Falling in love is certainly something of beauty!

My day was extremely well spent up at Fall Con, here in Minnesota!I've never been to a comic con before, so it was insanely exciting. Really nerve wracking, too. I'm not used to really big crowds, so for at least the first hour I just kind of wandered aimlessly around while STARING at everything.



A lot of the nervousness broke after this fantastic cosplayer of Hagrid entered the room. I caught him on his second passing and he was very well kind enough to let me have a picture with him, asking me to simply "stroke the spine there"!


While not having much cash on me when going up, I did manage to get some swag.

• Jesstures 2009 by Jessica Hickman [link]


• JUMBO Sketchbook, li'l book of BABES vol. 2 & 3 by Chad Spilker [link]


• BIG Book of Beautiful Babes vol. 6 by Bald Guy

I also got to stop by *NeedleToTheGroove's booth. She was kind enough to give me a free sketch and was a joy to talk to.

Bald Guy and Chad Spilker were amazing guys to talk to. I was still terrified of being around so many people at the time, so I was instantly sucked into looking at their stuff. FANTASTIC pinups. I had a really hard time deciding on what to buy. Mr. Spilker was even kind enough to throw in a couple of his mini sketchbooks when I bought his big one.

Amy Lee Hadley (Madam Xanadu) was there. She was great to talk to, and was hosting a 'how to draw faces' panel later that day. (I didn't get to stay around that long).

It was great.

All in all, I'm exhausted, but so inspired! I definitely want to attend the next Fall Con (although I hear rumors of one being in April... <3 ).

Time to work on some art, yeaaagghhh!!

This too shall pass.
