Tristan the Teddy Bear went Retro at Retrocon 2014

Tristan the Teddy Bear at RetroCon 2014

It has been a week since RetroCon 2014 and enough time to collect my thoughts and give a quick overview of the event from my little section of it.

The Cosplay

First off I am sure you’ve all checked out the RetroCon Cosplay post, although most of the pictures are from day one, some of the second day pictures made their way into the post which is good. Because I am experiencing some difficulties retrieving all the pictures from the second day of this event. I will post them when I get them.

How did it go?

I will admit in terms of trade I have had better shows, RetroCon is still very much a Toy show and I a lot of the people there were after that fix for their classic toy collections. While the convention is seeing more artists, and comic culture, it still has a long way to go before it becomes an all-encompassing pop culture show. I have no doubt it will make it.

What did you take?

Well along with the usually Teddy Bear Tales gear I sat down and drew six super-deformed Transformers to add to the Cuddly Sketch Card range.

Did you do some art?

Yes I did, every show I attend I normally a few unique art pieces, and this event was no different. Check out the gallery below. Remember these piece will never be duplicated, and will be available until they are gone forever.

Totally random Retrocon pictures

What is going to follow now is a small total random series of pictures in a gallery from Retrocon 2014.

So will you return?

Out of state conventions are difficult things to judge, I suspect if there isn’t a local show conflicting I will return to RetroCon next year and bring more Teddy Bear goodness to the show. See y’all soon!
