Otakon Sketches

We had some down time at Otakon and I this one piece of paper infront of the the whole time. Like any creative person, I doodle like a maniac, and this is what happened ^_^

There's a few things in here I'm going to develop and a few that just make me giggle. If you couldn't tell, all I really wanted to do the whole time was draw tubcats and Adventure Time fan art. Marceline's hair is so fun to draw!

Otakon 2012

Last weekend was Otakon! We were preparing for this for a long time and while I didn't have enough to get some more things made (bags, shirts, etc) we had buttons, prints, jewelry and charms for sale! It was crowded and fun and like any good Anime convention, it was full of cosplayers! I took a few pics of my favorites. I hope you like them!


Arriving in Baltimore!


Andy had his stuff on the other side of the table, but mine half was way cuter :P


Oh man, check out all those buttons.


And charms! Tubcat definitely stole the show.


The Old Spice Guy was one of the first attendees we saw.


This guy put his buttons on his bag right quick!


Team Rocket! You might not know that I love a Pokemans.


Some people had props that were out of control. Also a staple of anime conventions...giant duct tape swords.


This guy was so cool! He had two full sleeves of breakfast cereal. One was just for Fruity Pebbles! But Lucky Charms is his favorite. He also had the Quaker Oats guy on his leg.


Super Mario Bros. 2 Peach!

Um Jammer Lammy & Parappa the Rapper

Luigi and Daisy

Very specific Ariel costume. Not gonna lie, I wanted this dress so bad when I was little.

The coolest Portal gun of the whole show. (There were lots.)

More Portal fun!

I found Waldo. Womp womp.

Coolest mom there.

Dr. Horrible was so nice.

I told Capt. Hammer that I'd seen a Dr. Horrible too and he told me not to worry. He'd already taken care of him for me. haha

Skinny Poliwhirl!

Marceline and Princess Bubblegum! These girls were so great. Marceline was so pro.

BMO! She was running around all excited...perfect BMO.

I don't know who he is...but he's awesome.

Professor Chaos! Oh Butters.

And Chris Redfield from Resident Evil 5. We've been playing the crap out of that game, so I was excited to see him haha

We had such a great time and I'm really excited to see where my shop goes from here. This was my first venture out with Pnut and Tubcat and they were the biggest hits! Which is cool cuz all I want to do is draw tubby kittens all day.

Count Down to Otakon

I've talked about Otakon quite a bit here, and be prepared for a little bit more ^_^ We've just a handful of days left till my favorite Anime convention! This is the first year I'll have a booth in the dealer's room as opposed to the artist alley. The dealer's room gets a lot more traffic and the booths are quite a bit more expensive, so I'm definitely taking a leap.

So for the next couple of days my dispaly stuff will be coming in and I'll be cranking out buttons like a mad woman.

New in the Shop!

So I finally got some charms made for the shop! I'm super excited as I finally found a place that could do what I really wanted, and they turned out so much better than I could've hoped. We're getting ready for Otakon this year (booth 904 in the Dealer's Room!) and I wanted to get these in the shop to see what people thought ^_^

Here's a few:







You can check them out the shop HERE!

Otakon 09 Picture Extravaganza!

It's been a week since Otakon and I'm still dizzy from the experience. It was SO much fun. We couldn't escape from the booth too much to look around, though I did venture into the dealer's room a couple of times ^_^ Anyway, we had a GREAT weekend and The Pink Samurai is going strong. Here are some pictures of the awesome kids who came out to the show.

Imagine this x 4...and on two floors. I love that Jason is in the middle!

Shun! Shun the non-believer!

Super kawaii in orange.

I don't know what's happening here, but I like it.

This guy had a huge contraption on his back, I applauded his dedication.

Couldn't get a good pic of them, but they were Dr. Girlfriend & Phantom Limb from the Venture Bros.! Only my favorite cartoon ever.

You're gonna say "wow' every time.

OMG RAPTOR JESUS! This guy won Otakon in my mind.

A couple of my sister's friends stopped by to say hi and raid the buttons.

The cutest Bumblebee Mario ever.

I think this is a neopet or something. Props to them if they made that themselves.

I don't think the phone is part of the cosplay.

Remeber her from my first Otakon? She came back wearing the purse she got from me 2 years ago! I was so happy to see it still being used and loved. Its the 99 potions bag. I'll have more bags for you next year, I promise ^_^

I'm a helper.

Checking out the buttons. Dick dyi-ed me a sweet display out of an old frame from Salvation Army.

I wish I could do this every day.

21 & 24! More Venture Bros. goodness. They actually found their pic on my flickr and commented on it! It made my day.

So cute. She was bopping people on the head all day.

na naaaa na na na na na na naa na na na na na naaaa

Samurai Pikachu.

We did really well at the show, a good example for other crafty people that craft fairs aren't the only way to go. Next year will be even better and we're already planning our next cons! Anime USA, Nekocon, and Katsucon here we come!
