It’s been over two weeks since Anthrcon & a week since Brony Con. Sorry for the late update, had a little of the con flu hit me for 2 days. But I am back to par now drinking plenty of water and other liquids to bring up my immune system to full strength.



Brony Con 2016 was a big event for my mate (Riyo Bast) and me. This was going to be our first big event coming as a couple and working the artist ally. If you didn’t know I meet Riyo Bast at Ponycon 2016 in the line for Ashleigh Ball autograph. Then around April we became a mated pair and started to plan to work Brony Con 2016 together.



For the past few months we have been planning products to sell at the event. Riyo specialized in prints and custom OC Ponies, here a link to her Etsy account (https://www.etsy.com/shop/MoiraCatDesigns ). For me it was a combination of prints and commissioned OC badges. We did very well in out sales despite our location was in the back row of the artist ally. That most likely hurt some sales and was hoping to get our main 6 posters moving more; her rendition: http://www.redbubble.com/people/moi.....duality-series

Good plan of action that I took some prints to Anthrcon to sale. But a lot of the fans seem to like our Luna Spawn prints; her rendition:

Looking at the event from the sale prospective, it didn’t suck too bad!



We didn’t just come to this event to work; we wanted to do a little fun and socializing when we could. On Thrusday we meet up with some horse famous people for The Fiery Joker birthday party. Here’s a video from that event:

Plus I have out some gift badges to some of the people, here is a link of Dr Wolf showcasing those badges:

On Friday after sales we planed our whole evening around the Brony Burlesque show or Tavern Purlesque it was called in the schedule. Plenty of drinking and wild dirty talk from Jenn Blake acting as MC for the event, great performance from other dancers and Ingrid Nilson. It was most needed after a long day of work. Prior to the event Riyo Bast got this sexy Luna dress that would make your head turn.



Saturday was our only day we set aside the morning to go see Tara Strong. This has been something I have been planning since our communication on twitter back in February. To make sure things go smoothly we got up supper early to get in line first. As we stood in line patiently it was like a quite clam before the storm. Then she walked in and the place roared with excitement. Then Tara Strong approached the line and asked whos the one that designed her shirt (http://www.redbubble.com/people/sam.....f=recent-owner ) Riyo Bast immediately pointed her out to me and she gave me a great big hug! She also told me that the prints I gave her raised additionally $550.00 to the charity. She knew that she owed me at least one free signature for that work done. The staff allowed me to run back to get one of our prints to be signed by her. Which was donated towards the charity auction on Sunday went for $550.00 (https://twitter.com/BronyCon/status.....98835879940097)

Plus Riyo Bast had a print in the auction as well.

It was a memorable experience meeting Tarra Strong. I asked her a favor if she would provide feedback regarding my step moms voice acting demo reel once it was completed.

Here are some photos that were taken of me and Tara Strong.

I hope I can do some fun art of her in the future. Riyo Bast got some photo with her also and all together we had a nice fun moment that morning before we headed back to our Work station in artist ally. That night at the Grand Galloping Gala we had a chance to show off our stuff in our 1940 my little pony cosplay https://twitter.com/SamohtLion/stat.....96143949713409



On Sunday we decided not to sell and close shop. We made good bit of money and needed to get ready to go back to our homes and what ever our work week had in store for us. I am so looking forward to working with Riyo Bast again at another pony convention!
