Capricon

This last weekend we had a table Capricon in Arlington Heights, our second science fiction convention as Necropolis Studios. Capricon was extremely well organized; they even had the room parties in the convention booklet, a daily 2 page newsletter about all of the activities that were happening last minute, and they provided food for all of the dealers. It was also the most themed con I had ever been to. The theme was pirates and you could pretty much do pirate related things every moment of the convention if you chose to.

Thing went reasonably well at the booth, we learned quite a bit and have a lot ideas about a new booth set up. We also upset our first person, apparently someone mistook "necropolis" for "necrophilia" and was unhappy we would name our studio after such an awful thing. One of the other dealers let us know as they thought it was pretty funny, we thought it was pretty funny as well. A man named David with interesting eyebrows came by and took our pictures, which he then emailed to us, which was very nice of him. We got quite a bit of art done at the con, Grace seems to be getting over her dry spell. I was working on a large dragon that I'm hoping to get casts of in April.

Here is a shot of me working on the Dragon:


Here is a shot of Grace drawing "Wearing My Nonsense Hat Again":


Here are a few pictures Grace drew at the con:

Angela, I just wanted to stop buy and say I'm a fan of your work. I truly believe that your eyeball boxes are going to be the Next Big Thing when it comes to how gamers store their dice. I really think that's going to blow up big for you, especially if you continue to work big cons and maybe set up an online store.

And I can't wait to see the completed dragon!

Thank you. I'm glad you like the Dragon. Your blog is very impressive.
