- My con badge collection (2009-2019) I haven't got a chance to take them out since 2019, I bet the amount of badges has doubled in the last 7 years.
- My Nick Wilde collection over the last 3 moves. Now I need to set it up again at my new place. 🦊 #NickWilde #Zootopia
- Mattingly's cover art is fantastic and the centerpiece of my wall display.
- I did flipbooks for all of the Animorphs covers I did, but they appeared in black and white and very small, so I am posting them here so you can see them large and in color. No AI here--just Elastic Reality and painting. You can buy a signed print of this cover here: www.etsy.com/listing/798783044

- My closet in my hotel room looks like Nick Wilde is rooming with me 🦊
- Last Day for Ursa Major Nominations, my Cosplay History panel should be eligible for Nonfiction.
- The Breaking Bad house is cheaper than every smaller place I been looking at in Orlando and Seattle.
- Hotel dropped off this bag for me, not sure if it's because I'm a Guest of Honor or for another reason.
- First time I am a Guest of Honor for a con, I am at Capricon this weekend in Rosemont, IL! I will be on many panels and hosting 6 different full one hour panels on topics from con history to transformation. I will also be suiting around as @bashthepinata.bsky.social if you are in the area stop by!

- Official #Zootopia2 soundtrack title 🐾
- New page art for Wrath of Con. Forrest J Ackerman and Linus Hogenmiller, founders of the Boys' Scientifiction Club, and their abbreviations for scientifiction/science fiction. Linus' abbreviation "stf" is what most fans during the period used. Forry would come up with the term "sci-fi" in the 1950s.
- For my history comic now trying to work on a 2 page spread family tree of Science Fiction in between Shelley in 1816 and Hugo Gernsback in 1926/1929.
- I'm looking for local Orlando friends with big cars or vans I can potentially hire to drive my vending stuff up to FWA in May.
- My cat is very purry and cuddly tonight.
- Spent the last week drawing 14 new pages for Issue 1 of Wrath of Con. I still have about 12 more pages to complete before it's done. Very happy with this piece, tried to capture the vibe of San Francisco in 1929 before the bridges were built.
- I made Thai basil chicken for dinner... or breakfast, I just woke up.
- I got a new sign for my tropical themed living room!

- As someone long involved in the con scene, ran dealer rooms, & even given panels on the matter, there is a big clear difference between dealers upset with the common reality of dealing with con apps & one specific staffer who has a multi-year long history of unprofessional behavior to many vendors.

- I been saying for years convention vending artists need some type of Artist Alley union to deal with potential issues like what we been seeing at anime, comic, and furry cons, so individual artists aren't afraid to speak up. As well as other systemic issues some larger and older cons haven't updated

- Reposted by TransformARTive (Bash) 🔜 Capricon GOHVending for over 15 years and this is the most unprofessional "decline" I've ever seen. Entire last paragraph is wildly uncalled for and comes across as a personal jab and (hopefully) not the opinion of TFF as a whole. If you can't curate with basic crit/communication skills you need to step back

- Reposted by TransformARTive (Bash) 🔜 Capricon GOHAnd the fact that con staff talk to each other a *lot*. Find yourself kicked out of one con (regardless of the reason), and you may soon discover that it’s not the only one that stops interacting with or responding to you… Artists stand to lose a *LOT* by speaking up, even against arguable malice.
