And last but not least…

Seen driving by the Aria. I take it this is the standard vehicle for all artists in attendance.

So that wraps another fantastic Mahdia Autoptic Arts Festival.
This is a great show in that it is artist centric and really highlights the talent of the comic art community here in the Twin Cities.

Many thanks to all the hard working organizers who put on a great show. All I can say in closing is that I’m already looking forward to the next one!

Back room for artists to take a breather.

Not many conventions cater to their exhibitors with pastries like these – just saying…

Jim Keefe and his whole crew (Tessa, Anna, Leo and Sophie).

Queens University - Belfast, Ireland — Queen’s University Belfast

I recently had the opportunity to attend Q-Con XXII in Belfast, Ireland. It was held June 19-21 and is one of Ireland’s biggest gaming and anime conventions.

A special thanks to Aíne (red shirt) and Alianne (blue shirt) at registration who got me all set up when I got there.

On a side note, the neck lanyards they gave you on arrival were amazing. They contained all the information you needed and more – incredibly handy.
