I had a blast this year!!!  The attendance was easily double that of last year, however I was still able to maneuver through the crowd and talk with some amazing artists.  The highlight was finally meeting Phil Noto.  I brought along two of his older sketchbooks for a signature and without even blinking an eye he snatched them up and did a head sketch in each for me.  Unlike some artists who just sign a quick doodle squiggle as a signature or won't even bother with signings, this was a pleasant surprise! Another artist that is a must see is David Petersburg of Mouse Guard, super nice guy!!
Artist alley was full of amazing talent including...    I was fortunate to also get on commission list and walked away with a BEAUTIFUL rendition of Domino.  In all I'm anxiously awaiting to return to this Con next year and see what treasures it brings!!
