Katsucon 2013: Day 3

Whoo boy, was day 3 of Katsucon ever a wild day! Started off with a whole 3 hours sleep, because there was an 8 AM panel that I definitely wanted to see, followed by picking up my Art Auction winnings, and finishing the day with cosplay photos, photos, and more photos!

Otakon 2012 Day 3 Pictures

Day 3 of Otakon 2012, and you can tell that the con is winding down. You can almost feel the exhaustion of the con-goers, by Sunday afternoon more people were sitting than standing! There were occasional bursts of energy, though. At any rate, here are the photos from Day 3 of Otakon 2012. Enjoy!

Otakon 2012 Day 2 Pictures update!

Well, I could have written a few things about what I did at Otakon on Day 2 (my birthday!), but nah, I think most people just want to see the pictures, so here they are, a whole mess of them from Day 2!
UPDATE: I found about 20 more pictures I took Saturday, that I thought I had lost! I added them to the gallery below, they were taken in the plaza and fountain at the Inner Harbor!

More Otakon 2012 updates coming soon…

Well, the notorious “con-crud” or “con-grunge” or “con-fluenza” has laid me out for a bit, so the reports on Otakon 2012 Day 2 and Day 3 will be posted later this week.  32,000+ people all in the same space breathing each others’ air, often having to nearly yell to make myself heard, plus braying 70’s pop music at the top of my lungs in a singalong with others at the “Evangelion” fan parody showing, all part of the recipe for microbial hijinks.  Oh, and sleep deprivation to boot.

Here are some pictures from Saturday and Sunday, to make up for lack of full updates:

Two webcomic reviews in one! “Far Out There” and “Conventional Wisdom”

This is probably the only time I’m going to review two webcomics at once, but in this case it’s because they have the same creator, Simon Ladd, one of the few webcomics artists who produce more than one comic at the same time.

More Katsucon 2012 cosplayers

Here are some more of the cosplayers I took pictures of at Katsucon 2012 a couple of weeks ago. Some of them didn’t turn out so well, and for that I apologize to anyone that I didn’t capture nicely enough, or if I made your excellent costuming come out looking not as good. Everyone’s creativity and skill was definitely fantastic (in more ways than one ^_^) and I hope you all get to see these!

Thanks to all who allowed me to photograph them, and I hope to see you at the next con!

Katsucon end of con photo shoot

My friend John Nelson let me tag along on his photo shoot with a group of nice kids he’d met at other conventions, and so I snapped a few shots at the same time.  Here are a few of the best, I’ll be posting some videos to YouTube later, along with other pictures from Katsucon.
