some of the Furry Lion King fans there due to so many things going on we couldn't get a Official or Unofficial Lion King Meet up this year. It would of been fun to do with Jim Cummings there and with this summer being the 20th anniversary. Next year we should do something with at Anthro Con for Lion King fans.
After that I went to the art jam, it was nice to sit around a doodle for fun. When the day came to a close I hung out with Amp Dragoness AmpDragoness at the room and went down to the zoo to work on some art. It was kind of disappointing that many of my artist friends were not in the zoo that often this year. I guess with some much going on we were all spread out.
Saturday before the Artist Ally I head over to Jim Cummings Saturday morning talk which he was a no show. But they said they would try to work something out before the event was over. I spent most of the day in the Artist Ally. Ran into some friend I meet at the zoo last night and did some work with them. Got a nice collection of commissions done and some to work on at home. I found my old friend Dagger
thewhitedemon in the dealers area. I havent talked to her in over 10 years. Nice to see she made it up to the Anthro Con event.
After the Artist Ally wrapped up I went out with a local friend for dinner. Which was a bad idea. I should learn not to invite local non fur friends out to Anthro Con unless they are doing something at the event. I can not give them the attention the want and things just dont work out well.
I wrapped up the day down at artist ally to get some commissions done and meet some local furs near my home. Making arrangements with them to go to FA united, I have been there since 2010 and I have a creative motivation to work on more art for cons and art shows!!
Sunday they reschedule the Jim Cummings talk for the morning of that day due to the SNAFU of yesterday. As a special treat Jim and the other voice actor Lee did the talk together. The both did a great talk. Here's the rich part of that event, I was the first to ask and question, even before I could ask my question both Jim and Lee star to riff on me due to I was wearing my Lion King on Broadway shirt. I couldnt get my question out for a good mini plus I was RED in the face. I sure someone at the event recorded it and put it on You Tube.
I asked theme the question: "Would you consider do a Rifftrax?" I told them its MSK3 on newer movies. Lee wasnt sure but Jim did a sample if he did it for the Movie Gravity. He put out a challenge foe me: If I can get a 1000 followers on twitter to ask him to do it he would. I dont do much on twitter but there's the changed everyone! That talk with them made my day!
The of that Sunday I worked the Artist Ally, got the good news about how my art work sold for the Art Show. Tried to look for fellow fur friends to sit and draw with. The fact it was so hard to find anyone at the event this year is disappointing. I guess its my own fault not keeping communications with everyone online.
So I working on getting things ready for the next event and making arrangements for FA united. Start planing on a big TLK meet up. Next year is going to be buzzing with news of the Lion Guard and 20th Anniversary of TLK fan art site.
Hope everyone had a good Anthro Con and hit me up sometime. I like to here from you all!!
