FWA 2015 - best and worst in almost equal measure.
10 years ago
So
littlegraytiger and I went to the con and for the most part great fun was had. Lots of chilling out in the room, drawing, watching movies, occasionally browsing around the artists and Jaime had some great luck finding some new homes for some of her work. It was awesome geeking out, having some good food, watching some awesome and terrible movies, swimming and most importantly relaxing and defusing from a busy as shit month of non stop work and stress.
On the down side, my car was among those that were targeted and broken into. Thankfully mine was slim jimmed so no broken windows but my custom made knife for Jaime and my custom longboard that was on its way to a new home were among the many things that pulled a disappearing act. After 4 years of FWA sadly I no longer think it will be counting. My best times at this convention were had chilling with a friend and the disappointment of losing things that have more sentimental than physical value to some scumbag who has no idea what I would do to get them back... This will probably be my last con.
I have some work that I made for some awesome peeps and two pieces that I sold but was not in the artist alley as long as expected to give them to their owners.
