Can't wait to be back at #TwinCitiesCon this weekend, and once again sharing a booth with these wonderful folks. Gotta say my favorite thing about traveling for cons, is getting to spend time with friends. ❤️

LOOK WHAT @faelovesart.bsky.social MADE! Some lucky folks may have a chance of getting these at #TwinCitiesCon coming up! But not the keychain of Lucy I already put on my backpack, that is miiiiiiiiine.
Set against a black table and silver laptop are six stickers and an acrylic keychain. The keychain and first sticker is of Lucy (pale girl with blood on her face and black hair just above her shoulders, looking at you like she isn't sure if she wants to kill you), followed by Jim (black man with warm, medium-dark skin, hair in short deadlocks pulled back with a retro scarf, and serving sass over his shoulder), Günter (half Japanese, half German man with tan skin and black hair past his shoulders, and who my spouse says is "Too attractive to have as much anxiety as he does"), Eva (Günter's sister, her dark hair in a braid spilling over her shoulder, looking at you like she knows something you don't), Ren (man with sallow, would-be olive skin, shaggy black hair, and a smirk to rival Eva's, because he's totally in on the joke that you have been left out of), and Krysti (white girl with long, wavy pale blond hair and a big smile because she is a ray of subshine made flesh).

Realized I forgot to post update during/after FanX in SLC! It was absolutely delightful sharing a booth with friends and fellow authors Fae Quin, KL Hiers, and Kit Barrie! We did group theme costumes, and had fun meeting new folks and reconnecting with folks from last year! Hope to see y'all again!
Group shot in front of our shared booth, with us as characters from Gravity Falls. Fae Quin is Mabel, DL is Dipper, KL Hiers is Bill Cipher, and Kit Barrie is Wendy DL as Dipper, 28th a fantastic Art the Clown cosplayer. Hope to see you next year, Jax! Remember to SMILE! DL as Alastor, with a fabulous Harley Quinn and Joker cosplay duo! Hazbin Hotel group cosplay! KL Hiers as Niffty, Fae Quin as Lucifer, DL as Alastor, and Kit Barrie as Angel Dust

Alastor got written up by OSHA! They didn't listen to him trying to say any issues with the new hotel are all Lucifer's fault.

OSHA officials write Alastor up as he tries to argue with them The OSHA violation, spewing vile LIES! They say I swallowed a microphone! I'm the RADIO DEMON! This is just my voice!

This is a blurry shot of the audience as the room was still filling up, everyone eager to talk folklore. The room ended up PACKED.

Hope to see more happy faces on my panels tomorrow!

DragonCon is this weekend! I'll be peddling books in the vendor hall or on one of these panels. Will only be in cosplay one day, so if you wanna see Alastor the Radio Demon, that's Sat. Every other day will be regular ol' me. ;)

Eh, I think neighboring states would get the billboard reference, too. But I get that, as not everyone is aware of this particular Ohio landmark. The message on the back of the shirt is very universal, however.
A black billboard set against an overcast sky and farm. It has "HELL IS REAL" in all caps, the letters solid white except for the H, which is red with white outline.

Animate Columbus was a blast! Especially as I got to spend it with @faelovesart.bsky.social! It was wonderful meeting so many great folks.

Break from cons until DragonCon in late Aug.

First convention of 2025 is a wrap. Animate Raleigh was a hellishly good time. I loved splitting a booth with beloved friend and fellow author KL Hiers. ❤️ We met lots of delightful folks, had wonderful conversations, and saw so much beautiful art and cosplay. A lovely way to kick off the new year!
