Friends at FanX

We weren’t the only ones who had a great time at the Fan Xperience. We saw a lot of local friends out hustling the floor.

Amy of Steampunk Bijou, looking great as always. Check out her handmade hair ornament!

The guys at Big Shiny Robot love symbiotes. We look forward to working with them again. We hope our brains are not eaten. Caleb of Blonde Grizzly, feeling super, making money.

 

Dave of Geekleetist insisted these were not his friends. They insisted they were.

 

Shirley Jackson has a really fun art style and a wonderful smile. Mate Page also has a fun style, but he is less congenial.

Fun at Fan Xperience

We had a great time at Salt Lake Comic Con’s Fan Xperience. We met lots of fun artists, fans, cosplayers, and general weirdos. We got some great feedback on our work and we learned some good lessons about the market at nerd conventions. Most importantly, we acquired swag and snapped pics.

Hedwig does not impress the Spider Scouts.

In an ironic twist of fate, our embarrassing childhood TV shows and games have become mainstream commodities. Where we had to go to the local rollerskating rink or high school football games to meet new people, kids now get to put on costumes and chase other pubescent teens around a fleshy, fluorescent nerd paradise.

Try as you might, you cannot beat Hawkmom! We love you, Hawkmom!

Dr. Who has become king of this pop culture festival. I remember watching reruns of Dr. Who and the Flying Circus on public television in my parents’ basement on Saturday nights when I should have been out dating. Now, watching Dr. Who gets you dates. My sixteen year old brain would have exploded.

God damn, that’s cute!

Eva Necklaces

As we’ve discussed earlier, we love Japanese monsters. We love all monsters, but the Japanese have a particular flair for creating great beasties. This extends from medieval folktales of trickster yokai to modern depictions of giant, destructive kaiju. We put a lot of thought into it and we think Hideaki Anno designs some of the best kaiju. The way they look, the noises they make, their special attacks; the man clearly puts a lot of thought into his monsters.

Space Kaiju
Kaiju biology, it’s a well-researched field of made up science.

To celebrate such great cosmic monsters, Magen designed these Evangelion necklaces based on Sachiel and Sahaquiel. They were created to be fan art, but they were designed to be aesthetically pleasing to everyone.
